Senior Member Hair4Days Posted August 4, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 4, 2020 Looks great man! honestly, I’d be cool with those results as is and you’re only at 6 months.. looking forward to seeing your progress, it will only get denser. Would you say your expectations of dr bloxham were met? And also What kind of Haircut do you plan on getting with the scar? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted August 4, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 4, 2020 This is an excellent result, you're ahead of the curve! The hairline is very natural and there's good density behind.

Senior Member Tbcruz Posted August 5, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 5, 2020 @HairFunk thanks I appreciate it. @James C To be honest this journey had it’s up and downs. From the 5th month is when things slowly started to look good. A week ago I finally could style my hair to the back/side and it was an awesome feeling. funny story was when I was styling my hair last week..I had some hair fibers out as well as the wax and when I styled it. I was so shocked that my hair looked awesome without the fibers that I just left it like that. so my scar Line is thin but because of the lingering redness I have a feeling if I go short on the back it will be noticeable a little. For 7 months I’m going to get a fade in the back probably gonna go with a #4 for the scar and I will post some pictures if it’s noticeable I will be getting smp into it and I’m sure then I’ll be able to go even shorter in the back. @aaron1234 thanks I hope I still have a lot of thickening left !! @RecessionProof thanks man appreciate it!! 1st procedure (8-4-17) - Dr. Luís Nader FUE 1551 grafts. https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/49351-1551-grafts-with-luis-nader/?tab=comments#comment-455985 2nd procedure (2-4-20) - Dr. Blake Bloxham FUT 1986 grafts https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/55933-dr-blake-bloxham-fut/?tab=comments#comment-529401 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member ItHasToLookNatural Posted August 22, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2020 On 8/4/2020 at 2:55 PM, Tbcruz said: Alright guys today marks 6 months (26 weeks) exactly. I started styling my hair from right to left. Right side is ahead of the curve and left Side as well as a certain part of the hairline is lagging a little. When my hair is styled with wax or wet it honestly looks great. It makes my hair seem thicker. It’s great to be able to style my hair and leave the house i am very happy with how it looks styled. When it’s dried it looks good combed over. If I brush it forward you we’ll see it’s still a little see through on the left side. Scar is looking good. I have some scabbing/ingrown hairs and it’s still bumpy. A couple of scabs actually came off because I was picking at them and they had hairs in them. Don’t have a picture of the scar because my hair is long in the back so I don’t think about it. In the next month I’m going to get a proper haircut and I’ll take tons of pics. let me know if you guys have any questions. MAN I've been following this thread from the beginning. What a great result you got. Very natural. I'm scheduled with Dr. Bloxham for 800 FUE grafts this winter. Do you have any thoughts on his FUE capabilities?

Thank you @ItHasToLookNatural I think he is as good as any doctor doing fue tbh. He will stop the procedure if the grafts are not coming out the way they are suppose to. To me that’s as ethical as it gets. I think your in good hands to get a great result.

Senior Member giegnosiganoe Posted October 3, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted October 3, 2020 Spotted you in Bloxham's latest vid! Question: Do you agree with Bloxham that the transplanted hairs from your first procedure were of bad quality like he describes in the video? I wonder if the before situation would've looked better grown out with a similar hair style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Bloxham did mention that my grafts were more on the frágil side and I was not a good candidate for fue from the start. The before situation looked good combed forward.

moh_m Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The results look good. With previous FUE and this FUT strip removed. Did Dr. Bloxham say how many grafts your donor can provide in future ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
