Torrance and his three looks!

Well, today I am feeling great about my hair, especially the front portion. There is no doubt that Bosley has re-created a hairline for me. Since we have focused so much on re-creating a hairline, its left the back of my head pretty bald. Obviously, I was super-bald before, so it still feels amazing to be on my way to having a full head of hair again. I believe my next procedure will be concentrated around the back of my head to cover any apparent bald spots. I haven’t been self-conscious about the back or top portion of my head, but I am more aware that you can still see right though to the scalp, especially in comparison to my full hairline.

It’s a great feeling to not have to wear a hat or feel like I have to hide my hair loss. The best part is just seeing it all come together. It's so exciting! I believe that after my next procedure I should have a total of nearly 5,000 grafts, which should hopefully cover my entire head.  I am at around 3,800 grafts so far. The scar is healthy and feels much better now than it did after the second procedure back in July 2007. I definitely see why waiting a good six months benefits you when you go back in for round two or three! You want the head to be fully healed so the doctors can remove as much donor area as possible. I now know what to expect when I am in there, so it’s a breeze. It’s amazing what they can do and its only going to get better. I am shocked at the results thus far—it should be amazing to see what it all looks like a year from now!

Everyone I have talked to thinks my hair appears thicker than before. I used to have very fine hair, so having the donor hair come from the back of my head has made my whole mane stronger and healthier. When I tell new people I meet that I had a hair restoration procedure, they are amazed at the results and think the hairline looks completely natural. Lots of compliments so far! Perhaps the greatest joy is that I can have different hair styles for different occasions. As you can see in the photos below, I tried to give you three different looks: dry (the Kramer look),  slick and wavy.
