Default Curious what norwood scale I am. Hairline corners receding for about a year

23 year old been receding for almost a year at the temples. Definitely miniaturizing toward the corners and hair is much finer than before. It seems to be getting worse month by month. I'm pretty sure I'm between a Norwood 2 And 3 but would like to get some feedback. Much appreciated. I have super thick and wavy hair when long but it's becoming harder to hide the hairline corner recession. By the way, I have been using propecia for 3 months and my father has maintained his hair for over 10 years using propecia. On the other hand, he was only experiencing crown loss with absolutely zero hairline recession. I would say he has a norwood 1 his entire life. It might be hard to notice but I can tell based off how I used to style my hair, trust me I would not be on these boards if I did not feel I had reason for concern. Any feedback is much appreciated.

I've never been good at telling NW's, but I would guess you're a NW2?

Norwood 2? thanks for the response. That's what I figured, I just do not want it to progress if possible, so hopefully propecia will maintain.

Does anyone think it might be a norwood 3, because I know it soon will be if it's not already and these medications do not work?

If you're a norwood 3, then i'd hate to think what that makes me. Am I Norwood 4 or 5 at 23. Unbelievable.

I might not be there yet but I'm just worried it will get worst. If I can maintain I'll be perfectly satisfied because it looks "mature" still and basically normal to the average person and hasn't progressed to the point where it's noticeable. I've never gotten a comment from anyone so I might be a bit paranoid.

This is a norwood 3.



I'm not even there, so there's no way you're a norwood 3.

You know what, I really don't know, I might be a norwood 3. Maybe. I don't know, i'd have to show pictures of my hair loss and have people who know more than me tell me what I am. But I know your not a norwood 3, and I could even be wrong about you being a norwood 2.

yeah man it seems really hard to tell, I guess it just depends on who you ask.

I wonder if I should just post my pics I just took on this thread, or make a separate thread?
