Paulo Costa, is this typical for sweaty/oily hair after a HT?

[Savemyhairline]

So anyone here who follows MMA probably knows who Paulo Costa is and that he had a HT a couple years back. I think he got somewhere around 4k grafts. Honesty his hair looks very good when he’s not sweaty, I think the general consensus is he had a good HT. 

 

he’s a diffuse thinner, very possibly accelerated by “secret juice”.

 

But when he fights, starts sweating, the hair looks pretty rough:

 

is this typical even for a good HT, or can an elite doctor overcome even this with graft placement? Usually when people post results, they don’t post in such rough conditions. Many who get a HT go to the gym though and sweat, so this is a realistic scenario for some.

Maybe he lost more hair, maybe the hairtransplant was not that succesful, maybe he uses toppik off the ring, maybe these pictures are not that good. Who knows.

I saw his fight last week. It comes down to hair dry vs. wet. When he fights and gets sweaty hair is wet and shows more scalp.

He posts pics to his Instagram where. He’s training and his hair looks quite thin, but also posts pics where it looks thick. So it’s possible he uses toppik. I was more just curious if this is the typical thing a HT patient sees.

Yeah. Always fun to watch him fight, I saw it as well. Robert Whittaker’s hair looked pretty perfect, as he naturally has thick hair and no MPB. Would you say the majority of HT patients have a similar look when wet like that?

I would say 100% of HT patients with diffuse hair loss will look like that when wet.

His hair does, in my opinion, look good when dry. He could probably do another operation in his midscalp/crown if he wanted but his hairline and frontal third is good, when dry. He also has a pretty good skin to hair contrast, not as good as someone darker skinned with that hair but still quite good. Seems like dermatch would help him during fights

I would opt for SMP. Dermmatch may smear, and that would be super embarrassing during a fight. SMP with a short buzz cut would probably be the best option when he fights.

Good point. Guys like him with relatively dark skin and dark hair are perfect candidates for smp.
