It looks great! It may have faded a bit looking at your previous video but looks fine. Noone leaves under bright lights unless you are an artist. Finding the right studio is key! You are 1000% right! Thanks for the video
By far the most genuine and real explanation on youtube, had my second session yesterday and your videos has been so helpful before and during the journey! Fantastic videos, thank you! Looks great by the way.
Looks great. I’m getting SMP now - 2 sessions done so far, but mine is to hide a huge donor scar. My skin is very white & the scar is even whiter. But thankfully my artist is good & I think we’ll finish with some pretty decent results!
I'm 2 weeks into my 2nd session and I love it. My brother came over the othernight and dint even realize I had it done. Even if it needs retouching in 5 to 7yrs, it's worth it, and I think the faded look looks better anyways. You don't want it DARK and noticeable!!! It's better then being 20+yrs OLD, and looking 50+. I also bought NO SHINE head lotion to stop the SHiNe... also DO research on the artist you Pick. Mine was very GOOD, but never even asked what kind of hairline I wanted, and started doing his own thing, and actually cut my forehead cause he was pressing so hard with the pencil drawing the hairline, and did 2 10hr sessions with only a 5min break with each session, and was Vaping while he was working on my head.🤦. In the end I'm happy with my results, and wouldn't go back to being bald with a Horseshoe hairline...
Thanks for doing these videos . I had my first session and am in the stage of freak out. Reluctant to get my second session but hopefully I can get there.
Couldn't go through with the 2nd session. The work was good but I was far too self conscious about it. Had a few laser sessions to get it removed, on a positive note, I am more content being bald now than I ever was. Costly lesson I guess. 🙈
Yes, but make sure you see a good artist. Bad artists might go too deep and that can be hard to remove. When they do it properly, it's easy enough to remove
Found this from your reddit link, just wanting someone's genuine experience and I think this sells the need for realistic expectations and really shows the amazing results you can have if you do your home work. Any recommendations for products daily moisturisers, etc?
Great non-biased video. Do you have any info on touch-ups when it starts fading. They seem to suggest it can continually be touched up forever and will look fine?
Thanks for the update and videos man, they're helpful. Did you ever consider a hair transplant? And did you use medical treatments beforehand to try stop your hair loss? Am about norwood 3, been losing hair for over 3 years now. Am using topical fin atm but i dont know if the treatments are working. Id only consider a transplant if the topical stopped the loss from progressing or else it will continue to fall out after any transplant. Ive been looking into smp for a while, im interested in it as an option. It will probably be what i go for if i am finding the medical therapies arent working which will rule out transplant. I dont want to take the orals, so if topical doesn't work I basically will go for smp. I like the shorter buzzed look anyway, theyve done a great job on yours. Thanks for the advice around picking the right person and the natural, soft hairline, etc.
Howdy! I never thought to stop my hairless, I always knew it was coming. I only later found out that the treatments are effective and quite affordable. I slightly regret that but not by much. I wouldn't do a hair transplant because they are quite involved, take a long time to fully take and require a large donor area. I'm kinda past that point to be honest. SMP is much closer to bald than having hair. It just frames your face and hides the horseshoe, but I'm happy with that!
I think facial hair plays a role in eye misdirection and psychological as well, for example, longer beards makes you look like your trying to misdirect eye attention, shorter beards like a #2 with a longer mustache #3 gives a better blend like from cheek beard to sideburn to head. That’s how I do it, I had 3 treatments starting 10 years ago, and it looks pretty good and natural still, I don’t shave anymore, just zero on clippers, I agree it can be detectable, that’s why I do what I do to make it the most non detectable as possible, also hard lines look stupid and fake as hell, yours looks pretty good, btw the back of my head, the round part never really stuck so I feel like that gives more genuine to the eyes.
There is no such thing as good SMP. They all look like tattoos. So does his. Saw a bloke at a reception today. I knew the moment I saw him that he had done SMP. Overheard him talking with somebody close to him about it, and I was like YEP, I knew it.
This is the video that everyone needs to see. I have an smp and I regret it. My smp looks great in low like and yellow light. The bright white light in my office the smp looks so bad. I've tried the anti shine. And it still looks so bad. I wish that people would make more healed videos. I got the defined hair line and it just looks so bad in the last lighting that you showed.
But his smp looks great in all lights. Why does your look bad? Is it botched? Also a head full of hair shaved to 0,5mm looks completely bald on bright white lights
That was a quick 2 years. I still haven't got it, but yours looks good. I have this fear I'll have regret even though I'm NW7 and in my 40s. Maybe I'm just a pussy lol
It looks good, how would it look when it faded further, i’ved heard the infinite top up is actually a myth and adding more dots would just Make your head look like a solid colour. Will you top up again ?
Not worth it for me, you still look like a baldie with a beard, maybe slightly better, but for the cost, time, effort, permanence, inconvenience, plus risks of a bad smp or touch up just 1 time and it turning blue or giving you helmet head with time then you need painful costly inconvenient risky laser removal, all that for what so you can still look mostly bald instead of fully bald and have to shave regularly just like you would fully bald, if youre gonna spend all that money, inconvenience, effort, and risk then you should do it with meds and transplants for a huge difference in looks and maintenance effort by having actual hair you can grow out that you dont need to cut regularly every 2-3 days like bald and smp instead of a tiny difference where ur still bald smooth head with a beard and need to cut very frequently. Only time smp makes sense is if you gave trying to have hair you can grow out everything you can including using hair fibers or normal smp for density to fix thin areas and it still doesn’t look good then smp can be nice to fill out the transplant scars and add density to the top for a nice buzzcut; plus having transplanted hairs on top will give texture like the sides making it more realistic.
Two years in and it still looks very good! Thank you for sharing your experience!

