We got virtually the same procedure with the same number of grafts (except I had no beard grafts) so I am keeping an extra close eye on your progress. The hair seems to stand up in quite a 'wild' manner. Is it hard to tame and style? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I put RU in in the morning, Pyril in the afternoon, and minoxidil at night so there’s always some product in it making it shoot upward since I tend to rub that stuff in front to back. But after I get out of the shower, it lays much flatter. 1 Instagram: ethanlculver Eugenix (Drs.

That would be super interesting to see, and I also want to get an idea of what I can plan for when I'm 4.5 months in Edited February 9, 2023 by Xanadu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shedding in full force. Some hairs starting to burst through on the surface, I can feel them. Also, do not mind the blonde hair on the side...I bleached my non-transplanted hair for a Halloween costume. I do not advise anyone to do such things unless you really know what you're doing. But I would never touch the newly transplanted area. 😄 Hopefully come winter I will have some great progress to share. I have 5300 like you, and all the progress the first 3 weeks looks very very similar to yours. So..... this is what I have to look forward to in week 5 😰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MazAB Posted February 10, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2023 Right on track as far I can tell. You obviously won't have even growth this early on, but once the 2, 3 and 4 hair grafts start to fully bear fruit, it should thicken up in the mid region for you pretty well. Looking jacked up bro! Keep working on you and the hair will come!😎 Follow my Journey with Eugenix and Dr Arika Bansal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the growing is going very well. It's not much yet in the grand scheme of things but I am already extremely happy with the way things are looking. I no longer have a smooth head. 😂 PS: I don't care about my retrograde alopecia. Not a big deal. Hair on the top of the head is soooo much more important. I agree. By the way - was this the time when the redness went away? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks incredible for not even 5 months in man. I messaged you on Instagram about everything a few days ago, thanks for all your help and am looking forward to a similar journey myself.

Senior Member mrmane85 Posted February 14, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 14, 2023 That's looking really good, especially for just 4.5 months. Have you felt your confidence shift over this last month or so now that things are starting to take shape? Can you share some pictures with toppik in to see how this looks? I think you'd already be able to pull off a full head of hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Xanadu Posted February 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 16, 2023 On 1/11/2023 at 2:02 AM, Melvin- Moderator said: Hmm, maybe I should film a tutorial. I think you went up too high. You should stop right here. Once the crown is grown out a bit you could blend into #2. Keep the bottom a zero middle a #1. I wouldn’t recommend going so short, because you have to blend the demarcation line so it fades gradually into where its thicker. Here’s how I did it. The bottom portion was very thin. But blended it wasn’t as visible. This was years ago before I had any grafts placed in my crown. When I get to that stage in a couple of months and if I need it, then I'll come for that tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t tried any additional tools (like fibers) yet. Just want to see the fully natural growth continue to come in and will consider those things in a few months if needed. I’m not familiar with strongholding. A normal tug on the transplanted hair doesn’t pull it out, no. Instagram: ethanlculver Eugenix (Drs.

Already very happy with the look. I’ve gone without a hat a few times now for the first time in many years because I feel fairly close to fully-haired men again. So refreshing. 1 Instagram: ethanlculver Eugenix (Drs. Das/Somesh/Vinita) | 11,102 grafts | NW 6/7 | 28 yrs old | 2022/2023/2024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you feel now? Super good! Really feel the growth and thickening kicking in now. Can’t even explain how renewed it feels. My hair looked like such garbage for the past several years that I just buzzed the back and sides and went many weeks in between and let the hair on my neck grow wild cuz I didn’t care/lazy. I plan on going in to a barber next week for a trim up/fade just a bit around the back and sides. Willing to pay a few bucks a week again to look sharper. Instagram: ethanlculver Eugenix (Drs.
