Day 134

February 1, 2005

Well, the updated version of the site has gone live.

Also well on target for 1,000,000 hits a year so I'm really happy the site is doing so well after only 4 months.

Back to the hair, starting to use less and less product and liking the natural look. Also using much less DermMatch now as the hair is really starting to thicken up.

Day 135

February 2, 2005

I'd ordered some Saw Palmetto 350mg which arrived today. It does similar to Finasteride as it lowers the DHT levels in the body. After my research, I've decided to take it once a day for 2 months.

Day 136

February 3, 2005

Forget to use the Lasercomb yesterday so am using it tonight - very relaxing after a long day at work in London.

More people noticed my hair today and how it had grown "I hardly recognised you" absolutely made my day!

Day 137

February 4, 2005

It's FRIDAY!!!! How the days fly by!

Using Lasercomb tonight and that'll be my 3 sessions done this week. All looking good on top and hair starting to noticably grow.

Have the haircut booked for 10 days time so am really staring to get excited about the new look Andy - i just hope my hair's long enough to do something different with.

Day 138

February 5, 2005

Went to Holland and Barratt today to pick up some different Saw Palmetto after chatting to a collegue online. The saw Palmetto you need is...

Also been reading up on Aloe Vera and it's cleansing properties so have started taking one a day.

Day 139

February 6, 2005

Was told today that my hair was quite thick on top - comments like that just make me feel better and better!

Have bought my hair appointment earlier by a few days - really looking foward to Tuesday 1pm when I have my first proper haircut in 13 years!

Going for this style but a much shorter version.

Day 140

February 7, 2005

After a very long day away from home, just got time to put up a couple of photos (post bath) and hit the sack.

Couldn't do the Lasercomb so will be playing catch up tomorrow.

It's haircut day tomorrow!!!

Day 141

February 8, 2005

It's new hairstyle day!

Used Lasercomb for 1/2 hour this evening as got carried away watching a film on the box :)

New hairstyle is brilliant - wish I knew how to style it but already having comments on how it makes me look younger....LIFE IS GREAT!!

Day 142

February 9, 2005

Used Lasercomb this evening - caught up as done 2 sessions this week now.

Hair very noticable - even the people in the Chinese take-away said "Mr Hunt, you gel your hair. It look nice."

Ordered some "Fudge" hair product today online as was recommended to use it by a colleague. Should be here tomorrow so looking foward to using it.

Now not using any darkener whatsoever which is great as I can play with my hair all day without worrying about dirty fingers!

Day 143

February 10, 2005

Using Fugde on my hair now and it's an amazing product.

Had a work's do on the night and had many many compliments on my new look.

I am now so confident - yes, my hair is still thin on top, but thanks to a fantastic cut, colour and good product, it looks amazing.

How things have changed from 4 months ago!

Day 144

February 11, 2005

It's Friday again, end of a long week.

Hair still good and product really suiting the new style.

Folks going to see the new me tomorrow so a little bit apprehensive - hope they like the look.

Day 145

February 12, 2005

Spent the day with my folks (showing off my new hairstyle).

All going well although realised hadn't done 3 sessions on the Lasercomb so playing catch-up tomorrow.

Day 146

February 13, 2005

Just a plain old ordinary Sunday in snowy Shropshire.

Forgot the Lasercomb so will have to do 4 sessions next week.

Hair great although piccies are completely unstyled and unproducted.

Not much else to report although starting to think seriously about having another op in June to lower my hairline and thicken up what's on top...pure vanity!

Day 147

February 14, 2005

I'm really starting to notice my hair growing on top - using Lasercomb tonight as part of my 3-a-week schedule.

Only 10 days until my holiday...I wonder what style I'll have by then :)

Day 148

February 15, 2005

Had a great day - working from home now which is superb, getting so much done.

Used Lasercomb again (by mistake) as I got the days wrong - at least I've done 2 sessions already this week and for the first time ever, I am ahead of myself!

Day 149

February 16, 2005

Photos came through of my photoshoot - although I didn't exactly look like a model, they're not bad.

The new hairstyle didn't really come through on them but it's amazing that only 5 months ago I was completely bald on top!

Day 150

February 17, 2005

Another normal day but getting ever closer to the weekend!

Hair OK, noticing a lot more hair around my front hairline now - perhaps it's because it's longer but there's definately growth there...fingers crossed.

Day 151

February 18, 2005

It's Friday...all is well and the week is over.

Off to the pub so giving the Lasercomb a miss until tomorrow...hic!

Feeling so confident now my hair is taking shape.

Pictures are of me early Saturday morning (slight hangover hence the messy look)

Day 152

February 19, 2005

Did an ultra long session with the Lasercomb today - around 45 minutes whilst watch TV and reading my book - very nice yet a little scalp warming!

Still noticing new growth which is surprising although I am only at 5 months, I thought I would have been done with new hair coming through - Good news :)

Day 153

February 20, 2005

There you go...5 months and amazing results.

Probably around 70% of the growth has now happened although I keep finding new hairs.

Off to Edinburgh for a couple of days tomorrow so will be walking around the City with my head held high.

Day 154

February 21, 2005

Having a great time in Edinburgh on business with my confidence flying high...

Hair is fantastic - it is growing so fast and I'm loving the new style.

The only thing I wish is it was a little bit thicker on top but I have got a few months growth still to go and the option of another transplant in June which I'll probably go for.

All in all, life is great!

Day 155

February 22, 2005

Flew back from Edinburgh.

Feeling great although realised I've missed the Lasercomb over the last 2 days - need to catch up and maybe take the comb with me to Amsterdam (Thursday)

All is great up top and I cannot stress how grateful I am to the surgeon for giving me this much confidence.

Day 156

February 23, 2005

Last day at work today - an emotional day :(

Thought I'd cheer myself up by doing another comparison shot....WOW!

Day 157

February 24, 2005

Flew to Amsterdam today to have a few days rest.

My journals for the next 4 days will be brief as I have very limited resources over here to keep it up to date.

Only one thing to report though, I've forgotten my Lasercomb so won't be using it for a week....Ooops!

Day 158

February 25, 2005

Relaxing and chilling in Amsterdam still. Life is good!

Day 159

February 26, 2005

Still here drinking far too much but having a whale of a time!

Day 160

February 27, 2005

A very slow Sunday watching the world go buy - last day night here so preparing to leave Amsterdam with a bang!

Hair's great!

Day 161

February 28, 2005

Missed our flight but managed to get on a later one. Absolutely shattered and glad to back to normality.

Good news is that any side-effects I was feeling because of the Finasteride have now disappeared...could be due to the Saw Palmetto or simply down to my body now being used to the new drug.

Life is really back to normal (although still very tired as per the photo!)
