Possibly some from when your treatment was originally completed to how it looks now. We'd love to see how it's held up.</p> <p>If you don't know how to crop your face out/resize, I would PM Damien and I'm sure he'd be more than happy to assist. :)</p> <p>Welcome back! </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/norwood-7no-hair-clients#post-15559 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:55:09 +0000 HiTopFade 15559@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>CP,</p> <p>I think just the exact opposite in regards to which Norwood level MHT is best suited.</p> <p>Men who're less than a NW4 and get MHT outside of their natural hairline make themselves slaves to a razor/shaver. They are used to using clippers one or twice a week. Most men who are NW5 and higher seem to shave a lot more often, so they're used to being a slave to the razor/upkeep of MHT.</p> <p>I've seen a couple of NW1-3 guys on this very forum whine about "shaving everyday" when it was very clear they should have never gotten MHT to "lower" their hairline if they didn't want to shave everyday.</p> <p>I also think the real gems of HIS are the guys who are NW5 or higher who are able to achieve the shadow look, and not the guys who are NW3 who have their thinning hair "filled in." </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/wow-1#post-15558 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:54:56 +0000 caesar1 15558@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>Oh right  :) well im 42 and I personally went for the receding look because im an older guy. I was very anxious about the style and colour and did not want the fuller look like Ian. In hindsight I went very light and maybe a tad too light, but plus side is I look naturally receding.<div>Now I want to get a touch up as its faded a bit too light. If you take a look at the top of the page and see the chap called Andrew, his actual before pic is what i'd love to replicate as I think it suits a chap my age. I just read one of the threads about some people getting a broken up line and fancy the sound of that, it wasn't being done when we had ours done but you must remember they have come very far since we first went. There was Ian and Ranbir and that was it! No other staff at all. Like I say they have come along way and two better people you honestly couldn't meet. </div> </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/dottytoo-dark/page/2#post-15557 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:51:10 +0000 Hairlover 15557@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>Good post faster1 very true </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/haircules-mht-journey-a-quest-for-for-the-golden-hairline-starring-me/page/5#post-15556 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:50:23 +0000 derek9 15556@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>i think when i get it done, I'm quite prepared after the initial 3-4 sessions to pencil in a yearly touch up if necessary<div><br /></div><div>I'm sure a phone call to your practitioner might help to ease your concern too</div> </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/haircules-mht-journey-a-quest-for-for-the-golden-hairline-starring-me/page/5#post-15555 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:43:22 +0000 Haircules 15555@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>@derek9 faded little but still well disguised </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/colour-matching-scar-repair-only#post-15554 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:38:37 +0000 northeastguy 15554@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>Rob... do you have any pics of what it looks like now?

I do agree with MOtherman. You look good with the system. Where did you get your systems from? They just don't give you the freedom you want.

Described in the simplist way, the middle of my horse shoe shape is a lot thicker than where my neck is along the bottom and round. </p> <p>So much so that i find myself shaving just this middle track twice a day as is become noticably darker before the rest. </p> <p>Now this worries me when it comes to the treatment as i even wonder will they be able to achieve my hair look because it is SO thick it just looks a shade of grey and no dots after a fresh shave. And also will i be able to pull it off when the "middle bit" i referred to grows so quickly the top might not even blend half way through the day! </p> <p>Sorry for the rant, its difficult to explain, but if anyone else has the same problem in thickness of their hair that won't fall out, or has had the treatment done successfully/unsuccessfully... Please let me know! </p> <p>Wireman</p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/haircules-mht-journey-a-quest-for-for-the-golden-hairline-starring-me/page/5#post-15547 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:12:22 +0000 Haircules 15547@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>@magic ah see i never knew of any of this settling ater a month etc i wasnt told that, my 3rd treatment is a month after the 2nd is that why perhaps?<br />mine is exactly like you say its gone really dull and missing something after 5 days from 2nd treatment, so i could pick up again in a few weeks?<br />this is really interesting to me this process it helps ease my mind, thanks magic </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/norwood-7no-hair-clients#post-15546 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:06:53 +0000 Faster1 15546@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>Actually - I had razor shaved, I am closer to a Norwood 5 - now that it is able to grow I am finding I still have a lot more hair than I thought I did LOL.  Now - I am still patchy because on more than one occaision when removing the system it litterally tore the hair out of my head.. In addition - my blading was spreading to the sides and along the bottom of the back of my head, which is why he faded the sides some, going to have to work that some more as well.  I think I am going to drop the hairline a bit more and round out the recession area a bit too.</p> <p>I can't tell you how liberating it is to be free of the system, as for the grey thing - got a shitton of them, I will have to ask Aldemar to ignore that for now lol, some guys look distinguished in grey.. I seem to look more like a vagrant.</p> <p>I leave for LA in a few minutes - I have a 9 o'clock for session 2 tomorrow, I am preppared this time LOL.  CP - I highly reccomend this.. </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/dottytoo-dark/page/2#post-15545 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:54:13 +0000 m0therman 15545@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>   I like it the best when they have darker dots on top of lighter grey dots, to simulate hair coming through the follicles.  that is probably my favorite type of treatment.  The light grey looks good, but I would prefer to have more of a dark dotty look to simulate follicle growth.. The grey is the look of hair right beneath the skin so you would have to wet shave..  with the extra artistry of hair looking like its poking out.. U could probably get away with buzzing instead of shaving.. and i generally like the look better.. my only concern is if it fades funny </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/workout-a-little-confused#post-15544 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:52:01 +0000 Faster1 15544@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>Awsome.. the one thing I am really looking forward to is kicking my workouts back to high gear. THAT was impossible wearing a system.  In fact since I switched to their latest greatest adheasive, "Ghost Bond" it would turn white after 30 minutes from the sweat. Stupid. It felt like working out with a piece of burlap stuck to my head.  </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/norwood-7no-hair-clients#post-15543 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:51:14 +0000 m0therman 15543@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>    Yeah you know what is great about the first guys pictures.. the black dots that contrast over the grey background. like hair actually starting to poke up. I really like that effect.. it looks very realistic.. Not just a grey dull shade with a high density that looks painted.. but real artistry.  <div>   </div><div>  I think that is why us norwood 10's!  need..  more artistry to pull it off.. I am sure the more hair you have the better the treatment will come out and the easier it will be to do,,  but if your a total slap head..  I think the extra detail work really pays off..  With that kind of illusion I think u can get away with buzzing on a 0 guard instead of wet shaving. </div><div><br /></div><div>  I too have worn a hair system for over 10 years.. The look is great,, no one has ever known,  But there is a lack of freedom.  U always have to worry about attaching removing buying new ones. you are not free.  With this treatment,  if you can pull off the style or look,  you have a sense of more freedom in my opinion. </div> </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/for-the-skeptics-there-is-hope#post-15542 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:48:57 +0000 m0therman 15542@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>  I am not going to lie, you look very good with the hair system, but I can understand wearing a hair system is not being totally free.. even if you look great, or no one knows, u still have to take it off change it. reglue.. there is no true freedom with it </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/a-week-after-7th-treatment#post-15541 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:47:35 +0000 Tesla 15541@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>If we could see it clearly we could give opinions,</p> <p>Why 7 treatments did it fade?</p> <p>Where did you have it done? </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/pics-update-thfc/page/2#post-15540 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:47:05 +0000 m0therman 15540@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>  Looks great.. especially the first set of pictures you posted.. to me what made it look so great was that it didn't look like one shade of grey that looked painted on.. There was contrast between dark and grey, in dotty formations that look like stubble growing.. That is what made this really shine for me.   THe later pictures still looked good, but not as good as the first set.. slightly.. only because the darker ink faded out a bit.. but I really like the look of the dark dots popping thru the grey.. that looks very realistic.  </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/dottytoo-dark/page/2#post-15539 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:44:53 +0000 Faster1 15539@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>I am about as picky as anyone I know.  When I wore a system it was pretty much flawless and every hair was exactly where I styled it to be.. my friend used to call it "Organized messy".  I'm day 5 after the first treatment, the pigments are fading down and it looks remarkable.</p> <p>It is as close as it could possible be, and I'm looking forward to the end results. I think if you look at anything long enough you'll find imperfection. As for the "dotty" thing - there is a guy at my work that sports this look with no mht, his follicles are smattering of fine and course, really odd and at first I thought it was hair plugs. Then I thought well maybe he had the mht - upon closer inspection definately not.. it is just they way his har looks. Whats left of it.</p> <p>There is no such thing as perfection in nature.. I think one of the reasons Andrew Staniland's look is so popular is just that - well that and he is damned good looking and who doesn't want to emulate that.</p> <p>I think the real miracle of this procedure having looked at everyone id that they are so individual, not like some cookie cutter product that you pull out of a box and slap on your head.</p> <p>Now being realistic - it is a replication of folicles, and it isn't 3D, so it stands to reason that if your existing hair gets even a milifrag too long there is going to be a visible difference. Your Tatt can't stand on end lol.</p> <p>I think if your looking for the holy grail of camoflage this is it, as close as it gets. But you have to keep in mind it isn't going to do tricks.  Your other options - outrageously priced and as many have pointed out complete and utter disaster. So - your options are </p> <p>A.) Do nothing, kneel every night and pray that someday the Hair Fairy visits you and makes it all better.<br /> <br />B.) Hit the web and order up some virtual hair, be preppared for a lifetime of itchy sweaty misery, and never ending expense. </p> <p>C.) Do something that while it may not be microscopically perfect, is bloody outstanding to the naked eye, and go live your life, unhampered.</p> <p>There are any number of us who are doing this that will be glad to meet you in person.  </p> <p> </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/remington-r91/page/2#post-15538 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:42:31 +0000 Tony M 15538@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>Im sure there is a Phillips elec razor that leaves a bit more stubble on the side .<div>Any ideas ??</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Tony </div> </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/a-week-after-7th-treatment#post-15537 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:41:12 +0000 m0therman 15537@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>Looks good by why so many treatments.. 7 times?? </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/a-week-after-7th-treatment#post-15536 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:36:24 +0000 Hairlover 15536@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>looks ok to me </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/remington-r91#post-15535 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:33:49 +0000 basketballfan 15535@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>completely agree Tony, ive been using Remington by not only the irritation but the fact that hair on the sides is practically invisible, i decided to order Wahl Balding Clipper from Amazon. <div><br /></div><div>I will provide instant feedback once i receive it, hopefully that leaves a bit more stubble without excessive redness/irritation. </div> </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/1st-treatment-in-nyc-coming-up-soon/page/6#post-15534 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:25:04 +0000 basketballfan 15534@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>updates from work today...poor quality of the webcam pics, i know. looks OK with no direct light n my head that's for sure. i have a feeling that fading is not as excessive as the first couple of treatments (which i'm very much excited about!), although the top could be slightly darker (denser) -  i can still see the difference in color even after Remington shaving. <div><br /></div><div>I have one more month for the pigments to settle and then let Matt assess we things are doing, my gut feeling is that one more small session will seal the deal. <br /><div></div><div></div><br /><div><br /></div><div></p> <p> [attachment=15534,1381] [attachment=15534,1382]</div></div> </p> http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/norwood-7no-hair-clients#post-15533 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:16:33 +0000 BornReceded 15533@http://forum.hishairclinic.com/ <p>This guy was a NW7, with medium white skin and dark brown hair.
