Day 162

March 1, 2005

Still recovering from the Amsterdam trip!

Haven't really done anything to my hair since getting back - no gel, no nothing so this is how it looks completely natural (a mess :) )

Still haven't gone back to using the Lasercomb yet - might re-start the 3 times a week tomorrow.

Day 163

March 2, 2005

Using a new camera now for the shots which is great although the flash is very strong and makes my hair look a little bit thinner than it actually is.

Off to get my hair cut and highlighted again Friday - this MSM is amazing for making your hair grow fast!

Day 164

March 3, 2005

Used the lasercomb this evening - using it every night for 4 nights which will be me all caught up - hope I can keep it up!

Decided to take some photos of my hair slicked back - impressive considering this has been impossible for over 10 years!

Day 165

March 4, 2005

Had my hair cut and thanks to a fantastic stylist - Stuart at Envy (Wellington), I am getting closer and closer to the hairstyle I have always wanted. Cheers mate!

Used Lasercomb again so am really on my way to catching up!

Day 166

March 5, 2005

Used Lasercomb again today and now using my webcam to take the photos - very flattering.

Hair is looking great and the heavy highlights are making the top look thicker and more defined.

One very happy chappy here!

Day 167

March 6, 2005

Busy day with a long drive back up to Edinburgh.

Haven't bought the Lasercomb with me and I've forgotten all my tablets!! To be honest, a couple of days break will probably do me good, I'll restart both the tablets and the comb on Tuesday night.

Photos are taken from my portable webcam in my B&B room.

Day 168

March 7, 2005

Saw an old friend today who didn't recognised me with hair!!

Feeling fantastic about myself at the moment although away from home a lot and missing my family to bits.

Day 169

March 8, 2005

Another day and night away from home - this is getting very difficult!

Hair's great though and I haven't even noticed any difference coming off the tablets for a few days.

Looking forward to going home tomorrow seeing our dogs.

This trip has been good for me with my confidence still very high and my hair still looking fantastic.

Another huge thank you to the clinic. Hats off to you all...literally!

Day 170

March 9, 2005

Last day in Edinburgh and travelling back home this evening.

Will be going back on all the tablets when I get back.

I'll take a full Finasteride tablet tonight to catch up and maybe double up on the Saw Palmetto tomorrow.

Also worked out if I do the Lasercomb every day until Sunday, I'll be fully caught up as well.

Life is still good although very tired.

Day 171

March 10, 2005

Used Lasercomb today and back onto the tablets.

Have caught up with the missed medication and am now firmly back on track.

Hair is still great and still noticing more coming through ... will it never end ;) hehehe

Day 172

March 11, 2005

Back on the tablets proper now - bought MSM capsules from Holland and Barratt as they were less than half price.

Stocked up with 240 x 750mg tablets. At 4 a day these should last me 2 months.



Thought I'd do another comparison shot - these shots are exactly 173 days apart....AMAZING!!!

Day 173

March 12, 2005

Nice quiet, relaxed day, used the lasercomb and took it easy.

Hair still looking great and confidence still sky high!

Been asked a few times what my hair looks like close up - hence the picture :)

Day 174

March 13, 2005

Back up to Edinburgh for a few days.

All is well on the hair front and have even remembered to bring the Lasercomb and my tablets with me this time!

Day 175

March 14, 2005

Another great day in Edinburgh although starting to get homesick and missing all my boys again...awwwwwwwwwww.

Not much to report as life is very much normal with me with hair now, confident and not thinking about what's up top at all.

Day 176

March 15, 2005

Still in Edinburgh and still full of every confidence.

Hair is looking great and I've noticed more coming through on top.

The Fudge is amazing as it really thickens out what I have.

Day 177

March 16, 2005

Long, long trip home and'im very tired.

Hair lasted 10 hours of travelling and still looked great.

I've noticed a lot more people strike up conversations with me now - must be either the air of confidence or I'm getting interest :)

Day 178

March 17, 2005

Busy day and nothing much more to tell.

Back in England for a few days then off up north again.

Though I'd try and do a few close up shots to show the full extent of the growth.

Have a new Sony Erricson S700i phone/camera so the shots are much clearer.

Day 179

March 18, 2005

The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day.

Taken some shots outside to see how I look under the sun - not bad although I am going to chat to the surgeon to see about having my hairline lowered by about a centimetre and the top thickened a bit more.

Probably doesn't need doing and any average guy wouldn't bother having it done however, I am a real perfectionist hehehe

Day 180

March 19, 2005

Nice relaxing day in town to clear the hangover from hell hehehehe.

Hair's still there growing like there's no tomorrow....

Day 181

March 20, 2005

I can't believe 6 months have passed...just have a look at the development:

Day 182

March 21, 2005

Had a night on the tiles in Edinburgh - I can't believe how much I drank....Oooops!

All is great on top and I am so happy with the difference a head of hair has made to the way I look at life.

Day 183

March 22, 2005

Another very long trip back from Edinburgh.

Had a great chat to the surgeon and have asked if I can have another procedure in May (that'll be my 8 months)

I want my hairline lowered slightly, temples filled in and the top thickened up more....pure vanity!

Day 184

March 23, 2005

Haven't used the Lasercomb for sometime now and am debating whether or not to restart using it or just leave it - it's a really difficult decision and one I won't make lightly.

Day 185

March 24, 2005

Spent the day with my folks.

Hair's not looking as thick as usual - not sure if this is down to me stopping using the Lasercomb or not been so regular with my Te Tao shampoo.

It might also be down to me feeling a bit run down.

Hope it thickens up soon (I'm sure it will)

Day 186

March 25, 2005

Thinking of having a new style - because the hair is still quite thin, might start bringing it forward - plus the fact that when I have my second op, I'll need a fringe (of sorts) to cover up the lowered hairline for a few months whilst the newly transplanted hair grows.

Even thinking of removing the blond bits and going back to my natural colour (medium brown and grey :) )

Day 187

March 26, 2005

Great relaxing day.

Changed my hairstyle now and it really seems to be taking shape in preparation for my second procedure in May...can't wait!

Still taking all the tablets and still using the Fudge hair product but have completely stopped using the Lasercomb.

Day 188

March 27, 2005

A very slow and relaxing Sunday...nice!

May only be 7 weeks until my second procedure - waiting for the clinic to confirm the date then I'll be adding a countdown to the site.

All is great up above - trimmed my fringe to make it easier for my hair to come forward.

Day 189

March 28, 2005

I love Bank Holidays.

Do nothing but chill out and relax...

Day 190

March 29, 2005

Bought some brown hair dye today as I was told I would look better with my hair darker and without all the blond streaks.

Looks OK - back to my normal self I guess :)

Day 191

March 30, 2005

The hair is dark and and I'm using a little bit of DermMatch - looks fantastic, thick and very funky!

Second Op is booked for 5th May so I'm starting the countdown...I'm so excited and can't wait!

COUNTDOWN: 35 days

Day 192

March 31, 2005

Great day today - used no darkener on my hair and it still looked good.

I know the colour is too dark but it'll go lighter with frequent washes.

Still very confident and very excited about 34 days time :)

COUNTDOWN: 34 days
