One of my favorite TV shows in recent years! I haven’t read the books, though, so I’m curious to know, Is the storyline pretty similar to the books, or do they change quite a bit for the show?
Hi everyone, I’m currently on day 14 post hair transplant. My doctor recommended that I start using a topical minoxidil + finasteride solution from next month.
I wanted to ask about applying it to both the transplanted and non-transplanted areas.
Once the transplanted hair has fully grown back, if I stop applying the topical solution to the transplanted area but continue using it on the non-transplanted/native hair, would I still be at risk of thinning or losing hair in the transplanted area?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone!

I recently had a hair transplant, and this is my first time ever using minoxidil or finasteride. I’ve never used this topical solution before. My clinic has now suggested that I start using a topical minoxidil + finasteride solution from next month.
I’m a little confused about where exactly I should apply it. Should the solution go on the transplanted area, the non-transplanted/native hair areas, or both?
I’m also wondering about shock loss. Since I’m already going through the normal shedding/shock loss that can happen after a transplant, could starting minoxidil cause an additional shedding phase? If so, could the two types of shedding overlap or happen around the same time?
Since I’ve never used minoxidil/finasteride before, I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a transplant and started this combination afterward. Where were you told to apply it, and did you experience any additional shedding when you first started?

What happens if I only apply the solution to the non-transplanted/native hair areas and avoid the transplanted area? Would that still provide the main benefit, or is there a reason to apply it directly over the transplanted area as well?
One other thing I’m unsure about is the dosage. My clinic recommended 1 mL per application. If I’m supposed to apply it to both the transplanted and non-transplanted areas, is 1 mL realistically enough to cover both? Or is the 1 mL supposed to be concentrated on the areas that need it most?

Hey everyone, I’m on Day 7 after my hair transplant, and I’m still experiencing some uncomfortable sensations on my donor area.
I sometimes feel a burning sensation, little needle-prick/stinging sensations, and occasional mild itching. It’s not constant or unbearable, but it’s definitely noticeable and makes me wonder how long this is supposed to continue.
For those of you who have had a hair transplant, How did you deal with these sensations? How many more days did you experience discomfort?
Would really appreciate hearing about your experience
I'd love to hear what everyone's enjoying lately! I'm currently watching The Chestnut Man.
I just finished Death Note, and this was actually the first anime I've ever watched.
I absolutely love crime thrillers, psychological stories, supernatural elements, and cat-and-mouse games, so it's no surprise that I was completely hooked. The first half of the series is honestly one of the best things I've ever watched. The battle of wits between Light and L had me glued to the screen every episode.
That said, I have mixed feelings about the second half.
After L's death, I felt like the pacing suddenly became much faster. It almost felt as if the story was rushing toward the ending. I wish it had explored a different direction instead of introducing Near and Mello and having them solve the Kira case relatively quickly. With L, we got to see every deduction, every mistake, and every step of the investigation, which made his rivalry with Light feel earned. With Near, I personally didn't get that same feeling.
One thing I really wanted more of was the Shinigami. They're such fascinating characters, yet we barely get to learn about their world, their history, or how their society works. I would absolutely watch a spin-off focused entirely on the Shinigami Realm and their origins.
I wish Misa had played a bigger role in the ending. It felt like her Shinigami Eyes could have had more impact during the final confrontation. The final scene with Light running after everything had fallen apart was really emotional to watch. Watching his journey come to an end like that hit hard.
Overall, I still think Death Note is an incredible series and an amazing introduction to anime!
