I think in the document it does say the hair will grow in anomalous directions but when the time comes, ‘month 4’ you should start brushing it with the brush they gave you to get it in order. I don’t know about doubles in the hairline but there are some for me I suspect in the second or third row which I’m not sure is correct or incorrect but if it is, I’ll point it out and get it fixed but so far it’s quite hard to tell Hey congrats very nice progress.. did they give you a brush or do they recommended one?

Senior Member Diff-thinner Posted July 26 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 26 (edited) Hi @CharlesBarkleythank you so much, yeah it’s a big change already and not even half way, apparently real growth is a 6 months but gotta keep fingers crossed because I don’t want to get too excited but I’m humbly optimistic. Just really happy about the forehead proportions to the rest of my face now Edited July 26 by Diff-thinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairyelswhere Posted July 26 Regular Member Share Posted July 26 Killing it mate looking fantastic. The photos are a bit distant are you able to take closer ones. Also with the medication is it also improving your non transplanted hair. It is looking really thick before your hair looked like it was thinning on the top but now looks really dense all round what do you put this down to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure thing, will take closer ones for you on the next update, tbh, I was worried about the thickness as I still shed a little bit day to day, but just using the oral minox and topical fin and the PRP, but my hair was always thick, and maybe even thinner, im not sure what i put it down to, but one of the things would be the reinforcement that Dr Couto did between the existing hair in the front third starting to pay dividends 6 hours ago, Steeeve said: Holy smokes, bro, that is dramatic for 4 months!

Senior Member Diff-thinner Posted Thursday at 09:48 AM Author Senior Member Share Posted Thursday at 09:48 AM *MONTH 5 UPDATE* Hello again guys, sorry this months update is a little late, life's just gotten in the way a little and business has been hectic. Here are the photos, but there are a few things im worried about at this stage. No.1 I dont know if my density for month 5 going into month 6 is correct or normal, the hairs are still a little whispy and dont have a shape to them yet. Im not sure if this is normal, mostly because in the forum ive been focused on the initial stages and the final stages of peoples posts rather than the mid months, so feed back from others would be so valued. No.2 This is the big worry, If you see in some of the pictures at the hair line, some white dots and bumps have appeared in the front two rows of hairs that were never there before, Im really worried this is cobblestoning which is something i specifically was afraid of, and was one of the reasons I went to couto in the first place, Im hoping it isnt and that there is a fix, dermatologically, but if anyone with experience in these things could help, I would greatly appreciate it. Ive included pictures of my hair completely wet, whilst washing it to show more, then ive brushed down the new hairs and finally the last few pictures are of my hair damp and not completely dry. Please let me know thoughts on the above and i hope you have some good news for me on points one and two. Have a great day ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted Thursday at 11:19 AM Moderators Share Posted Thursday at 11:19 AM 1. Hair starts off thin. Months 7 through 12 you should see a lot of thickening and maturing and it will blend in better with the hair behind it. 2. Minor cobblestoning is normal and will flatten out over time. Give it a full 12 months to heal and then see how it looks. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a paid forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Senior Member Diff-thinner Posted Thursday at 11:21 AM Author Senior Member Share Posted Thursday at 11:21 AM @Al - Moderator thanks al, so this is normal thickness for month 5-6 ? second I’m a little worried about the cobble stoning, but like you’re saying does something this minor go away and is there something I can do for it to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairyelswhere Posted Thursday at 02:08 PM Regular Member Share Posted Thursday at 02:08 PM I think it looks very natural and so far so good. A little more thickness and density is always a good thing. Regarding the cobble stone look I have more of this than you. I also sometimes have temporary little white spots just below the hairline like on the forehead. I did email Dr about it but do not really remember if he gave me explanation but it might have been that they will flatten out over time. I thought it was to do the supplements and hairloss medication as I also have it below the hairline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Diff-thinner Posted Thursday at 02:11 PM Author Senior Member Share Posted Thursday at 02:11 PM Hey dude, yeah I’m about to send them an email also, thank you for the support, just starting to get worried about density because it’s almost 6 months and the cobble stoning which for me will be unacceptable going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the grafts are large or they have excess skin one might get a cobblestone appearance. With the smaller size of todays punches used to harvest the grafts ie 0.8 or 0.9 mm, the cobblestone appearance is a non-issue. What was the punch size used in your case? I guess your hair shafts are thicker hence there is some issue. Generally fine single hair is used on hairline frontal zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
