Couvre here....used daily since 1995...100% of thinning scalp. It rocks!

Toppiks here... LOVE IT!! Toppix is like a salt shaker Couvre is like a paste ( I think ) I tried it years ago and I didn't like it.

Everyone has their own preference, I suggest you try both.

SAF,

Are you at the point in your hair transplant's that using these type of products gives you the appearance of a lot of hair?

 

[s.a.f]

Yes thats the situation the hair transplant's are'nt quite enough to do the job on their own (if only I had enough grafts left for another session. ) but with concealers it is passable as an ok amount of hair for my age. Its alot of hassle but it still feels better to me than being a bald guy.

That's good at least.

Yeah being the bald guy sucks. I feel it every single minute of every single day.

Well to me it was only bad in certain situations, socialising (something I always avoided) or meeting people I had'nt seen for a few years.

For instance I remember a while after I first started shaving (aged 26, NW3 or 4). I was at work and this hot temp girl came to work for us, my boss said to her "go and see that bald guy" (meaning another worker who is about about 40 and NW5) the girl walks over to me and he shouts "not that bald guy the other one". :blush: :freaked:

That's not insulting as much as it's true. But I understand that it hurts. If you were the guy with the long hair, it would have said the long haired guy or the grey haired guy and so forth. But bald hurts so you take it hard. I know the feeling.

But I mean at least now you have some hair up there and are moving on. I'm very happy for you actually.

Yeah I just laughed about it because I realised thats how people saw me, as just the bald guy. Its the most obvious description that comes to mind, but it just so happens that my most individual feature was something society deems as negative. If I was 6'6" I'd be the tall guy or if I was 300lbs the fat guy. But its just something that I had to accept at the time.

I'm not 6'6' but I am a couple of inches shorter so I am the tall guy. But I AM the bald guy first if people see me.
