Slow and steady wins the race and at 5 months it's not even at half time change ends. All the best! Thank you! 🤩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member blackislback Posted December 6, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 6, 2021 Glad to see, so "fast" past your 5 months, probably for you not fast like for us spectators , but i'm really glad see very nice progress in your case ! Definetely this 5th month is visible progress. And i'm sure at 7th-8th months will be with even bigger progress and more density . Wish you to be asap big growth and big density ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member tokerutaichou Posted January 6, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 6, 2022 6 months update Hey everyone! Another month has passed, and it's time to share my current progress with you. I can see some improvement compared to last month. It might not seem that way from the photos, but when you look at me from the front, I definitely look a lot better than I did before the HT! At least in my opinion. 😋 Luckily I'm quite tall, so the vast majority of people will never look at my head from the top. I'm still using the baby shampoo (my barber said I can keep using it indefinitely in his opinion), and I'm now allowing myself to expose my scalp to the sun, at least for short durations. There are still a few odd hairs here and there- they feel rough and are very curly, compared to my soft and straight usual hair. What do you think about this? Also, I think I will update once every 2 months from here on out. If you think I should keep updating every month, please let me know! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member ITA Posted February 3, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 3, 2022 It is clear that there is an improvement, it is also clear that you will need a refill, I don't remember if you had already mentioned it on your thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member tokerutaichou Posted March 4, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 4, 2022 8 months update My baby shampoo finally ran out, but it does a good job of keeping the dandruffs away (I have a chronic problem with that), so I decided to keep using it. For years now, I've combed my hair sideway and backward to give it a fuller appearance. But now I noticed that it almost looks decent if I comb it to the front, which is nice. It also makes my hairline appear a bit lower. However, for these photos, I combed it as usual. Maybe if I grow it out a bit more it will look better, but as long as I'm posting these photos I'll try to get a haircut every month. Note that since this month was shorter, and since I had a delay in getting my haircut, my hair is a bit shorter compared to usual. Next update in a month. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member MaasterK Posted March 10, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 10, 2022 I think that letting your hair grow a little longer will give a fuller appearance, maybe starting at month 10 you should stop the haircuts so when you get to the year after the transplant you can do a before/after with same length of hair you had on your before pictures 💪! You definitely improved your hair a lot comparing it to the before, I'm curious about the final result! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might even do that starting now. I'll think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 11, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 11, 2022 It's looking really good and that's a lot of scalp coverage! I agree with @MaasterK that you should cut your hair less frequently and you will have a fuller look. All the best and thanks for sharing! 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SD1984 Posted March 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 11, 2022 Doesn't get much better than this for a NW 7 3700 grafts, and you still have a ways to go. Add some dermatch or fibers for even more visual improvement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't know much about DermMatch. From quick browsing it looks cool, but I don't know if it's something I'll actually use lol. Right now, I look pretty decent from the front and I'm fairly tall, so I think this is satisfactory for now.

Senior Member blackislback Posted March 13, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 13, 2022 Congratulations, definetely progress in your case is visible, after 8 months , and for NW6-7 think really good results, and still 4 months left to continue growth ... Think if you leave hair 2 months without haircut , will be even better visible your progress after HT. I'm glad see your progress ! Wish you to be in 1-2-3 months whatever even better ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member tokerutaichou Posted April 2, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) 9 months update Hey guys! 9 months have passed, and now I think my hair looks pretty decent even if I comb it to the front. It also makes my hairline look lower, so that's what I did for these photos. Do you think I should retake them with my hair combed sideways, as before? Also, I'm considering skipping the haircut next week, and letting my hair grow out for another month, for the next progress photos. What do you think?

Senior Member SLA Posted April 2, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 2, 2022 Excellent progress from your starting point and more time left. I think grown out and side parted tends to looks the fullest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
