I just want to make it clear that I’m not promoting finasteride. I think when it comes to taking it you’re playing a game of Russian roulette and the side effects will largely be down to the individual. Some people will experience minimal sides, others will experience the worst of the worst. Take with caution.

😂😂😂 i was laughin so hard at the start

If this guy can’t handle going bald, what hope do the rest of us have

Really respect your attitude to this subject, hair loss can be a tough subject for a guy, yet here you are making public videos about it and having a good sense of humour. It looks great!

There's an airline that specializes in flying back FUE patients from Turkey. The name is Turkey Hairlines.

Mike is the realest fitness KZfaqr there is. No facade, no bullshit, no false “perfect life”. Just a real guy with real problems who loves fitness among many other things.

Mike, I want to thank you! I was on the fence about getting a hair transplant, and your previous video inspired me and gave me the push I needed to get it done. Even though I'm only 4 months after the procedure I am already very satisfied with the results. May our hair keep growing. Cheers and thanks again!

Your videos keep getting better and better! Congrats on the recovery!

$10,000 for a hair transplant? $10 for a sweet wig.

I’m glad you’re happy with it Honest sharing Brave You would still inspire even if surgery did not work.

Solid very in depth video man. I just completed my procedure about 1mth ago so am playing the waiting game like many other have. It's nice to see how someone else pushed through it all. Thanks much appreciated.

Awesome results Mike... I'm so happy for you... Love how opened this dude is... Very good video.

And this is why ur my favorite social media person ! Cheers!

looks great man, im in a similar situation and I feel the same about my own hair so its nice to see an honest account of the whole procedure

Can believe how open and helpful he is given how people might view him, he obviously don't care and wants his follower know what he has done. Respect

This man made a hair transplant look like a muscle show

Thanks for making another video about your hair transplant, and the intro is amazing

Been looking forward to this. Thanks again for sharing this.

Great video Mike, i really appreciate how open and candid you are about your procedure and personal experience. People like you making videos like this remove the stigma associated with men having any form of procedure to enhance their looks. It always bugs me that women can dye their hair, wear high heels, get breast implants, wear foundation to hide bad skin, where other make up to almost transform their faces, yet if a man does something he's not being masculine. Frankly it's BS. You look great with it.

Hello, I'm a new subscriber. I've never seen someone with better aesthetics! Unbelievably perfect!

When mike out angles his hairline

Insight, experience and honesty. What more do the fans need. 👍

Great vid - honest and candid. Look forward to the finasteride update.

Great work healing from the inside and attacking from the outside as well. Gratz man

Mike use minoxidil foam instead - it's not greasy and actually makes your hair look thicker after it's dried and you've combed it. If you end up growing your hair out again it also makes styling with wax/clay way easier too. Also my finasteride experience is really similar to yours, here's hoping they come out with topical sometime soon!

Minoxidil does work for sure! I use to have a crazy patchy beard so I started applying it to my face to promote growth and now I have a full grown beard with minimal patchiness. I know for a fact I wasn’t gonna grow a beard if I wouldn’t have used it.

Mike, for sure this will sound like just one more of those totally common comments, but your video sharing the experience of hair loss and how you managed to get over it made an impressive impact on me and the way I need to deal with it. Motivation, the word is old, but the feeling is great ! Thanks bro.

Congratulations! 'glad to hear you are pleased!

I freaking love your honesty and the fact that you actually talked about the important things.. Sex drive!!

To echo the majority of the other comments below, what a fantastic video Mike! In all my 10 years of personal involvement in hair loss and transplants, I’ve yet to see it spoken about with such clarity and honesty. Many key points were expertly covered and hopefully it can help others with the confidence to take the leap and seriously consider visiting a reputable surgeon a transplant. It was great to hear you weren’t over harvested and looked after well in a UK clinic. Good luck with your continued success. Ps. On the crown, with its lesser blood flow, you will gain results a little later so give it 12-14 months. Top work. @benjaminlewitt Wimpole Clinic LONDON.

Mike Truthton. You're the realest fam!

You get this a lot, but I still have to say thank you for keeping it real with us. Your videos are great, looking forward to the finasteride one

That opening reminded me of the Addams family movie when uncle fester gets a wig. Lmao.

One of the realest in the industry, much respect Mike.

The Most honest KZfaqr out there and best content.

Dude i just found your channel and im diggin it pretty hard from the bodybuilding to the hair transplant definitely hitting the sub button

6 months went by already 😨. Time is moving too fast for my liking

Awesome dude! Great looks! Question though: how long will the transplanted hairs staying your head? Are these hair forever growing? Isn't it going to fall out again?

Watched 1000 videos on hair transplant.this is the by far the best video I have found.informafiom,clarity everything ok point

Great video, man. You seem very down to Earth and candid. Appreciate the video

Thank you for the update. You actually helped convince me to get a transplant two months ago after I was researching for a year. I feel a lot better mentally after it was done

Good on ya mike this should be talk about I had mine done about the same time and guys Should not be ashamed to take about it and if anyone is thinking about it get it done it will give you your confidence back 👍💪

Love your honesty! You hair looks great bro.

Appreciate you being so open 🙌

Me: Something I know nothing about and would never consider watching Also me: very interested and deep into mikes video, right the way through

I'm so glad I get to finally see the results and it looks amazing. I've been losing a bit of my hair in the crown area as well and was checking your vids out regularly to see if you might've done a short update along the way.

I had about the same amount man! Couldn’t be happier. Easy recovery... was back in the gym a week later! Got it done in Bangkok (Thailand) for about 7k. Looking shredded mate, keep on killing it!

Your surgeon actually did a great job, it looks natural

Thanks for sharing Mike! This brings hope for us with crap hair genetics..

