Does Cbum HT look natural?

[FUEtile]

The density looks pretty good but something looks off to me

[Ccd99]

The hair line is not right, looks a bit too artificial. Not only do the angles look off but the design of the hairline itself is not masculine.

It’s not natural at all, I feel terrible for him. Dr. Ted Miln did a great video essentially laying out the reasons why it looks unnatural.

Ha! That's a delicate way of putting it.

Too low, too linear, too pluggy, angles look wrong. I've no idea who this guy is but I'm assuming this is a classic case of someone who has enough money to go somewhere outstanding but has somehow ended at a Turkish horror mill.

He’s a popular bodybuilder from Canada. It’s weird because some times his hair looks good when he brushes it down. But certain angles do look pluggy.

Brushing the hair down hides the hairline, which is where all the sins are evident, so that's probably why his hair looks passable like that.

It looks horrible.

[laverita]

Not natural...he is lucky he can still raise his eyebrows with this on his frontalis!

maybe you can reach out to him and convince him to get that repaired, its painful to look at

Chris Bumstead is basically a Mr Olympia royalty at this point and to see him end up at a hair mill with his level of fame amongst particularly impressionable young men is a pretty bad sign.

People already don't have a clue about hair transplants in general and what's probably more alarming is they will think this looks good. 

The hairline is way too straight in the placement of the grafts and obvious without the regularity even a perfect natural hairline would have. On top of that it lowers down on the closing temporal areas to the temple points to boot.

The density also looks mismatched in the first picture when natural light hits it but I can't know how long it has been since he had it done.

Him, Greg Doucette and a few other bigger names ALL went to Turkish hair mills.

I actually even saw Brett Maverick recently have a video where he got a buzz cut style fade and under certain lighting you could fully tell he had FUE scars. It's honestly like people are deliberately ignorant to the realities of a hair transplant and the clear trade offs you have to where you started off with hair loss compared to if you never ever had any.

I don’t want to hurt his feelings. He seems happy, I guess this is subjective. If it looks good to him, who am I to tell him differently. But I do believe it’s important to highlight Dr. Milns video. He was attacked quite unfairly in that video. But it had to be said.

I was talking to one of my bodybuilder friend about this a few weeks ago. It looks bad, but the worse is yet to come. If he continues to lose hair, that hairline will look even more unnatural.

It looks terrible. It' a straight line wall of hair that's too low. How many of these do people have to see before they stop believing Turkey is the best place for a hair transplant.

 

[dizzydap]

I feel like regular people doesnt care/see that its unnatural. He has hair and possibly can get future surgeries done. I think here we become sensitive to the hairlines that we forgot sometimes we only see something. Most people assume his hair naturally like that.

That will be a disaster I think he’s in his late 20s early 30s too, I hope he’s on dutasteride.

I remember this guy from my initial research days and just checked out the update. I'm skeptical he's happier buzzing down with a thick low hairline (he even calls it mature) and FUE scars, but he's invested in it now. Not the best influence over impressionable young men, sending them off in droves to Turkey when the mildest hair loss hits them

[Sunset Dune]

It’s really sad to see this guy is basically disfigured for life unless he gets a “repair” job. What’s more disappointing is he’s based in Canada and could have easily gone to one of the world’s best hair transplant clinics, I’m sure he had the money for it.

Unfortunately the hairline attracts the eye directly because it's too straight and far too low. It's not irreparable though. However if he's happy then good for him. 👌

[Melvin- Admin]

This area here looks very bad. Angles look straight up and there’s definitely multiples. Its not irreparable. But I don’t know if it bothers him.

Do you think Chris bumstead will have aggressive loss in the future?

Its very possible, he’s still young and he’s on powerful androgens that will accelerate hair loss. The only hope is he’s on dutasteride.

Yea man I agree I don't think he realizes his hair transplant looks bad lol btw I messaged you

[Sunset Dune]

Any pictures of his crown loss before and after?

[Fidenz]

Noooo. His hairline was scared of his eyebrows and ran off, now is much better.

[general-etwan]

It’s very bad. Just way too low and flat of a hairline and not all singles on hairline. Right when he had it done, I said oh my gosh. Oh no. Many of my friends who are into fitness and bodybuilding who are also suffering from hair loss at a young age follow him closely and were liking his posts about the HT, and I tried to respectfully let as many as possible know that this is not an example of a good or appropriate hair transplant and that if they ever wanted help with getting a transplant to talk to me and not follow cbum to NHT lol.

Just because someone famous is really excellent in one field doesn’t mean they are at all intelligent when it comes to anything else. It appears to me that cbum knew absolutely nothing about what a proper HT entails, and he may have just done this as more of a fun thing rather than a serious project of hair restoration. Who knows. Now Hair Time probably did it for free or even paid him for the endorsement, but I can’t believe that hairline they gave him. It will never look natural or appropriate, and with his career activities, he’s very likely to continue losing hair midscalp to crown and that’s going to be a big problem then. I almost commented on the Instagram posts and called out NHT for doing such a terrible job on him but I’ve heard they sometimes block critics and I’d rather be able to still see their page so I thought better. But wow, I just can’t believe they gave him such an inappropriate hairline. You would think they would do a higher quality job on such a huge public figure. I just don’t get it. Artistic design culture must be in the dark there.
