I was actually only asked if I wanted shaven/part shaven on the day - no extra cost, just told me that it takes slightly longer. I just assumed it’d all be buzzed so was really happy with the outcome (until shock loss kicked in!). I couldnt deal with the mess of saline spray getting into my native hair. Think my hairline is further up than yours before HT so buzzing down everything was a better option for me. By the way I am in week 5th but have not really shed. Not sure what happens next😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take some pictures of donor tmw but plz note that I buzz it down every 5th day to make everything look even. I am in 5th week now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When were you allowed to start buzzing down with clippers? I actually dont notice the number. Using philips and it clicks from 1-6. 1 is the lowest setting and it would show scalp if I buzz it down. I use setting 3 or 2 I started buzzing down after 15-17 days and without touching surgery area Edited January 27, 2020 by Looking for HT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Min12 Posted February 2, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 2, 2020 Interested in knowing if buzzing down to 1 would show obvious signs of scarring since the punch sizes used in eugenix are 0.9-1.0mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey bud, I am buzzing it carefully but cos I am doing it myself, its hard to keep it all even. Yes, some patches are visible but I want to keep whole head buzzed at same level. I hide transplanted area with dermmatch and fibres so everything looks same. Posting latest pictures in 10 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Looking for HT Posted February 2, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Hey everyone. Sorry for the delay in posting pictures. Day 42. Week 6 since the HT. Pictures below after shower and dry hair. Using Nizoral once or twice a week due to the whole head being itchy. The baby shampoo makes my scalp very dry. Aloe vera gel didnt relieve itchiness. I dont know how much I have shed. Temples have shed a lot though. During shower, I see few small hair but not a lot. Is this called an ugly duckling phase? If yes, I am beating the phase by using dermmatch and fibres. Please let me know your thoughts. I am taking no medication at all !! Thanks Edited February 2, 2020 by Looking for HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Min12 Posted February 3, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 3, 2020 Donor hair looks patchy but front looks good so far. I’ve seen some patients who only keep their donor short after surgery to not make the patchiness obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Looking for HT Posted February 4, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 4, 2020 Week 6 Hey folks. This post is for people who only shed around 30% and how to disguise. Before and after pictures. After pictures- Combination of dermmatch and nanogen fibres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Looking for HT Posted February 22, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2020 Exact 2 months today. All I can do is wait now. I am on no medication at all as want to get the results in natural way and in its own time. Head gets itchy as using dove baby shampoo. Been using coconut oil to soothe the scalp. Aloe vera doesnt work for me anymore. Makes my scalp dry. I give myself haircut every 5 days. Use number 1 or less to give a buzz cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Great write up of your surgical experience. I wish more patients would take the kind of time you have to try and help some other potential patients. I know most patients use the forums to read tons of reviews and view hundreds of before and after photos. Unfortunately, most of these patients will not give back any of the time (pay it forward) to post about their surgical experience like you have. Good luck. It looks like a very nice job was done. 1 Dr. Glenn Charles is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
