Regular Member Hairlinedreamer Posted January 23, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 23, 2023 I am so sorry for the lack of updates folks, my life has suddenly gone crazy with a job change and a house move! So the attached images are just shy of the 8 month mark (239 days) and it is a massive improvement on where I was previously. I can wear my hair with no product and everything just sits so much better. I can also sweep my hair back when wet (if playing football for example) and that was absolutely unthinkable to me prior to the procedure. I don't wear my hair like this due to my forehead being enormous, but it shows what it has done for my confidence! In terms of styling, the base of the hair is still very stubborn so it is hard to manipulate at this time but I know as time goes on and the hair softens/ matures, this will hopefully sort itself out! As much as I am happy with where I am, I am hopeful that as the hair matures I will potentially see a bit of an improvement on the thickness of hairs. I am by no means unhappy, but I guess hair-greed is a real thing! At 8 months I am not expecting any great changes, but once the hair softens and matures, I am hopeful I may potentially get a small improvement! I have had a load of compliments on my hair and lots of people just can't put their finger on what is different about me (which is great and shows how natural the hairline design was by Bisanaga and team). I have managed to go through the procedure up to now with only one other person knowing I had it done (my partner), which is crazy to be honest. I am still on the usual Bisnaga Minoxidil prescription and don't intend to stop at this point. Other than making my hair a lot darker, I have had no sides (should also mention the increase in body hair which was a bit daunting as my legs, arms, hands and feet saw most of the additional growth.. a small pice to pay I guess). Be great to see what people think and sorry again for not posting. I always intended on being a regular poster and I am continuing to check in on other peoples progress. I will be back at 10 months for another update :). FYI The pictures are a combination of slightly wet and dry hair. Thanks all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never intended on leaving it so long and it was always in my mind that it was only fair to the community to provide regular updates, but life got in the way! Choosing a doctor who had proven results with similar hair characteristics was the main reason I went for Bisanga and thus far, I am very pleased. The FUE 3300 result is crazy and almost set an unrealistic expectation for everyone else haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jonulous Posted January 24, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 24, 2023 Looking all very natural and full, H-dreamer. It's an interesting thing with the darker tones being brought out by your being on Minoxidil. Though when the pics are viewed at full rez the lighter browns are still visible in the mix.

Superb result! Happy for you! 2 questions for OP and anyone out there who can chime in: 1. Any idea why Bisanga usually recommends oral minox as opposed to fin? 2. What would happen if you were to stop the oral minox after 12 months say, when you reach full growth? (Curious if you asked Bisanga this, what would happen should you choose to stop taking it) Thanks!

Regular Member ProspectII Posted January 26, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 26, 2023 Great result! Did you notice significant change / benefits with Oral Minoxidil? I ask because I have been taking 2.5mg a day since the start of November so almost 3 months in and I can't say I've experienced any as of yet. Keen to know when it started kicking in for you. All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Curious if you asked Bisanga this, what would happen should you choose to stop taking it) Thanks! Hi mate, thanks for the comment. To be brutally honest, I do not know the reason for Bisanga recommending Minox, from what I understand minoxidil increases blood flow to the scalp, which may contribute to increased hair growth. I did ask about Fin but he advised this is not something I need... if anyone can shed any light on why this might be, that would be good to know! In respect of stopping Minox, the research says that you would lose any growth you obtained from the drug... I have always wondered about this as I am assuming I would go back to the position I was in prior to starting the drug. But as my particular case was not a case of diffuse thinning and it was a hairline restoration, I don't know how much of a difference there would be. Having said that, as I have previously mentioned my hair is a lot darker, I am assuming this is as a result of 'thicker' hair... so maybe I would see a big difference. I am sick of being asked if I am dying my hair, so maybe it would be worth seeing what happens haha I am currently still on 5mg daily, but if you do stop, be sure to let me know how it goes.

All the best. Hi ProspectII, To be honest, it was probably around the 4/5 month mark that I noticed a heavy increase to my arm/ leg hair. In terms of the difference to my head of hair (the important bit!!), I really don't know when it kicked in but I would guess around the 5/6 month mark is when I really noticed the difference to hair colour (which I am assuming is as a result of thickness). Hope it starts to kick in soon and you are happy with the results! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
