Senior Member Bushy Posted November 20, 2006 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 20, 2006 I just uploaded my 6-month pics to my blog. Not much different from month 5, except that the hairline continues to soften. The density on the top part is still not where I expect it will be months from now. At this point I don't plan any updates for another 2 or 3 months, because the differential will probably not be that great. Please let me know what you think. Your feedback will be appreciated (good or bad). ____________________________________ My blog.

Bill - Seemiller Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Bushy, I'm not sure if it's the lighting or not...but I DO see a nice difference from your 5 mo post op pics to your 6 mo post op pics! The crown is filling in nicely dude! But there is definately more to come as you know. I can only hope I'll be close to "Bushy" when I'm done growing Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member John_in_NC Posted December 6, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted December 6, 2006 Bushy, looks like you're set as far the hair goes...and you still have more growth ahead. Congrats. I would say that 30-50 grafts (FUE) as a small widows peak would make it even better. Ever thought of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Bushy! All I can say is WOW dude. THat's a GREAT head of hair! If I end up with that much hair, I wouldn't need to get another HT ever! I think the hairline looks great with and without the flash dude...no worries.

Salt'n'peppa: I don't know whay, but for some reason the weblog order is screwed up. When I go to edit it all looks well, but in the actual log it is out of order.

Senior Member NervousNelly Posted December 7, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted December 7, 2006 If you want to spend more money you could do the widows peak, but there is no need as I honestly believe that you have transformed yourself and it is perfect!

Senior Member Salt-N-Peppa Posted December 7, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted December 7, 2006 Thanks Bushy, I was trying to get a feel for where you were pre HT and where you are now. Then ,apply that to how I might end up. I am so anxious to get my second HT I can't even describe adequately.

Senior Member Bushy Posted December 19, 2006 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 19, 2006 I was going to wait a few months to post more pics, but I really didn't expect so much improvement between months 6 and 7. So I decided to take some shots this morning, 7 months and 4 days out. I have thickened up substantially in the last month, as several of you predicted. Now I'm really beginning to get even more excited about retiring my Dermmatch and Toppik! My blog is now updated with the new pics. I'm eager to hear your reactions. Here are some of the fun ones. I took one shot at my window (basically an outdoor pic) in sunlight. And a few in the shower! ____________________________________ My blog.

Bill - Seemiller Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 OMG...can your hair BE any more thick? I can't believe you are only 7 months bro. Any thicker and you are going to have a major AFRO on your hands! LOL. Good for you brother! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Bushy Posted January 20, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 20, 2007 OK, guys. I've updated my blog with HT #2 Month-8 pics. The only real difference over the last month is that the top has thickened up slightly. My new hair (middle third, top) is shorter than the frontal hair (by about 5 months' worth of growth) so there is an overall imbalance for now. I'm attaching some pics below. What do you think? ____________________________________ My blog.

Bill - Seemiller Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hey Bushy, Thanks for the update bro. You are looking great at 8 months! It's amazing though, how lighting and angle means everything in terms of appearance of fullness. The last picture makes your hair look much lighter and a bit thinner than some of your other photos. If you don't mind my asking...under what lighting conditions did you take that picture? Either way bro...everything looks great. How are you feeling about your results at this point?

Senior Member irish homer Posted January 20, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted January 20, 2007 Bushy, I could'nt remember if i had seen all your pictures so i went back thru all of them (i had seen them just a bad memory, gettin old ) Glad i refreshed my memory, what a differance from start to finish you must be over the moon it looks fantastic.

The last picture makes your hair look much lighter and a bit thinner than some of your other photos. If you don't mind my asking...under what lighting conditions did you take that picture? Hey, Bill. As I wrote on my blog, I took that picture right under 4 60-watt bulbs in my bathroom. It clearly exaggerates things, because that's not the color of my hair (it's much darker). I took that pic to show as blatantly as I could the top of my head, no-holds-barred. If you look at some guys posting their pics, they post one frontal picture in dark lighting, and people come out saying "wow" and "amazing." Well, if folks want to be that gullible, go ahead, but I'm not going to pull that one. My goal is not to make Dr. Hasson look like a god but to show the honest results of my surgery. The fact that Dr. H. may turn out to be a god is coincidental. ____________________________________ My blog.

IH Thanks, Irish. The memories are bad ones for me as well, thankfully! The bald and HP days are mere bad memories. It's a new life for me. How far out are you? BTW, if I may make a suggestion: If your signature had the date of your surgeries it would be easier to figure it out. The same goes for Bill. ____________________________________ My blog.

Senior Member Salt-N-Peppa Posted January 22, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2007 Thanks for all the updates on your progress, it is very helpful. Congrats on a fabulous transformation too. Your photo under the bathroom vanity light exposes a concern that I have on this forum. Namely, sometimes my photos look too good compared with reality. I try to give a proper illustration of my hair growth with harsh lighting but I may be limited by being photographer and subject too. Like you, I have tried to show top views and wet hair that seems to really show the least flattering views. Having said all that, I am estatic to have hair where once I was bare. I can only dream of ending where you are now WRT hair growth. There is only a handful of people on this forum that I regularily track their growth, and you and your extensive blog is one. Thanks, congrats and cheers .

Bill - Seemiller Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Bushy, LOL....thanks for the clarification. Like I said, even in the worst lighting, the results still look damn good. but it also helps keep people in reality...so they don't think that NO light can get in Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
