Yeah @Kevboy I can’t stop looking in the mirror at it. The other week I got a little worried as my native hair is growing quite fast which is making the new hair sections look thinner but once cut today you can clearly see the new hair is growing in nicely

That`s good to hear your barber has given it his seal of approval. I`ll look forward to seeing your new hair cut pictures.

Here are my 20 weeks/5 month post HT photos. I took these this morning before taking my son to football, so sorry for the tired look lol. I took some after just having a shower, so pre styled and then some photos styled with a VO5 product in. As you can see I’ve got a few thinner patches but I can feel the hairs growing there, it feels like a toothbrush so hopefully these will all start filling in nicely. Also my left temple is thickening up faster than my right but again I can feel the (toothbrush feeling) hairs growing. Hopefully everything looks ok and showing growth is about right for 5 months post HT

Looking very nice at 5 months. If you stuck some hair fibers in there you'd have an instant full head of hair.
All the thinner areas should catch up eventually and even out.
Styling your hair must feel good.
Hope the footy match was good.
Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the reassurance Bigmac, yes styling my hair is exciting I haven’t felt that confident in doing my hair since I was 20

The feel good factor should boost your health and mind with the positive effect your new hair is having. You're doing a great job documenting your journey as well. This will help many who are researching.

You look younger and healthier already... A great confidence boost as Bm says. It will keep on getting better from here on in... Are people starting to notice you`ve got more hair?

Thanks for the compliments and reassurance about it getting even better. Hopefully that middle bit will fill in soon as I’m a little bit paranoid about that part of my hair. People have commented about my hair style wise but I think that’s because they know something is different but just think I’ve styled it differently which obviously shows it looks natural but has also made a difference to my appearance.

Happy new year everyone!!! Today marks 6 months since I had my HT with The Hair Dr (Dr Arshad) and like usual I got my son to take some photos with a bathroom light directly above. I also took some photos myself once styled. What are peoples thoughts? Does everything look on track for 6 months

Thanks Alex!!!! Yes I’m very happy with how it’s looking for 6 months. From info on this forum I’ve got about another 40-50% growth left to go as well as the hairs maturing, as they are still a little thin and wirery. I normally have a hair cut before I take my pictures but damn lockdown here in the UK has put a stop to that at the moment!!

Amazing, you should have an excellent head of head when it's finished then! How did you find it looked up to month 3/4? (Ugly phase) was it obvious you had a HT?

Mines in a couple weeks ...getting nervous

I wore a hat most of the time in the early months when out seeing people which wasn’t very much as lockdown stopped any meeting up with friends. The (ugly phase) as you put it isn’t much fun you have just got to hang in there and think about the end result. I was nervous leading up to my HT but trust me Dr Arshad and his team will make you feel very comfortable and treat you like a king.

It looks decent so far. I think you will experience quite a bit of growth from now on which will increase the density all over.
Your donor looks in excellent condition.
Thanks for the update and all the best to you for 2021.

Thanks Bigmac. Yes I’m hoping that it starts to get more dense from now on so know more growth is imminent is very reassuring

Quite often people see little growth one month, then a huge spurge the following month and then back to little growth the month after that.
