FredtheBelgian's FUE - 2000 grafts with Dr. De Reys - 24 Years Old NW5 from DPA

Beauty man. Well it looks very good I have to say. If approach this the same way you did as I said, just want a more rounded appearance to the hairline than the spike that is currently there. Scarring has always been a concern of mine for the simple reason I would love to be able to just cut my hair how you have yours now. I can pull off shaved but don't like it as much as the overall buzz and it requires more maintenance (also for the beard too, of which I have an ample one, and can never quite get the desire to shave off daily).

With a do like yours I could happily just buzz with a 0 once a week and enjoy the maintenance carefree appearance. Also added benefit of that look is you never have to worry about any sort of activity you're doing or hat you're wearing to look good.

Well done sir. And thank you very much for such a good documentation of your Ht. It is so hard to find good images of people's donor area post HT.

You jam yourself with medications or just ride it out however nature planned, obviously Ht aside?

I just stick to 5% minoxidil. No finasteride or experimental drugs.

Good call. I think I'd probably do the same just a pain with the slightly longer hair. Nice and short and even the spray on application would be a breeze.

With my head shaved 5 months and a half after the FUE, I think 99% of people wouldn't be able to tell that I ever suffered from hair loss. I'll post a 6 months update in two weeks.

How short do you shave and how often?
Also how does it look under direct sunlight or under bright light?? are the transplanted buzzed hair visible under those conditions?

Thanks,

3 mm on top and 0,5 mm on the sides.

I shave every three weeks now, while prior to the FUE, I was forced to shave every week to look decent.

You can still see my hair under harsh light but anyone with a shaved head, even if he is NW1, will look almost bald under bright lights.

Looking good bro. I think going for the buzz cut is the best option for advanced cases since going for long hair will look so thin in most cases specially under lights.

Can you get away with 6mm+ ? or does it just look think and unnatural at that length ??


Thanks,

[fred970]

I can get away with more than 6 mm, even now with 35% of my final result. It still looks natural, but it's just less aesthetic than cutting it very short at the moment.

6 months update

Still improving. I think it's not bad since it's supposed to be only 40-50% of the final result.
