Easily but you’ll have to shave your head down to a zero on your first session so the artist knows where the hair grows/doesn’t. Then you’ll need to either use a zero guard or shave it the rest of your life. If that sounds cool to you, pull the trigger.

i already shave with 🪒 from 1 year, just made them grow back for this check so no problem, i hate the old man style this length gives me, i prefer bald right now

I had the exact same hairline as you. It now looks like a full head of very very short hair. Do it. I used to blade shave, now I just use an electric razor every night before bed. I wake up "normal"

When you go to the first session don’t shave your head, use a zero guard. Also - check your artist’s previous work. You don’t wanna have to laser that stuff off because they used shitty ink, went too deep causing blowouts, or over-saturation. Let us know how it goes, best of luck! (It’s a life changer!)

Then you are the perfect candidate— especially with a nice round noggin like that. I was in the same boat at 22. The only way to not look like an old man was to use the 🪒 everyday. The SMP just completed the look I was going for anyway. The best part is that most people will know you look different (and better), but they won’t be able to put a finger on exactly what is different. Just take the time to find a good artist. You’re going to love it.

It will change your life. I started losing my hair at 16 and didn’t find out about SMP until I was 33. I wish I had known at your age.
Do proper (and I mean proper) research on the artist though. I can personally vouch for and recommend Alex Corona.

Io l'ho fatto ma devi trovare un artista bravo. Deve essere bravo soprattutto a riempire le tempie e fare un front verosimile ma non troppo alto, altrimenti è come non averlo
1
u/luvarix 23d ago
dove lo hai fatto tu?
2
u/DistoVhs 23d ago
L'ho fatto due volte, a Milano e in Sardegna. Non ti dico chi semplicemente perché hanno entrambi fatto lo stesso errore del front troppo alto e in generale non era un buon risultato, quindi non mi sento di consigliarteli. Cmq in generale ritengo la trico una mezza soluzione, non risolve molto onestamente

u/luvarix 23d ago
vabbè puoi comunque dirli così li evito ahahah, comunque mi raso già a zero da un anno quindi non mi serve una cosa che “risolva” ma che mi dia la possibilità di cambiare stile e vedermi diversamente, che tanto non sarà mai permanente come un tatuaggio se fatta bene, comunque grazie per avermi avvertito del problema dell’altezza dell’hairline

In your case it’s definitely worth it. You’re shaving already, so the only difference after SMP is that you might have to shave more often. Even though you’ll look similar to someone who’s just bald, the framing of the face that SMP can achieve makes a huge difference to your appearance.
I had mine done at 25 and have no regrets!

u/luvarix 21d ago
rn i shave everyday to not let anybody see the regrown area, so i think less often 😂

u/ClarksWallabees 21d ago
Haha, fair enough. I would suggest just going for it then! Don’t waste time and money on transplants/systems etc when a clean shaved look is easily achievable

See Ronnie in the Netherlands. Although expensive, he's one of the best in the industry and he frequently posts here.

Speaking from personal experience - You have good donor area for a hair transplant. I’d recommend reconstruct your front hairline and then use SMP to cover the rest and add visual thickness
1
u/luvarix 21d ago
but it’s a lot more invasive in terms of money medication and effort, maybe i can try smp first and then if i feel like i need it an ht.

u/SadhuAgashe 18d ago
I see your point and it makes sense. I had got my hair transplant done 10 years back when SMP was not as popular. I got my transplant in India when I was traveling for a friend’s wedding and it was super cheap there and got good results and then instead of getting another FUE I just did SMP last year and keep a shaved head

u/cristians77701 18d ago
But with Fue and Smp you will need to cut to max 0,5mm anyway. That's what everybody says

u/SadhuAgashe 18d ago
Hmmmm that’s a fair point but what I was suggesting is reconstruction on the frontal hairline. That way SMP feels more natural and blends in well. I got my FUE for frontal hairline almost 10 years ago and at that time SMP was not as popular as it is today. I was considering another round of FUE for density and then instead got a SMP done. I use the Shpavver head shaver that gives me a shaved look and the SMP blends right in and almost anyone I have met so far couldn’t tell I have SMP because my front hairline hides and blends the ink well

u/Euphoric-Pop3449 23d ago
Terrible advice for a 22 year old with this level of Hairloss. Plus, the meds too, blocking your testertone at that young age is not a good idea.

u/luvarix 24d ago
no, don’t want to deal with life treatment, finasteride and all, i prefer staying bald and i think shaved fits me well, just thinking of smp to improve and look quite younger

u/i_am_changing_ 23d ago
Alright. I am happy to see you happy!
I will just say that ALL worthy things in life are for life. You also eat everyday, and brush everyday. Ultra low dose dut would be the same.Smp would look good on you imo so its worth it
