Planning around 3500 grafts and I usually keep the sides pretty short. A couple clinics said the donor will look fine even with a fade, others said you should leave it a bit longer so the extraction pattern does not show. Is it realistic to keep a short cut on the sides after …

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 …

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’…

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…

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…

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…

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 …

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?

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…

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-…
Find a clinic, then talk with people who are considering the same procedure.
