Don't do it! | My SMP Journey
in this video I want to discuss with you why I chose to work with @scalp_logic , why I did not lower my hairline originally with my SMP scalp micropigmentation work and why people in the industry are giving this procedure a bad name.

Have watched plenty of SMP videos and this has to be one of the best results. Looks amazing and natural. Some of those lower hairlines, done too thickly look absolutely ridiculous.

You're absolutely right about what you've seen from other companies.
I'm extremely happy with my SMP treatment, it took away all my obsession and self conscious issues with my hair loss.
Their work is amazing. I found them cuz of you and I'm really grateful cuz I didn't like wut I wuz seein in the industry either.

They really are amazing!
When you focus on the discrepancy between the shaved area and the stubble area, it's obvious. Unless you're told, an observer's brain will meld the two areas (and won't notice anything). I'm thinking that in this example, 3 days growth is acceptable. I was thinking you'd have to shave every single day. Personally, I'd be too insecure to let it go for more than two days in the beginning. I'm sure that over time, I'd be comfortable with three days as well.
looks perfect. Subtle smp is what they call it.
The only thing I regret is that I haven't done it earlier

I got mine done at creative scalps US. I do think mine looks pretty good most of the time. Amazing in natural sunlight. Not amazing in intense led light on top of head If I had a do over it I would definitely go with Scalp logic.

Don't do it. Guys look ridiculous when they lower their hairline. Especially grown men with a teenage hairline. Don't do it. You look natural from here and that's the best.

Thanks so much for the thoughts my friend! I also agree that when you see a grown man with a kids hairline that it looks terrible (which is why I would never do it). But what if they were to keep it conservative? Not bringing it low and straight but filling in those gaps on the two sides just a little bit and keeping it slightly recessed. What are your thoughts? Thanks! 👊

Agree, no need to go lower your hairline - I did the same thing & my pic is approx 7 yrs after my procedure, and while my artist was pretty decent i do have that ink spread a bit if you can see in my pic so imagine if years from now the ink spread was below your hairline.
Looks good, is that a scar on the top, did you get that touched up as well. I’m asking because I have a scar on top and was wondering if SMP would camouflage it?
Thanks to this video mate. For 2 days now, I just thinking about having smp in the confines of my hairline cause I might still wanna grow my hair at some point👍
I got mine done the lighter the better and go for the natural line up instead of the box
Ultrascalp in Tampa FL is excellent, very skilled and great work.

@@flow2techbrother you are talking rare people who have juvenile hairlines at a much older age that's maybe 1% of the population at best. His hair looks great and if he would lower a tiny bit it would look great for him as it fits his face. The moral of the story is you have to be okay with a short head of hair, if a person cannot see themselves cutting their hair short like that even with a slightly lower hairline then it's not for them. I'm in New York City when I was young I had that hairstyle by choice even when I had a full head of hair it was a tight fade and short on top and people were always ask if I was in the military. Again this was before any hair loss so you have to be comfortable with short hair. Nothing more disgusting than having your hair really long but in certain areas it's thinning and we cover it up and look ridiculous. I think the guy who made this video knows what I'm talking about that's why he won't grow his hair out because you may be able to style it a little bit but if the wind blows or it rains or something it's going to expose the areas that you're hiding. Here he no longer has to hide it is what it is.
Is it worth traveling to a company like this rather than going to somewhere close to me that does not have the rep this company does?
You might be right bro! But imho its perfect all ready. Looks super natural and right for your age. Im really thinkin about smp and my issue isnt the hair line (mine is naturally almost like what yours is now). Its the BACK Of my head thats the problem. Big patch missing. If your short, you wont see it but if your taller than 5'10 1/2 then your gonna see the baldness on the BACK of my head.. My goal is to have it aimilar in looks as yours is now, Whcich it almost IS! EXCEPT for the back of the head. Thats where the smp needs to be done for me. Yeah yours is so good right now.

My advice is that if you want your hairline lowered, then do it the first time round. If you do it after your first smp, then it can be tricky for them to colour match, and there can be a slight line. This guy looks fine and natural as it is. Seems like he is being greedy now, lol.
