Senior Member Bandit90 Posted July 26 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 26 (edited) Quick update. Had a couple of people DM me, so apologies for not updating this month, I've been super tied up with work & family commitments. I've provided some photos of the hairline and temples. I'm pleased with how it is coming on for five months post-op, given the soft nature of these hairs, they do take often while to establish. Also pleased with the widows peak starting to make an appearance. But I'll give a much better update in a few weeks for the six-month update, with pictures of the crown area. Thanks all.

Regular Member Fox243 Posted July 27 Regular Member Share Posted July 27 Honestly, I don't get how this is possible. Did Bandit have an amazing donor, small head, or any characteristics that lead him to basically the best reversal I've seen in my life? The donor doesn't even look overharvested, which it can look for people with half the results Bandit had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did mention in OP that Sethi thought his donor was "brilliant". I think blonde donors can look worse than they actually are. Guess I'm wrong about head size, but he didn't strike me as someone with a big head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you take into consideration that my hair is very fine & straight, and the area isn't the largest, i'd probably say its average donor at best. Id say my most favourable characteristic is my low scalp/hair contrast, it like the equivalent of having SMP, so really helps illusion of density. i'm also inclined to agree that my head shape played a positive role. I say this because on my second sitting I had around 2500 grafts in the crown area which generally did the job. I see a lot of cases on here where the crown takes 4000+ grafts and still doesn't touch the sides. I'd describe my head as Dolicephalic which is 'long headed', which in its nature would allow a lesser amount of grafts to achieve full coverage compared to the reverse Brachycephalic shape.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 31 Administrators Share Posted July 31 The subtle nuance of the widows peak is a master class on hairline recreation.

I was apprehensive on adding more grafts to an already great hairline, but this is honestly one of your best decisions. Yes. I am usually in favor of adding a small widows peak. I think on most people it adds a bit of naturalness to it. It breaks up the straight line of hair across the head look.

Senior Member Bandit90 Posted August 6 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 6 (edited) On 8/4/2024 at 6:58 PM, Melvin- Admin said: Norwood reaper has been slayed! Cheers Melvin! Probably worth pointing out that the shot in direct sunlight with the hair combed forward, is by far the harshest condition for any transplant to be under. With styling and in virtually any another setting, it always looks significantly better (i.e you don't see any scalp!)! But equally it is owed to the forum members to show how the transplant will differ depending on conditions. That said I am much more comfortable going outdoors without needing to style, as the density has really improved, since I had 2k grafts sprinkled across my scalp on the third sitting in Feb. Now that I am able to comfortably walk out the house without feeling the need to style the hair. But more importantly not feel self-conscious about not styling, It very much feels a case of mission accomplished for me. Any improvements that may come hereafter I guess are just a bonus!
