Close to moving into Norwood 4 territory. I can't help but laugh.

Maybe I'm just so busy and stressed study for my board exams, I just don't seem to care for some reason right now. Currently just using minox foam on my head. Last pic, just poofed my hair up. As you can see, there is diffuse thinning going on.

I would like to get a HT done by the end of the year as a graduation gift, but don't know if I'm a good candidate or not.

Not sure about this to be honest with you. Does it look bad the way it is now? Keep in mind, this is from being out all day. I'll try to take a pic tomorrow when I look more sophisticated, lol.

Honestly from the pics you gave, your hair looks pretty bad. I agree with buzzing it

Really? I feel like I still have a good amount, it's just receded heavily.

There are people with worse hair loss, that still haven't shaved their heads off. Damn...

it's not about hair, man. it's about what makes you look better right?

Shave it off. you will look better.

I wouldn't just say "look better" alone I'd say "feel better"

We would need a front pic also to really help tell how it looks... just blur out face if you want to keep privacy.


For me personally, I keep mine at a 1 on top and .5 on sides and people tell me I look much better than before. Also I just started using rogaine and found it easier to apply instead of having the hair I do have being in the way.

Not sure why everyone suggests to "buzz" it off as not everyone can pull off that look. OP if it doesn't bother you that much I wouldn't bother cutting but before a hair transplant have you tried any treatments (ie: Finasteride, Minoxidil, etc)?

I don't even think it's about "pulling off the look".

The more hair you have the more it's noticeable and the more you're expressing 'the defect', and to be frank; atm it does look bad. But granted, it's indeed not about what others think about it, but how he feels about it and what makes him the most self-secure. If he thinks this looks better than the short buzz, he should keep it by all means.
