AR-

Yep, completely normal at this point post-HT. Kind of tough to loose those little guys but they'll come back. Ingrown hairs are actually a good thing because they're a sign of growth.

Thanks for the update..........happy growin'!

hey whats up!
good to know its normal specially all the ingrown hair, i havent been taking anything to get my hair to grow faster just take proscar, what should i take? Dr. told me to use rogaine, in mexico its called regaine but i guess its the same ill buy that what else should i use? oh another question when could i cut my hair? can i shave it or should i just cut it? thanx for replying you guys

The only thing I know of that may speed up hair growth is MSM(Methyl-sulfonyl-methane).....you can buy a 60 day supply at Walmart for around $7. I've been taking 3000 mg per day since HT #2. It does not help your new grafts sprout any earlier, but does speed up hair growth when they are growing along with your non-HT hair.

Proscar (finasteride), which inhibits the DHT that attacks MPB susceptible hair, will hopefully help you hang on the the hair you have and may help you regrow some. Rogaine is a topical solution.........they kind of do the same thing from a different approach. If you're going to use either, it's a lifelong commitment because anything kept or gained because of them will fall out if you stop using them. Do some searching on the site for either, there's a wealth of information.

You're far enough along in the process at this point you can cut your hair, shave it.....whatever you want. You may want to mind the donor area to try and keep enough to cover the scar. Some have used dermmatch (a concealer) to aid in covering it due to shock loss or until hair is long enough to cover.

I put a hot/warm moist/wet washcloth on my ingrown hairs, which really seemed to work. Have you tried that? As far as the hair growing in much faster, I would suggest not looking at it for a few weeks. Before you know it, it is growing in. Like I said before, this is the hard part. Just go out and do something and not think about it.

hey thanx for all the info you guys
i actually went with Dr. Keene too, and she told the same thing to about hot/warm moist/wet washcloth on my ingrown hairs and it has worked great, oh good thing i can cut my hair now or shave it, about the scar showing its ok i really dont mind, i was reading about the rogaine part in the sheets Dr. keene gave me and yeah saw the whole three months only, ill try to get that MSM hairbank says , as soon as i have to go to the states, hopefully next weekend, actually the first month and a week has gone really fast! i think the waiting for my surgery to save up the money and all that was what took forever in my situation, since i got it its been going fast, wich is really nice!
thanx for all your replys i very much appreciate it.

Hey Action,

Thanks for the update. The scar should start filling in for you soon and you should just be starting to experience some growth in the upcoming months...................should start getting very interesting. I'll bet you can't wait!!

hey hairbank!
yeah im pretty excited now, i was able to kinda completely forget bout looking evyday at my hair for the past month so when i saw all those little thin hairs in the mirror i did get excited i showed my sis and she was amazed too, cant wait to see how it will look in month 3. oh by the way i did find rogaine in mexico its called regaine but its the same stuff.

Hi action,

That's definitely new hair based on your week 5 pics... congratulations! I think these guys will stick around for a while.

At week 4, I'm starting to shed my 2500 w/Keene now. I'm glad to see your progress in that we're only a month apart. Sure is tough at first isn't it?

hey actionradar
thanx for update

good luck with growing!!

hey maki and midiman! how are ya!?! thanx for the commments very much appreciated, yeah all three of us are very close with are surgerys and with the same doctor, pretty cool! yeah hjope to see some new hair growing for month 3, the rogaine stuff is kinda gross, today i touched it and its like greasy but i dont mind , i just thought it would be more like water not greasy. people freak out with my scar lol

why you dont grow your hair longer in the back? that should hide your scar.
and yeah rogaine is very hard to use,i dont like using that!

Action Radar,

Do you have any updated pics yet ?

If I am not mistaken Dr. Sharon Keene work for Hasson and Wong right ?

How many grafts did u transplant.

Dr. Keene has her own practice in Tucson Arizona. She does not work for H&W. She had a working relationship with the Shapiro group at one time.

Hey whats up everyone!
yes gregporche Dr. Keene has her own office in tucson arizona, so thats where i had my surgery well today is my 3 month mark! check it out, Dr. Keene said im doing well and that the growing is very good and i should expect great improvement in the sixth month. Here are the updated pics just taken a few hours ago, tell me what you think you guys. Im scared of cutting the tranplanted place with the machine thing as i did the rest of my head hehehe.

Hi ActionRadar,

You are looking good. Are you taking Propecia? There will be a difference between 3 months and 6 months. Keep documenting. I just got back from Tucson. My 2nd with Dr. Keene. I increased the density. Only 1600.

hey BodhiZepher
yes ive been taking propecia for about two years now. so how did your second procedure go buddy?
