Hi SPat88, ill try to answer them in order lol
As you can see i just shaved mine off, was one of the most stressful experiences because ive never done that but once it was done it wasnt that bad, but if you was wanting to cover it the temples where the transplant happened it wouldnt be difficult at all, to be honest the graphs fall out between 2-4 weeks (you always think you might be a lucky one for instant regrowth but you never are), so to be honest after 4 weeks you will probably be back to square one with how you used to wear your hair.
After 3 months ill say i got minimal regrowth, about 20% but about months 4-5 is when i got some serious regrowth.
For a full hairline i would say for me was about 5 months, but Hair Dr said my results where very fast, might be noting that not everyone grows the way i did but i could be wrong, id say by month 4-5 you will be amazed.
Donor area was grown over after 1-2 months, you couldnt see it.
I keep my back and sides very short, if you look at my most recent photos i have a high skin fade, so i dont think shortness is an issue at all.
Thanks for the kind words.
