Regular Member beegee84 Posted December 7, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 7, 2023 Just trying to experiment with how short I can have it on the donar area, I'm finding number 1 looks bad but as it grows in you can't tell at all. Still kind've hoping the donar area improves which it can as I'm less than 5 months in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Jupiter_ Posted December 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 7, 2023 The growth is very good for month 4. Donor will get improved till the 12 month.

Keep us updated ! 🙂 Yea I'm thinking for month 4 I'm ahead of what's normal. 2 1/2 months was worst point then I saw a radical change during month 3 where the colour started coming through. Its growing at all different speeds at the moment and I'm still seeing new hairs Sprouting each day. At 6 months I'd like shave it all off to let it all grow back at a more consistent rate but I'm in 2 minds at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member beegee84 Posted December 28, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 28, 2023 Month 5 not nearly as drastic a change as month 3 and 4. In natural cloudy lighting it looks okay harsh lighting from above not yet. We can see different rates that it started to grow in different areas my front left (your right) it's came through really strong really early, immediately behind seems to be the most patchy area. After doing lots of research the back for absolutely everyone comes through later than the front. Front right (your left) some hairs only just started coming through in the last week so it'll lag behind but this is still perhaps better than average for month 5. I'm just hoping this isn't it if I'm early, because some areas haven't come through much for it to be the end product. At the moment it looks like the balding but not yet there look where I had the op. Obviously at the back it looks unnatural because it hasn't been done....... yet!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ak10 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Nice results mate, really looking forward to your progress. Considering that i just had my surgery with Dr.Yaman and i am more or less the same case as you, could you please let me know if you used any finasteride or minoxidil and by what time? Would be really helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member beegee84 Posted May 13 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 13 I'm going to do an update for this soon. After 5 months my obsessive focus on the hair shifted from my hair to an achilles Injury that kept me isolated and off work for most of the last 6 months. I took Finasteride at the start to try and help it come through with minoxidil once most the hairs had started. But I stopped as I felt it was unnecessary for the stage of norwood I was up too "what hair was I protecting". Side effects for Finasteride I think weren't worth it for what it provides on a norwood 6. Psychological effects that made it impossible to feel dopinmine. Made me completely flat, it took roughly 1 1/2 months to get mentally back to normal again after stopping Finasteride. I haven't taken any new photos yet but will soon I'll be at 10 months on 25/5. My result for first part looks like a good result. I haven't booked operation 2 yet as I only got back to work this week. Hopefully Operation 2 will happen around September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member beegee84 Posted May 17 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 17 9 months 3 weeks straight after a hair cut. I took it to a zero from the areas in front of the donar areas then asked then to take it to a 2 with a fade where the donar area starts. When OP 2 happens I think I could go for a Mullet because they don't take hair from that zone. At the moment I think a number 2 is best for the donar area 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
