the foam sounds interesting... many thanks for the info and tips...
also, nthmainneighbor just put together another video with some of my pre-buzzed down 5th HT footeage showing video footeage under different/various lighting sources:
just uploaded some close to 4 weeks post-op picts. I've shed a lot of grafts numerous times (fallout/break off, regrow, shed, etc). I'm sure some are still lingering around - no shock so far. Hopefully the next time I see them growing it will be for good. anyways, below are the picts...
Dr. Cole exactly - come on let's go go HairCycle shampoo! grow! grow! grow! if I wash my hair with HairCycle shampoo 20 times a day will it grow faster? yes the dreaded waiting period has begun... this is definitely the hardest part...
It's kinda funny how you get to this stage where the new grafts shed and you go back to how you previously were (or a little worse from surgery stress/post-op regime) and it's like "where did all my hair go?"... the couple/few weeks post-op really distorts your previous self-image but it makes it even more exciting when everything starts growing and comes back around...
ok, I got a little bold this week and gelled and spiked my hair, tossed my hat in the closet and said the heck with it... I've never worn my hair this short without a hat from fear of having anyone see my strip scars let alone gelled it and spiked it straight up and gone out in public... hopefully no one will see the scars or know to look for them other than us HT freaks... it's only the sides and back sides that I'm a little paranoid about - the direct back has been filled in nicely. hopefully the newly planted grafts in these areas will yeild and provide more visual breakeage in the future. I'm a couple days shy of 5 weeks post-op... anyways, you can view the picts in my gallery below.
Wasssssup
I have to admit, I like your 5 -10 weeks post-op photos.
First because you look a little thinner and it makes me feel that i have more hair LOL
Second, because it is so exiting to see these pictures and then compare with your 5-12 months pictures...it adds to the WOW effect!
You have been my model and inspiration...best hair transplant results out there with no doubt.

ForHair - yeah, yeah, yeah... rub it in the gel even makes it look even thinner... but give me some time and hopefully I'll be able to wip out some new styles and buy a new brush or two speaking of which, I found a new site with lots of cool styles: http://haircutsformen.org
as always thanks for the kind words and support. your quite the inspiration for lots of people as well. thanks for all you do and sharing your experiences online. keep it growin - keep it stylin
just uploaded some 6 weeks post-op picts. hair has finally started to grow out some - still not really styleable but maybe in another few weeks. hair does seem a little stressed from surgery as well.
Keep it growing...
Your scar from the strip sessions is already invisible and covered nicely with the FIT's...
Keep update!

I think there is a some early growth. that would be a good thing. you might see styling improvment at 6 months if this is the case. usually, it takes a minimum of 8 months and often up to 12 months before you see improvement from a second or subsequent procedure. also, the improvment is not as much with third and fourth procedures as it is with first and second proceudres. the benefits are more diluted with subsequent procedures. for instance with a first procedure starting with no hair you are 100% better with 100 grafts. if you do a second procedure with 100 grafts you now have 200 grafts, but you are only 50% better. with a third procedure of 100 grafts you now have 300, but you are only 33% better.
i hope you had a nice trip back from San Diego. It was a quick turn around for everyone including myself. We enjoied seeing you and i feel confident that everyone was impressed with your results including the FIT to your strip scar.
