Regular Member Ccd99 Posted August 15 Regular Member Share Posted August 15 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.

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member NARMAK Posted August 15 Senior Member Share Posted August 15 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. 3 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

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.

Regular Member Bhumik Shah MD Posted August 15 Regular Member Share Posted August 15 (edited) 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.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted August 16 Moderators Share Posted August 16 It looks terrible. It' a straight line wall of hair that's too low.

Regular Member dizzydap Posted August 16 Regular Member Share Posted August 16 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.

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.

Regular Member Sunset Dune Posted August 17 Regular Member Share Posted August 17 (edited) 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.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted August 17 Valued Contributor Share Posted August 17 Unfortunately the hairline attracts the eye directly because it's too straight and far too low.

Senior Member general-etwan Posted August 18 Senior Member Share Posted August 18 (edited) 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. Edited August 18 by general-etwan Instagram: ethanlculver Eugenix (Drs.
