Regular Member Cmike Posted February 16, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hey guys, I’m new to this hair loss journey, and wanted to get peoples thoughts on what’s best. I’m about a Norwood 1.5 to Norwood. And I’m on finasteride but I want to even put my hairline. I have an appoint with a doctor for a transplant and wondered what’s the difference between FUE and FUT? And what’s better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member deeznuts Posted February 16, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 16, 2021 Lower Norwoods usually just get FUE because they're not so limited by donor supply due to their limited hair loss. There's also the potential for no shave procedures. You might consider FUT if you prefer a cheaper procedure, don't mind a giant horizontal scar on the back of your head, are okay with a bit longer recovery, and feel like you may experience more significant hair loss in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the gel combed through damp hair before blow drying, then when it’s dry use the grooming clay to style then a bit of their hairspray to keep it in line, not cheap but the best quality hair products I’ve ever used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
