Makes sense. Sucks seeing the hair become less dense don’t it, mines slowly starting to go haha. Haha stay strong brother. Our hair will grow out just in time for the beach season (which might be on next year since we have a vaccine now!) I better start my ab workouts now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member LondonRamen Posted December 18, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) 1 Month Post-Op Full on in the midst of the ugly duckling phase. Still some of the flat laying hairs to shed, but a lot of them are coming off now since I started wiping down with my towel instead of patting it dry. The flat hairs end up caught on the towel fibres and come off. I'm also seeing these black sprouts of tiny hairs all over the scalp where the old hairs have shed. Not sure, if that's because im growing early or that's how the hairs shed, leaving a little dormant base which will start growing in a few months. A bit mild shock loss of natives in the hairline I think (hoping not permanent), but my hair was quite diffuse in that area before, and this is cosmetically comparable to what I had when I shaved to this length around half a year ago, so not too worrisome.

Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted December 18, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 18, 2020 I don't see any native shock loss in your hairline, but I guess you know best. Hope they'll return soon. Recipient area looks great BTW, you seem to be healing fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing cosmetically serious so i'm not too worried, and a drop in the ocean compared to the number of grafts implanted in that area so won't matter when they grow out. Though shockloss can be temporary, I'm not too worried either way if these few ones are lost permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime next week i'll be exactly at the 3month mark so I will take some pictures then and post. I also took some at the 2 month mark as it was the point shortly after I finished shedding so thought it'd be a useful comparison. Unfortunately, a busy lifestyle hasn't left me much time to go through my phone and edit the photos for posting 😅 Will post both post sets of photos next week at the 3 month mark! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member LondonRamen Posted February 18, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hello! sorry for the delay, here's some pics of the 2 month mark and 3 month mark. At the 2 month mark my shedding had finished with maybe say 10% of hairs surviving the shed. As a useful guide i've also highlighted one of the regions with black lines that indicate an area that was basically bare naked before the HT. 2 months 3 months No real changes yet, just the 10% that survived the shed which is growing. Though under less bright my hair is looking significantly thicker than it used to at this length (maybe the 10% is helping here). I took these pictures around noon with the sun out and near my window. The reference spot near my bare temple with my mole is still fairly sparse/empty.

Regular Member LondonRamen Posted February 18, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) If you look at me head on without me leaning forward there's quite the illusion of density too, so it doesn't look too bad in real life. Considering i'm 6 foot, this is how most people see me. Edited February 18, 2021 by LondonRamen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Mycroft Posted February 18, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2021 Thanks for updating. At the three month mark it looks safe to say that you haven't suffered much in the way of shock loss to your native hair. I'm very interested to see how this turns out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took these at roughly the same time of day/lighting and place in my living room as the previous post. Better than last month (partially because the hair is longer) but still quite a bit of a thin relative to every else. Not too bad though IMO for only four months. Here's some head on with one further out. It's dense enough that no one comments on it as looking weird and probably wouldn't notice my thin temples unless they were purposefully looking for it. At the very least, I don't feel self concious about it. And a couple extra from different angles below Edited March 23, 2021 by LondonRamen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Mycroft Posted March 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 23, 2021 You look like you're a bit above baseline at this point, which is a pretty good place to be for four months. No major shock loss or issues with redness, and growth rate looks reasonable so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member teeplant Posted March 23, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 23, 2021 I think it looks promising at 4 months. There is a clear visual improvement from month 3 to 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
