Oral minoxidil 2.5mg for 4 months after years of foam. Front is better, crown still sucks.

Used the foam for like 2 years. Stopped and started it again a couple times. Never really stuck with it because it made my hair look greasy. Started 2.5mg oral about 4 months ago. Shedding got worse for the first 6-7 weeks then calmed down. Hairline has some new growth that wasn’…

How do you actually verify that the doctor is doing the extractions, not just the techs?

A lot of clinics say the doctor is involved but it’s rarely clear what that actually means. Some places have the doctor design the hairline and open the channels while the technicians do all the punching. Others claim the doctor does the extractions too. When you’re comparing …

Did anyone else feel like their hair looked worse than before for months after? When did it actually start looking better?

Had the procedure about 3.5 months ago on the front and temples. I knew about shock loss but lately when I look in the mirror it feels thinner than before I even went. The area looks sparse and some of the native hair around it seems like it shed too.  Trying not to stress but…

Finally just buzzed it all off after years of trying to hide it. Anyone else do this?

Been thinking about this for a while. Started noticing the thinning on top around 27-28 and I'm 33 now. Tried the usual things for a few years, minox here and there, different styles to cover, those fiber products when I had something coming up. Got sick of constantly checking th…

12 month FUE results, New York hair transplant, he paid $17k

Day 10 post-op and the scabs still won’t come off. Is that normal?

Had FUE, 3400 grafts. Today is day 10. Most of the scabs have come off, but there’s one patch near the hairline that just won’t budge. I’ve been washing the way the clinic told me, foam first, then a gentle rinse. Should I be worried, or is this normal and I should just keep wait…

Minoxidil foam twice a day for 8 months. Temples improved, crown still thin. Worth adding something else?

Been on 5% minoxidil foam twice daily for about 8 months. The temples filled in a bit and the shedding slowed down after the first couple of months. Crown is still noticeably thinner under direct light. Not on any DHT blocker yet. Is it worth adding a low dose of finasteride, or …

FUE or DHI for a hairline? Everyone tells me something different

Ok so I've been going down the rabbit hole for about two weeks now and I'm more confused than when I started lol. I'm 29, Norwood 3ish, on fin for a little over a year. Want to fix the hairline and temples. I asked on a couple of other sites, called two clinics, even asked a g…

Should I start finasteride for a receding hairline?

Thinking about starting finasteride and I keep talking myself out of it. Temples have been creeping back for a couple years, crown looks worse in bathroom light than it does outside. Not ready for a transplant. Did it actually hold your hair, or did you quit because of sides?

How long until I can go back to work without everyone knowing?

Booked my transplant for the second week of November and I'm now stressing about the boring practical stuff instead of the surgery itself.I work in an open-plan office, client calls on camera pretty much daily, and I really don't want my coworkers to know. Not because I'm ashamed…

Simon Nackborn’s first 4 months after a hair transplant

oldschool · b/questions · 16 days ago

How do you estimate grafts yourself before clinic quotes?

Norwood 4, I think. Temples are gone, crown is thin under bathroom light but not fully bald. I sent the same photos to six clinics. Quotes came back 3200, 4500, 5000, 3800, and one said 2500 for now. Is there a simple way to check these numbers, or do I have to wait for an in-…
