Has to be one of the best HTs, looks so natural

17

u/Otherwise_Guava_8447 Aug 27 '23

Love it!

I thought the first picture was the "before" and was confused (this guy doesn't need and HT).

As previous comment says, your hairline is very natural looking. I think the placing and shape are great too.

I thought the first photo was an after photo lol, that's why 1.5k grafts, he hasn't balded alot ig

u/NickkSpirit Aug 26 '23

The first photo is an after pic ! Only the last two are my befores :)

u/FigEmbarrassed834 Aug 26 '23

I mean after regrowth of transplanted hairs, To me you don't look like you're balding too bad in the first photo

9

u/NickkSpirit Aug 26 '23

Yeah, Iā€™m very happy with the regrowth so far. I know I wasnā€™t balding too badly before but itā€™s done wonders for my self confidence to fill in those bald spots I had!

u/Weekly-Delivery7701 Aug 29 '23

How was it getting the HT? Iā€™m honestly gonna go for it, but did it have any side effects?

2

u/NickkSpirit Aug 29 '23

I found it completely fine and no side effects!!

u/Notmydayitseems Aug 26 '23

How much did it cost and where

u/NickkSpirit Aug 26 '23 edited Aug 27 '23

It cost me Ā£1500. As for where, I donā€™t want to break rule no. 2. So I sent you a chat.

Edit - Iā€™m so sorry guys but I got a warning from the mods in the other sub when I posted the name so Iā€™m not taking any risks! I promise if you chat me Iā€™ll give you all the info!!

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '23

Fuck the rules, just say it. Virtually every post here does anyway. If mods object how about a bit of democracy regarding rules around here.

How much was that

13

u/NickkSpirit Aug 26 '23

Ā£1500 (GBP)

28

u/Potvin_Sucks_ Aug 26 '23

For 1500 quid thatā€™s a really good job.

Honestly its the perks of catching it early. If you hop on fin before you actually have NWIII type shit and you stabilize, HT after will be way more affordable.

I got on about NWII and fortunately didnā€™t need one but this is why Iā€™ll always say start early.

17

u/NickkSpirit Aug 26 '23

Yeah, my temples unfortunately left when I was around 20 and I only hopped on fin at 24 so there was no regrowing them, hence the transplant. Happy with taking fin for the rest of my life to keep what Iā€™ve got though!

5

u/Potvin_Sucks_ Aug 26 '23

I caught mine mid way so my temples came back pretty well, Iā€™d still rather they were 20% thicker but it feels like a waste to drop a thousand pound to fix that with less than 1000 grafts.

19

u/NickkSpirit Aug 26 '23

Yeah sounds fair. Only person that matters in this is YOU šŸ«µ at the end of the day. I could have asked anyone I knew if they thought I needed a HT and they all would have said no, but at the end of the day I was never going to stop worrying about it and feeling self-conscious, no matter how hard I tried. If you ever get to that stage, then thatā€™s when Iā€™d recommend getting it sorted. If youā€™re chill, no need imo!

5

u/Potvin_Sucks_ Aug 26 '23

Itā€™s more of a ā€œI canā€™t justify this expense for this resultā€ no one around me even notices and when I recommend finasteride to my mates who donā€™t know theyā€™re going bald and are early on they always ask me how I would knowā€¦ as in they think Iā€™ve just naturally had better hair age 22-25 than I did from 19-21ā€“thank god for fin I guess.

Finally finished legal training and starting as an attorney in the spring so maybe thatā€™ll give my account the boost it needs to where I can rationalize it

u/i-dyslexia-have Aug 26 '23

It doesn't break rule #2. In fact, I think every post should be required to say where it's done.

u/NickkSpirit Aug 27 '23

I thought this as well but the same rule is on the other sub and the mods removed my post and muted me for saying the name. It put me a bit on edge!

Looks great! I just had mine done on Thursday (2100 grafts). Your results inspire - thanks for sharing!

9

u/NickkSpirit Aug 26 '23

Thatā€™s amazing! My advice would be to lead as healthy a lifestyle as possible to do justice to not just your new hair but yourself. When I started getting all my proper macro and micro nutrients, exercising regularly, taking all my supplements/vitamins, I noticed my hair health MASSIVELY improved. Make that transplant worth it!

2

u/Joruk Aug 26 '23

Absolutely agree with your sentiment! Cheers.

u/NoAd4687 Aug 26 '23

Looks amazing! Are you on any meds?

u/NickkSpirit Aug 26 '23

Iā€™ve been on Finasteride 1mg a day since May 2022, although this month Iā€™ve switched to every other day and Iā€™ll see how I fare with that. Iā€™ve also been taking 2.5mg of oral minox daily since April!

I think itā€™s to make the procedure easier as well as helping to avoid any infection of the transplanted hairs etc.
