      On a positive note, that photo is good and I can see hairs starting to grow through quite a few of those light brown extraction points, can you see the same? Looks encouraging and it's only day 4!

            Yeah, I'm getting a bit worried about the length of the hair now too. When would be safe to shave the donor area?

              I wouldn't shave it with a blade if that's what your asking. I just used a trimmer or scissors to cut the hair around the area I was documenting.

              I did this on day 5 with one of those beard trimmers, no harm can be done now.

                I'll maybe shave it to a grade 1 (number 1) with clippers on Monday mornng.

                Here are my Day 5 Donor pics:


                Day 5 - Saturday - Donor - Back of Head (Just Under Scar):







                Day 5 - Saturday - Donor - Left Side of Head:







                Day 5 - Saturday - Donor - Right Side of Head





                I can definitely see the hairs growing through. It's unbelievable.

                My recipient is looking good now too...

                A few grafts came out in the shower when I was conditioning my hair to get rid of the crusts. I was really gentle but I guess it's unavoidable for the grafts to fall out... Quite upsetting at the time but I just keep telling myself that they will grow back... They will won't they? haha

                  to get rid of the crusts.
                  After 5 days?
                  I don't think that you still could see real implanted "grafts".
                  HAIRS - sure. But whole "grafts" (hairs with some tissue on them)?
                  I can't imagine that this is still possible - not after 5 days.

                  Oh, next time try to make a good close-up photo of these "grafts",
                  because you already mutated to a damn good photographer!

                  ... seems I have to catch up.

                    There was defintely skin on these hairs, am I healing slower than normal?

                    It was hair from the crusts that came off...

                    Horrible feeling seeing hairs coming out.

                        Hi Gaz

                        Are you having any luck in documenting my regrowth or are my photos not good enough?

                        I noticed on my camera this morning that I had the quality set to "fine" so I've changed it to "super fine", I'm in work just now but will put up more pics tonight.

                          hi mate, I'll have a go later this evening I think your last couple of pics have been fairly decent, so we should be able to see some regrowth.

                            Cheers mate, was getting a little concerned that my pics weren't usable. Hopefully now that I've set my camera to "superfine" quality, they'll be easier to make out regrowth.

                            When you had your procedure did many of the new hairs come out in the shower when you were trying to soften the scabs with conditioner? I must have noticed atleast 20 this monring.

                            Also did you find that the minox was leaving like a layer on your scalp?

                            Cheers

                              Your photos are not bad at all c5000 but it's a little harder to count the individual hairs compared to gc83uk and Iron_Man. If you look at Iron_Man's photos, for example, they are zoomed in to a smaller area and it's much easier to count the individual hairs and observe the extraction sites.

                              If you could possibly try to replicate IM's photos, then it would be mush easier to preform an analysis. With the pictures you have provided, we can get a general idea but an exact count would be difficult. Maybe others will be able to do it though.

                                I've spent about 30 mins looking at both photos, but the hair is just too long on the day 5 pic, so until you can clip it down then it's going to be almost impossible.
