Hello! Have been lurking for a while looking other peoples journeys, advice etc which has been incredibly insightful and helpful.
I just wanted to get some advice from people far more experienced in this area than I am. I have been receding for a number of years but my hair has been kept fairly on long on top and shaven on the back/sides which really covered it. However, over the last number of years I've noticed a difference in growth between the front, middle and crown. This year I decided to shave it entirely to see how I would look bald (not so good) and then assess how it grew back.
As expected I have really receded on the sides but can clearly see that the hair isn't fully growing in the middle of the head which is creating a small island. There is still hair growing here but it is much slower than any other area. The hair on the sides and back is fairly thick and bushy and parts on top are the same. However, my hairline has receded and there is no growth there anymore.
I am 32 years old with some baldness in my family tree. My dad is 69 and has thick, full hair, as does one of my grandparents who is 94. However, the other grandparent did go bald at a young age I believe. I haven't taken any medication or topical treatment to help combat my hair loss.
The photos I have attached are a couple weeks are part and were taken around two months after shaving my hair entirely. I am blonde so my hair is naturally very light but as it grows it gets darker (The first four were took together and the second four together about 10 days apart).
I have had numerous consultations with different clinics in Europe who have given great advice, pricing, number of grafts etc but was just looking some impartial advice to see if it aligned with my thoughts but also the information I have received back. I am completely open to honest feedback as want to get this right first time. The number of grafts required as varied per consultation which is the bit that has concerned me the most so far.
Thanks for reading and if I missed any vital information or need more pictures, just let me know and I will respond back.
Any feedback or advice would be so greatly appreciated.
