Senior Member Zoomster Posted June 14, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 14, 2023 8 month update Hi folks Delighted to report I’m enjoying what I believe will be my long term hairstyle into the future ..I’ve shelved the ponytail idea as the style I’m sporting now is proving so helpful in wiping out any weak areas in one sweep back motion . I use a hair crème which is what you see here ( no fibres at all ) …I got a zero right up to the top of each side of scalp last week ..the barber didn’t speak English and just gave me the style he has wearing which I love to be honest Ive dropped oral minoxidil due to too many heart palpitations..which I’m very frustrated about as it’s a wonder drug if you ask me . Ive enclosed an outdoor hairline pic again just crème product .. My eternal gratitude to everyone Involved in my restoration,Docs ,techs and indeed my esteemed forum members .

Senior Member MazAB Posted June 14, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) The slick back looks awesome on you Karl! Definitely the best look on you, and if it hides more in the crown area then it's a double win. I would agree that is the better approach than the pony tail. I've always thought the pony tail had a more hippie look to it, which, knowing you, definitely doesn't suit your overall image. Looking better by the day Karl! I do have a suggestion for you though. Not sure what kind of hair brush you are using, but unless it's a boar bristle brush, the regular combs and brushes tend to cluster the hairs together instead of spreading them out evenly. What I've been doing is starting off with a normal wide bristle comb to de-knot and get the hair loose and flowing, then I use the boar bristle brush as the finishing brush, just lightly brushing and following the direction of the styled hair to spread out the coverage in the most balanced way possible. Looks cleaner this way, and also most importantly, A LOT FULLER! Trust me, it works like a charm and makes a noticeable difference in aiding to the illusion of density in my opinion. https://a.co/d/3MTFjE8 Follow my Journey with Eugenix and Dr Arika Bansal!

Senior Member Bandit90 Posted June 15, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2023 Unreal Karl! The hair style really suits you.

Thanks mate ..I wouldn’t ordinarily of gone zero right up to the top of sides but like I said the barber just sheared it all off like I was a true NW 0 ..I normally leave it blended into around 3 at the higher end of sides to help camouflage some of the FUE scars ..which are very acceptable btw ..👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Zoomster Posted July 15, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2023 9 Month update Well folks it’s been a pretty stressful couple of weeks hair progress wise . On the strength of a friends recommendation I decided to try “ Just for Men” grey reducing hair dye shampoo ..please to all members avoid at all costs ..long story short i lost a large number of grafts after my first application..could see a wet ponytail like clumb of grafts in the shower cubicle after the washing out of the shampoo ( you’ve to leave in for 2 mins ) it was almost tear inducingly stressful . It wreaked havoc across my scalp with grafts lost in hairline and mid scalp .. The Doc has assured me the lost grafts will grow back ..Ive been an Anagen desynchroniser with my last 2 procedures normally around 10months so I’ll be under the gun over the next couple of months ..fingers crossed all will be ok 🤞 The pics attached are with hair crème applied no fibres but probably some of that Devils product darkish hue on board . Just haven’t the energy or headspace to write to the company and complain ..I’ve enough on my plate Karl 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Odysseus Posted July 15, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 15, 2023 "Ive been an Anagen desynchroniser with my last 2 procedures normally around 10months so I’ll be under the gun over the next couple of months" Can you help me to understand this a little better, @Zoomster? I've seen comments and a video that mention it, but I'm not quite clear on whether this is a permanent phenomenon (hairs that were transplanted at the same time always phases in and out at the same time forever) or if, over time, they start to phase in and out in a staggered timeline like normal scalp hairs do.
