This month I cut all my hair EXCEPT the transplanted grafts. Good news is I did not see my scar at all. Bad news is I'm horrible at cutting hair so it looked kind of goofy long in front and short everywhere else. Also my transplanted hair is much darker than my other graying hair. Its not a great look with 2 different colors. Once I'm out of my ultra cautious period (LOL that may last 12 months) I will use some just for men to make it all one color. I took the pictures this morning with my hair not really having any style to it but oh well. icon_smile.gif

Thanks for the kind words guys. One day I will go to a real barber and get a real hair cut so it has some style. I'm hoping for more growth and more thickening in the next 6 months but so far so good as I always say. icon_smile.gif

Nary a hint of hairloss.

want- you look great and the difference is very clear from last month, even though you said you couldn't see a difference.

 

I think you can move on from being so careful. It is your hair now and it is not going anywhere. Get yourself a proffessional cut and enjoy the thick head of hair you have...and more growing and thickening to come!!

 

I am super jealous!

Your hair is insane! I can't believe how thick and full it looks in the one shot where it's up and swept back. Forget Steve Martin, get a chin implant and you could double as Jey Leno w/that poofy hair; actually you've got more hair than him too!

 

how does it feel to go from a balded man, to looking like you belong in the inner circles of some masculine, testosterone driven Latino club? Bull fighting, or maryache music holds in the future perhaps? Glute implants a la Beverly Hills for the former & BHT for a long sweeping 'stache a la umar for the latter. Free tickets to the bull fighting would be a nice consolation

for the advise.

LOL you know me...I'm super cautious. Maybe get a real hair cut by the 8th month. icon_smile.gif

I will let you know if I get there. I'm not there yet but I'm definitely feeling better about my hair. Thanks for the nice comments. icon_smile.gif

Wantego,

 

Wow! The difference in your appearance is HUGE! Its only been 6 months and you look like you never experienced any hair loss to begin with. I'm blown away by your results and can only hope that my 6 month results are close to yours in terms of thickness, fullness and coverage. And theres more thickening to come....very inspiring.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. They make me feel good. I'm happy with my progress so far but I do not think my hair is as thick as the pictures may make it appear. Please keep in mind I'm not complaining at all. I just want to be upfront and honest. It does makes me feel pretty good that I do not have to wear a hat anymore. icon_smile.gif

Come out my way and I will buy you a beer and cut that thick head of hair (now that I have a little more practice icon_biggrin.gif)! No one is going to recognize you...

 

LOL Eman. Are you winter hairing now? icon_smile.gif

If anyone is interested I posted some new pics today. I'm at 6 months and 3 weeks today.

 

I used just for men to take out some gray on my non transplanted hair. I also parted my hair more in the middle like when I was a kid instead of to the side. I need a real hair cut and style, lol. icon_smile.gif

 

My 2 concerns right now are:

 

1. 2 dime size spots developing in my crown area

 

2. I may have jinxed myself by saying I have a lot more hair than my younger cousin in some pictures. I always worry about bad karma. icon_smile.gif

Wantego,

 

I would say your results look fantastic!

 

It must be nice to have your face framed once again. Looks good!

 

1. As for the crown.. are you thinking of another HT?

 

2. I think you are safe to make a few jokes and not have to work about karma lol

 

Cheers

Thanks Buba!!! icon_smile.gif

 

1. I'm not thinking of anything else at this time. The 2 spots are pretty small in my crown and I'm hoping they will be covered when my hair grows longer. I think more work for such small areas could be counter productive. Maybe I will do something years from now but for now I'm just going to let my hair grow. icon_smile.gif

 

2. I'm very paranoid about jinxing myself or getting bad karma. It wasnt even a joke. More like an excited comparison. I didnt used to be this way as a kid. I dont know when it started, lol. icon_smile.gif

I see your results and it makes me feel like the hairline design I got is utter fail.

 

I tried to get the doctor to incorporate some of those elements, he even drew some temple closure, but didnt actually plant any grafts in it.

 

Just goes to show what 100% yield, good hairline design, and good characteristics will achieve. I spent 15K for what is essentially a combover.

Mochi thanks for the kind words. icon_smile.gif

 

The Emperor I appreciate your comments as well. I think sometimes we are our own worse critics. Do you have pictures posted? I'm hoping your look is better than what you may think. icon_smile.gif

Want- just got back to a computer and saw your update. WOW!!!

 

Like TheKMan said and I think I said earlier, no cutting or your own hair, no barber...A stylist.

 

Is your hair getting too thick? Those dime size spots you see are from staring at the mirror too long wondering how your hair got so thick.

 

Looking good and as always, jealous!
