I have just added to my album at the link below. I am now 1 year post-op from HT#1, and 4 months post-op from HT#2. Looks like things are starting to thicken up. Looking forward to the next 6 months.

Looking good man, do you always comb your hair fwd like that? I found that combing it back works better for me but I suppose it depends on your own hair characteristics!

no i hate the current look - I am growing it out now. I've been keeping it buzzed to 3/4" to 1" for about 6 months, but it's time to let it grow. this time next month it should be long enough to comb back or to the side with some kind of style. By Christmas I'm hoping to have a new look altogether. the new look will include HAIR for a change.

I am with you guys, I am extremely tired of the combed forward look. I have had it for about 6 years now, ever since my temporal recession became so noticeable that combing it back would only show off my huge forehead to the world. I am in the process of training my hair back also. It is about an inch or so long and it is tough to train since it has been years, but i find that a small dallop of pomade helps to get it going in the right direction and then I wear my ballcap on top so it stays put.

You are thickening up nicely, hugh. The next six months will be quite a ride for you, I am sure. I am definitely looking forward to Christmas (6 months) myself.

it's kind of at an awkward stage right now whereby it is too long to be considered a buzz now (just over an inch) but too short to do a whole lot with. I'm just kind of pushing it to the side a little, still slightly forward. I can't wait to be able to towel dry, run some gel through it, and hand-style my hair, then not give it a second thought the rest of the day. It's been so long I don't remember what that's like. Will I ever be able to get there?

Hugh,

You are coming along nicely. I look forward to seeing your pics around Christmas time!

Hugh,

What an incredible difference in coverage from your first photo to the most current one! The scar looks very thin and in good shape. It looks like very nice work and I too can hardly wait to see your pics down the road! Congrats!

thanks guys, for the encouragement and interest in my case. At this point it seems each week my hair is thicker and thicker. I bussed the sides and back down with a #4 but left the top untouched, so it has a bit of style to it. I am getting a lot of second glances and several of my balding brethren have made comments. I love it - it's like a little inside joke. When I walk thru a store and happen upon a mirror, I don't mind looking at myself. I used to avoid mirrors in public places b/c the bright lights magnified the thinning hair. Now I take a second and even a third look, turn my head, look from all angles, and it actually looks GOOD! At 4.5 months I think the hair from the 2nd HT is just taking off, so I can't wait for what's to come. And I'll keep the posts and the pics coming. Since I haven't told anyone cept the wife (who doesn't really understand) it is nice to discuss the issues of hairloss and HT here with people who "get it"

Thanks buddy. Keep the pics coming.

hey guys - i've decided to buzz my hair shorter (#6) again b/c it is still not thick enough to style (yet). Plus as the new hairs start growing in at all different lengths it starts to get unruly. I remember this from HT#1. I snapped a pic of how it looks today at the current length, which is about 1.2 inches on top. The new hairs are coming in more in some places than others, which I guess is normal but a little weird. The right side of my hairline appears to be especially resistant. Over all I am very happy with the progress and still happy with my decision to go forward with the HT experience. It sickens me to think where I'd be if I had never taken the plunge.

On the pic I outlined approximately where the hairline was placed

Hugh,

Definitely real progress. You are very right about christmas. You will be one happy camper.

Lookin' Good! Looks like it's thickening up a bit.

I see the Wongman in 2 weeks, on 11/5. Guess I'll be in the chair about this time.

How long did your procedure take this time?

Well, I see you've already forgotten the drink you had with Jotronic and myself this "next day"
