Hello all,
I was hoping to get some input, especially those that have hit 6 on the Norwood scale. I am currently 32 and have experienced some frontal and crown thinning over the last 18 months or so (although I have been receding since my early to mid 20s). I would put myself at around a Norwood 3V at the moment, but I'm guessing my hair loss is going to progress. It's annoying because when I'm looking around at other guys when I'm out and about, I swear I only ever see men of 50 and over with my amount of hair loss and I presume they are individuals that have probably experienced very slow balding over their lifetimes.
I think my photos probably show that I have experienced enough hair loss progression for this not to be one of those posts where a clearly non balding person is asking whether they're balding; I have what I think are legitimate concerns (and equally, curiosity) about any potential moderate to severe hair loss in the future.
My question is this: from looking at my photos (currently buzzed down to a 3), does it look like my hair loss (or thinning area) is showing early signs of developing into a typical Norwood 6 pattern? Are there hallmarks or tell-tale signs that others that developed into that pattern would now know to look out for? Or perhaps it's just completely impossible to know without getting checked by a doctor for miniaturisation?
I've attached photos of the sides, front, back and top, as well as my nape (a week old grade 3). I've also got a photo showing my hair grown out and of my dad at age 30.
As ever, thanks.