looks even better in daylight
Bro, that looks good. All lighting it looks nice. Would have been nice to see photos/videos of your head pre SMP.
Thank you for this video I have alopecia universalis made my mind to have this ,looks great thanks for advice and what to expect 👍
Just did mine and it 100% depends on who does the work. Don't rush to decide!
Best advice video on SMP I’ve seen yet. Thanks for sharing
Very very useful advice!
Thanks for honestly sharing your experience!

Are you in Texas? Looking for a recommendation.
@@MovieJustinyou should go where the best artist you find is , not location convenience tbh
Looks like a better than excellent result on my computer monitor.
Thanks for doing these videos . I had my first session and am in the stage of freak out. Reluctant to get my second session but hopefully I can get there.
Why the freak out exactly? 😅😅 in what context?
How is it looking now? Please share your story, the community needs this kind of real content.
Update us bro

A few more questions. Can you show us how your smp looks in your bad lighting at your work. Also, do you anti shine?
Yes, I sometimes use it. I get lazy though. Some of the other videos cover that? It's never terrible, just looks a bit less realistic up close.
I think you stress over the lighting and its looma more than others. The smp looks good on you and I wouldn't do a double take if I saw you.
Great great great video
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏 FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE ..!LOOK AWESOME SUPER NATURAL..!!!
You might want to try Zero Shine 2.0
Good 👌
I will like to do it but will I be able to take it away if I don’t want it no more?
Yes, but make sure you see a good artist. Bad artists might go too deep and that can be hard to remove. When they do it properly, it's easy enough to remove

Is looks so good on you
Your SMP looks really good.
Im of indian origin. Can i ask what you asked for in regards to dots etc
Does a normal hair shaver cut it short enough or do you always recommend wet shaving it?
It does
Great non-biased video. Do you have any info on touch-ups when it starts fading. They seem to suggest it can continually be touched up forever and will look fine?

Utter nonsense
Facial hair is simply an ugly feature. Period.
A small fake scar or two also creates more realism.
Where did you do it ??
Great video
Your results are awesome. Very difficult to find a good smp. Who was the artist?
There is no such thing as good SMP. They all look like tattoos. So does his. Saw a bloke at a reception today. I knew the moment I saw him that he had done SMP. Overheard him talking with somebody close to him about it, and I was like YEP, I knew it.

Would you still have done it if you got a more natural feathered hairline vs the defined hairline?
@case8987 when I get a touch up next year, I will ask, but I do not like it in bright overhead light.
@@kiros007 unfortunately, this is the lighting that I spend the most time in. My office is so bright.

Get smp and take saw palmetto.
Hahaha! I can understand. Don't rush it, listen to your gut. :)
@stevenwaste of time. Saw palmetto does nothing 1811
I remember your first video
Do you know of a woman who had SMP done? If so, is she happy with it?
There are many, check out SMPchat on Reddit.
@@jaydawg4732 Thank you.
Did you get a hair transplant first
Nope! Just SMP
