OP, you’ve already hit the ball out the park, and it’s only going to get better from here ! Well done and thankyou for sharing, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HugoX Posted June 17, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Had a hair cut yesterday, thought I'll share how it looks like, taken with mobile. 5.5 months now. ✌️ Edited June 17, 2021 by HugoX 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HugoX Posted June 17, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 17, 2021 Might also add, the hair dresser was in a hurry as I came on the wrong day so she went really fast and missed to even out some places around the neck.

Senior Member tressful11 Posted June 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Most people would dream of that kind of results 12 months out. At 5.5 months that's an outstanding result looking at where you started. Enjoy your full head of hair.

Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted June 18, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2021 WOW! Fantastic progress and the work itself by Dr Zarev!...especially the crown work/progress as usually that area takes much longer to show progress. I’ve seen some of his patient videos and even one where he talks about his process and it was very interesting, thanks for posting, keep updating and looking forward to seeing more of your progress! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HugoX Posted June 18, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Thanks guys, I never imagined to get were I am this quickly. Tried today with some fibers...lets just say that it looked like I have never lost hair. I don't know if you guys ever have tried (or similar), Volluma hair spray fiber, I did try Toppik like fibers... I thought this spray on fibers that are supposed to be wind and water resistance was easier to apply and gets better in between hair and scalp. I will take some pictures another time with the fibers in. https://www.volluma.se/produkt/hairfor2-salon-professional-fiber-spray-300ml-4pack/ Edited June 18, 2021 by HugoX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member asterix0 Posted June 18, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) @HugoX How has the redness been in your recipient area? Is it mostly faded away or still some left? That hair spray looks pretty good but I don't know if they sell it in the US.. Edited June 18, 2021 by asterix0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use 5% minoxidil mixed with 0.1 finasteride that was provided by Dr Zarev. Regarding Covid situation on Bulgaria I have no idea how it is today, I was there in the beginning of January, at that time I did not need to take any covid test before entry to the country when flying from Sweden , I think you will have to look at their embassies Web page for latest info on this. Sofia was nice city, not that big, easy to get around, cheap taxi and food, reasonable hotel prices, I am of course comparing to the Swedish prices saying this.

What minoxidil will do is to widen the blood vessels to deliver more oxygen-rich blood to the hair follicles. Minoxidil also helps increase the size of hair follicles, which promotes the growth of thicker, stronger hairs. In addition, the topical treatment shortens the resting (telogen) phase of hair growth, which means your hair stays in the growth (anagen) phase longer, so it's a kickstart for the transplant, I will continue with it even when I have done my last and second surgery sometime in October. It will also help the hair on sides and back (where transplant hair connects to none transplant hair). I might loose a little bit but more around those areas in the future, but I have looked the same for 10 years, so it is pretty stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member JonDoe Posted June 19, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted June 19, 2021 So should I apply minoxidil on my donor sides and donor back area to improve more growth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think around the border land its always difficult to know how much further down it will go on sides and back, age is also important, and how your hair loss is progressing, I am a Norwood 6/7 and have been for 10 years and looked pretty much same, and I am soon to be 40 years, so hopefully I will will not see much more hair loss around the sides. So in general, where you still have hair left that is in a risk zone, always good to treat it in some way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HugoX Posted July 5, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2021 Day 180 ( 6 months) update. Pictures taken as usual after shower, blow dry and with flash. One thing I can add now that there is more hair... After approximately 15 years of wearing a hair system with soft, slightly wavy Indian hair, I had forgotten how my own hair was, dry, medium vawy and coarse 😅,much more difficult to style. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
