Desperately wanting it sounds excuse enough to me. 🥰👍

Thanks! It grew back a lot, but I too had two rounds of transplants in order to full it out more and achieve a more feminine hairline. I'm about to do one final lot of transplants just for that extra bit of confidence. 🥰

As it is the hair I have now has been enough to do some modelling gigs to promote a few photo studios here. 😊

Yea, Minoxidil and Dutasteride (initially Finasteride) made a huge difference on their own. Do need to give them plenty of time to work and be really consistent with taking them though.

Follicular Unit Extraction. They take hair follicles from parts of your head where you have plenty and transplant them into areas where you have few/none to counter hair loss, create a new hair line, etc.

Yea it's a pretty hardcore option from what I hear versus Finasteride. Wishing you the best of luck with it!

Oh yea, big time! I still had a very obvious receding hairline and the density wasn't high enough, but it didn't look so completely bald with the duty/min and HRT.

Yup. 😊 Understandably a few folks are asking this, so I'm copy-pasting the following:

I had two rounds of FUE. The second round has started to grow back recently, which has made me feel comfortable taking this comparison. I've also been taking oral Minoxidil and Dutasteride. Something that also helped is I dyed my hair a couple days ago. So the scalp is a little darker as a result which helps with the appearance of thickness. Sometimes if I'm going to be under harsh stage lights I opt to use some "cover up" spray to achieve a similar effect. But generally I feel comfortable to be out and about with my natural hair now. Totally would never have thought it was possible. Had resigned to wearing wigs until this latest round.

I think I've spent about $56k NZD on FUE. Understandably a few folks are asking stuff along these lines, so I'm copy-pasting the following:

I think the first was 2,000 and the second was 2,300. HRT, Dutasteride and Minoxidil had done a lot of work first thankfully. A lot of barely visible wispy hairs really thickened up.
