Senior Member Sean Posted April 9, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted April 9, 2020 Melvin, great effort. Your hair looks thick. donor doesn't seem to be impacted from that video. some of us with wreckless donor shock losses can no longer pull off fades. i can try to give this a shot to see—need some confidence to do this lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 9, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted April 9, 2020 Thanks Sean my hair definitely has some weaknesses, I was going to post about it today. Try it out, remember you can always use a larger guard. Try going a #2 closed, to #3 open I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member Sean Posted April 9, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted April 9, 2020 Thanks Melvin. Question regarding the clippers. Theres a slider on the side that brings Blades closer. Do i pull it up then use the attachment or leave it down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a slider on the side that brings Blades closer. Do i pull it up then use the attachment or leave it down? So the lever on the side of the clippers is important, when the lever is pulled all the way back the guard moves up, this means the guard is open. When the lever is pulled forward the guard moves down-this means it’s closed. Ideally, you wanna start with the guard closed, and then move the like slightly up with the guard open, and then move up to a higher guard. For you I’d follow this: #1. #2 guard closed, start the line at the top of your ear. #2. #2 guard open, move the line up slightly. #3. #3 guard closed, move up slightly more. #4. #3 guard open and this will start to blend everything.

LonelyGraft Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Great video Melvin, you pull it off really well ive developed an eye for donor fue scars that 99% of the normal public can’t recognize. I believe you had .9 and 1.0mm punches right? Has anyone ever noted the scarring including barbers? You ever try to buzz your whole head to see how it would look with the donor?

No one’s ever said anything to me, including barbers. I would never buzz my head again. That’s why I got the transplants, to avoid buzzing. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Its nice to have the option especially during the summer Nah not for me, I shaved my head for a year before having surgery. Never again. I don’t see the point in having a hair transplant if you’re gonna buzz your head. Might as well just buzz it and safe your self the time and money. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Craig2412 Posted April 13, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted April 13, 2020 Thanks for the tips @Melvin-Moderator I tried doing a DIY skin fade today but went too high and short with the back. The sides look ok. Meant to be zero to a 3 guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 13, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted April 13, 2020 Looks good mate, your scarring is incredible seriously. Next time I’d start the fade slightly lower, so you have room to fade upwards. But the fade itself looks good. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Craig2412 Posted April 13, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted April 13, 2020 Cheers Melvin, I forgot to take a photo of the donor grown out slightly prior to show it with the hair slightly longer then usual. I’ll try and get one next time. Ok thanks, I’ll go in lower and maybe use a 4 guard depending how long the lockdown continues in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
