The end results look great.

Were the initial pics taken with concealer in the hair? That can be VERY deceiving. I have consulted several guys who sent me pictures of their hair and I would have sworn that they hadn't lost a single strand. Even sitting two feet away from me in bright sunlight I could see that the affected area was thin, but only because it wasn't laying quite the same way as the rest of the hair. The concealer created the illusion that the density was still there. Only after seeing it completely washed out did I realize how little hair there actually was.

Quite a testament to the power of concealers!
