that is a very nice result.
can i ask.
is it possible to use the limited donor over the smp? for a more 3d look ? at least spare fues around?
or not?

TYTR,
Glad you like it and thank you. FUE could be used to sprinkle more hairs on top but at this point it's not really needed. He's happy with the result and to see it in person is really quite impressive. I know it stands up to scrutiny because this client has been on television since his sessions with us and in front of dozens of photographers as well.

Joetronic, I hate to keep bugging you with questions as I'm sure you are busy living your life and picking up chicks with your awesome hair haha...
but I have 2 questions...
1. If a person has major diffuse thinning and get's smp...how short does the hair need to be cut for it to blend well? like what guard?
2. If a patient has blond hair, could different shades of smp be used to make the hair look darker when shaved? because I think people with dark hair look better shaved with that black shadow as opposed to someone with a light color hair shaved....

Fear,

You're not bugging me. I'm happy to answer your questions. I'm not picking up chicks, my wife keeps c*ckblocking me, lol!
I think that in general a 1 guard or no guard is best but it depends on the areas that are treated. If the entire area is diffused then one can get away with a longer look and the SMP will be of benefit.
For example, we have one patient that had cancer and he was going through lots of chemotherapy. All of his hair fell out and he was clean bald, front to back and on both sides. He's in much better shape now and his hair has been growing back like crazy. When all of his hair fell out we did several passes with SMP all over his scalp to help alleviate the appearance of his condition but the SMP is now acting as nice undercover for the hair that is growing out. His hair length is about a #2 or #3 guard all over and he's got a pretty good concealer type effect going on. It is better than I would have suspected and it wasn't even on our radar when we did the work to begin with.
2. If a patient has blond hair, could different shades of smp be used to make the hair look darker when shaved? because I think people with dark hair look better shaved with that black shadow as opposed to someone with a light color hair shaved....
To an extent, yes. Sometimes blonder hair is actually darker at the base where it exits the scalp. We have varying shades that go as light as "dirty blonde" but the degree of shading or how dark we go depends on how short you want to go and if your hair is truly blonde at the base. I hope that makes sense.

Yes, it definitely makes sense! thank you for your time and knowledge! and sorry to hear about that c*ckblocking haha, but at least she cares.