“Hair transplant?” “Very good, very good” 😂 😂

I’m glad to see the operation ended successfully. Going bald sucks. I’m 19 years old, and losing my hair pretty quickly. I was considering to get a hair transplant of my own. I’m currently saving my money right now for a procedure. I just hope my operation could go as successful as yours.

well done Mike , best of luck to you in the future

I’ve been bald since the age of 19. So I shaved it all off and it’s never bothered me. I actually think having hair would be weird now.

Man I love your humor 😂 character is everything bro 👌🏽

Massive respect for speaking open about your problems and experiences about hairloss, sex drive, etc.!

That beattles wig killed me 🤣 great vid mike! Cant believe its been 6 months already!

I literally have an afro idk y I’m here

Excuse me bro? 'Getting my bush on' hahaha - This is what I will call manscaping from this day forth!

You’re the goat for these updates 👍

You look fantastic man. Really happy for you 👍🏼

5 seconds in and already had to drop a like for that lmao

Just keep yourself at a stress-free mindset and let things go their way

You are so real. Which i love Keep it up!

This guy is just so honest and transparent

Appreciate your honesty brotha! I am going to Turkey for mine as I have done lots of research and they are up there with quality of work . Cheers!....

The mass steroid use didn't effect you post surgery?

Great vid mate keep us updated.

Hey mike could you please do a video on injury prevention, tips to not get injured and all of that? Love your work!

Where do u buy t-shirts ? :D Looks simple and nice

You’re so handsome it doesn’t matter. You look good bald tho.

You seem like an awesome person....glad your transplant went well....cheers from Canada!

Love the intro, so funny 😂 Your transplant looks amazing! Can't really tell you've had one done. I've had mine don'e back in october 2019, most of mine fell out week 3/4 and i've only now started seeing some small results.. i'm about to do my week 12 video, but it looks no way near as good as yours. did yours shed much? because it looks perfect.

You look fantastic

i’m 18 & i am loosing my hair rather quickly… guess i’m gonna have to get a body like you & do it fast

Great, honest video Mike. I can't remember whether you mentioned it in the previous video but did you do anything different in the gym in the weeks leading up to your surgery knowing you'd be out for ten days? Just wondered if you built up to some heavy maxes or pushed the volume really high as you knew the break was coming? Cheers!

These updates are sick, keep it up

Hey Mike, I would like to share my situation concerning Finasteride. I went on Finasteride for a little over 3 years straight. At one point I lost practically all desire to have sex. I didn’t have any problems with obtaining or maintaining an erection at all but my interest level to have sex with someone or even alone wasn’t happening at all. My whole life I have always had a very active healthy sex drive and interest as well as an active healthy sex life! Finasteride literally shut it down! When I realized this was happening I became terrified. I had my testosterone levels checked and they were a bit on the lower end of the normal range which scared me even more. After A year of not taking Finasteride my desire for sex still hadn’t returned. I went on TRT and my libido and sex drive came back “somewhat” but not anything like it used to be. Even though there can be negative side effects with medicines, most all of us never think it will happen to me. Well it did happen and it was awful and is still not back to its normal self. I can tell you that I would rather be skin bald then to lose my sex drive or interest for sex. Imagine not caring at all about having sex with your partner or remotely giving to thoughts about an attractive female that you just came in contact with. Imagine never having a desire to watch porn or literally any of it. No masturbation, nothing. It’s not a good feeling and it’s not at all healthy. And even a bigger issue, they don’t really know why it happens and they don’t know how to fix it. And if the doctor tells you any side effects will stop the moment you stop taking it, I am living proof that is not the case for everyone. I am hoping it will fully return back to how it was before I started taking Finasteride. It’s not there yet and it has been almost two years now. I feel like I am 50 percent of the way there.. As uncomfortable as it is to talk about it publicly, I feel the need to tell as many people as I can that I would not in any way take Finasteride EVER! The risk is just too great!!! Hope what I just expressed helps. ☮️😊💪🏼

Last time I was this early the McDonald's ice cream machine was working

Glad that you were able to go through that ❤️

Mike love the content man keep it up! Quick question please, do you take 1mg or 5mg of finasteride daily? I'm in the same situation as yourself and I am starting finasteride soon

Was not ready for Bieber Thurston 😂 hair looks great mike!

I really appreciate this post. I’m a 22 year old losing my hair rapidly and have looked everywhere for a well documented and accurate representation of an FUE transplant. You’ve got my hopes up for it

I just gave me the most down to earth 🌏 info there is regarding hair transplant in all KZfaq more than all the channels. Thanks bro you’re hair looks perfect 👌🏻

Looks great and some good info the sides and back are the best I've seen

Man, so excited about this video as a completely bald 26 year old!

12:55 WAIT 10 K ? Here in my lithuania it is about 1500 euro and people still hesitate.

Mike you say it how it is, great video.

When you were waiting for the hair to start growing back in the first 2/3 months did you feel like the baldness didn't bother you like it did before having the transplant?

;D the first 22 minutes though...makes me laugh out loud ;)

Me: The hair gainz though- >Takes off wig Me: Oh...

What a self steem. Just incredible. Big inspiration

Your t shirts always look great!!

“No scarring” 9:10

Dont mind me just watering my head

Mike Thurston - Making hairlines great again!

Superb honest video 👍🏻

I actually noticed your hair being much better looking today, on instagram, and boom - you post an update video! I'm on finasteride + minoxidil + dermaroller, 6 months in. It's awesome you make videos about this, I wish I knew way earlier about the ways to save my hair. I'm not scared of Finasteride, because any drug that you take (for pain, fever, etc.), just type its name in google, ALL of them have some horror stories.

You got amazing density with just 1,700 grafts.

Very good results! You should be very pleased!

im really happy for u wish u all the best!!
