Why didn't they address the middle of your hairline? Did they think it might cause too much shock-loss, like at your donor?

 

[Stublue]

Hi ziggs, yeah I think there was an element of it potentially causing shock loss but I think it was just missed to be honest. It was my main area of concern but I didn't even really spot that it wasnt addressed till I got back home from Brussels and at that stage it was too late. It is an area that still needs addressing for sure but the new hairline does make it easy to hide. I am meeting the doc in London in Nov for a check-up and I have been told they will address any problem areas, such as the centre forelock so that's all good.

Hi Stu

Massive positive changes for you. If I had not been following your case I would not have been aware of the thin forelock, it looks like you have grown out really well.

I can recommend a styling gel that makes the hairline look good. Fudge firm hold putty, you can get it on Amazon. Styling my hair again was great, go for it.

Looks like you are one of the latest of the late growers. Hang in there.

Okay guys, so its time for my 8 month update. As you can probably see from the photos i have had another pretty good month. The hairline continues to thicken and the right side has seen some improvement, particularly in the last 2 weeks or so. I still feel it is a little weak (you can see its a bit weak in pic 4) but i know its only month 8 so i'm hopeful for more improvement over the next couple of months. As long as it continues to improve i'm happy. So all in all, I am happy with the progress, especially the last 2 months. As you can see from my thread, i am definitely a slow grower and I had some pretty bad shock loss in the donor area, so the journey has not been easy. But the benefits are worth it and my confidence has improved a lot. Not that i really lacked confidence mind you but I always worried about my hair. I actually had my first real compliments about my hair in the last 2 weeks. Firstly my father (who doesnt know about the HT, nobody does!) said he liked my new haircut, which is very rare as he nearly always complains that it's too short!! And then my mate asked me if I had done something different to my hair. I just told him I got it cut and he said it looked great. Weird but great to hear. Also, maybe its just me, but i have noticed a few people looking at my hair but not saying anything. It probably is just my mind playing tricks on me. Ha!!I'm actually meeting Dr. Bisanga and his rep Steve in London on Nov 2nd for a consultation and analysis of my progress. The aftercare has been very good and I have been told that they will address any problem areas like the area behind the forelock, which remains my main concern. Again, as i said in my earlier posts, its fairly easy to hide that area with the new hairline (pic 1) but it can look a little strange if my hair is wet or i haven't combed my hair (pic 4). So it is an area that definitely needs to be addressed.Anyway, feel free to make any comments or ask any questions. Cheers.

The weak forelock is still a concern. Easy to hide mind you.

Hi stublue, your hair is coming along nicely, how you finding keratene retard

 

[Stublue]

Hi rbaggio,
It's pretty difficult to tell what effect Keratene is having as my loss has always been very slow. As far as I can tell, my hair loss certainly hasn't got worse so I reckon it is helping to a degree. I only take the 1 capsule but you can take 2. I haven't suffered any sides so that's all good. I'll continue to keep a close eye.
Cheers.

 

[robbo]

Hi stublue

Thanks for the quick reply, ok I might give keratene retard a try, ur hair is coming along nicely aswel

 

[janna]

For an FUE case, you look to be right on target. You have 4-6 more months of more growth. Grafts tend to grow in unevenly.

 

[Stublue]

Thanks for the comments guys. And Janna its great to hear from someone in the industry that im on target.

 

[Bigmac]

Your growth looks good to me at 8 months, as Janna says one side can grow slower than the other and should even out in the coming months.

Thanks for the update.

Cheers Bm.

Hey all, time for the 9 month update. The growth this month was probably not strong as month 7 and 8 but that's to be expected I suppose because they were whopper months! Having said that the hairline continues to get better and thicken up so I am a happy chap.I actually met up with Dr. Bisanga and Steve the rep in London around 2 weeks ago and they were happy with my progress, especially considering how bad I had it at the beginning. The doc is happy that I have no gaps anywhere but the right side is lagging behind the left but he said that is quite common. I actually think the right side has improved noticeably in the last week so that's only good! On the shock loss, he actually said I had one of the worst cases of shock loss he had ever seen and that I was as slow a grower as it comes. Typical, but all worth it! But anyway, they said that I look good in person (better than the photos) and that I need to give the hair at least another 4 or 5 months or so to see the final result as I have only really had around 4 months of growth (as i was such a slow grower). The doc reckons my centre forelock needs around 200 or 300 grafts which he will sort out next summer as well as any other issues I may have. And thankfully it will be a small job and won't require shaving the recipient area, which I was worried about. I also raised the possibility of strengthening my temple points (hair greed) but I will wait and see on that as Steve said it can be a risk. So all in all, I'm happy with the progress and am expecting more improvement over the coming months.Let me know your thoughts. Cheers.
