Still shaving it right down to a 0.5mm every couple of days with the Wahl Balding Clippers and when at that length, combined with the SMP, it looks like a solid, full-head-of-hair buzz cut. It does feel like things are thickening up too though which is a relief because I had a moment last month where I felt quite unsatisfied with where I was with it. In the pictures attached, I haven’t shaved my head for about 4 days and you can really see how bald my crown is still and the graduation between the SMP and the transplanted area at the front. I 100 per cent will go for a 2nd to fill in the mid-to back area after the 1yr mark is up.

Could you post better quality photos of the hairline I’m seriously considering doing fue and smp for a buzzed look. Also has this helped your confidence ?

I’m still shaving it right down every couple of days because I definitely need a 2nd transplant if I’m going to attempt to wear it a little longer. When shaved right down and blended with my SMP, it really does look solid and that I’ve got a tight buzz cut. With a couple of days growth though, it doesn’t look so great... The pictures attached are from not shaving it for about 6 days and I’m desperate to get the clippers on it again!

Bro it looks great! I a actually did mine about 2 weeks after you (25th July) and I’m going to list something towards the end of this month. You won’t know if you’ll need another one for sure until about 9 months. 3 more months jar a little patience and keep praising your scalp and hair. It will grow more. Yours looks great. Mines look similar but it’s still slower growing than the hair around it. So with that I do continue to cut it often. Good luck bro!

Hey just curious what have people thought about that look. I’m considering doing 3000 fue over about 3/4 of my head and getting some light amp done for a like number 1 to .5 buzz cut

People seem to think that I've just got a solid buzz cut mate

Not a lot to report really - I’m still buzzing it right down every 3 days and not letting it grow so I can’t make a full assessment BUT I’m delighted with how it looks as it is - I went to a Christmas party and saw a whole load of people who I hadn’t seen since the year before and it was amazing how many people were telling me how well I’m looking hahahah. No one could put their finger on why though! I will continue to keep it at this length until I get a second FUE done at the back/mid scalp as at the moment I look good with a buzz cut and the last thing I want is to look like a guy with a bald crown trying to cling on to what he has left at the front. Still 100 per cent happy that I had this done.

Awww man I'd be growing it by now!! Aren't you just a touch curious about how it will look? You could always use a root concealer spray to darken the crown area, that's what I did for 3 years and no one could tell.

Was really interesting to read your review! I'm glad my review helped. I can definitely relate to being bald and on tinder, not a fun experience lol.

You should definitely let it grow out a bit just to see what it looks like.

Looks good though buddy. I wish you all the best.
