Senior Member gillenator Posted September 4, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 4, 2022 There is definitely a visual improvement Nick and letting your hair gain several inches of more length will look more dense. 1 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Regular Member NickJ Posted September 7, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 7, 2022 5 months 1/2 update It's starting to grow longer, I feel it's starting to really blend in and I might start clay or wax for the first time in the coming weeks I think for the 6 months mark I will have reach a result that I will consider "satisfying" already I will also update weekly now that most of the growth happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member NickJ Posted September 21, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 21, 2022 6 months update So guys today important milestone it has been 6 months (looking back it feels like more than that but it was mostly the first months that seemed very long) I have to say that I am very pleased with the current result in the last weeks the HT hair is really blending in (I'm not having any product in my hair for these pics). People I meet now didn't imagine that I was losing my hair. I would rate it a solid 9/10 for 6 months and I hope it will get thicker in the next 4 to 5 months What do you think guys? *I would say that the only "regret" I have is that I played it very conservative on the hairline (I'm 29) and I could've gone half a cm lower as I think my crown looks solid 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HairEnthusiast101 Posted September 21, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 21, 2022 Wow your results are incredible. Your doctor hit this out of the park. And I think it will get even thicker as well. My hairline is similar and my age is as well but haven’t taken the plunge yet because I get red/scar easily and worry that I will be red for years after Ht, also it is a very tough process to go through. But man your results are exactly what I’d want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to ask me your questions via direct message, but you should take the jump my brother (if you're on fin) Concerning people around you, I just told everybody I wad going to have a HT. A few annoyed me a bit but a lot of other people were not surprised and other knew I would do it one day or the other. Hiding it would be very difficult especially for 3-4 months. Also it was hard with woman, I basically didn't date between march and august (it gave me time to focus more on gym and sports thought) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pretty active dating life and just recently started hanging out with one girl pretty regularly. HT is scheduled for Nov 8th so I guess I'll either just tell her or ghost, because can't really make a 3-4 month excuse!

Senior Member GoliGoliGoli Posted September 21, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) I'm actually considering asking my Dr to leave the hair on top so I can use hair fibers sooner afterwards. I'll just be getting corners of the hairline filled in and crown done so I don't think it would be too big of an issue. Probably won't but will get his opinion on it day of surgery nonetheless.

She was cute, but I knew pretty early on it was going to be more like a 5-6 month excuse, so no point in even bothering. Continued chatting with some chicks on "Hinge" right after surgery as if things were normal, but then deleted it. 6 months in and I still haven't started an account back. Honestly, the break from dating was way less hard than the general break from normal life. Also, things are looking good man. I bet things will thicken up a bit more in the coming months too.
