Is this person's parting too wide? Is he balding? What NW?

One of my friends asked me to post here if he is balding or not... please give suggestions..he is very scared.. he is also my age only, that is 18. he wants to know also what stage he is in.

Please note that he has oiled his hair up in this picture and that is why his hair is so greasy..

Hard to judge from one picture, from one angle without any knowledge of family history or his early hair.

Looks alright

What nw trentblastoise? I told him it is not balding but he doesn't take my word for it. please tell NW level... thanks

If he is afraid of posting better pics here, then there is no use on this forum. The picture obviously doesn't show ANY sign of balding, so you won't get many replies here. Post better pics or tell him to consult a dermatologist or hair specialist.

Looks allright... maybe slight thinning in the temples... could just be a maturing of hairline or NW 1,5-2... Hairline look and hair look dense... More pictures if you want a better analysis

Looks like maturing of the hairline or maybe norwood 1,5.. otherwise hair look pretty dense

Idk Becken, he looks like a NW1 to me. I'll ask him for more pics but I don't see any thinning that you're talking about. The hair is greasy because of oil and there is a hard part of Hair. I don't see thinning and I think it's a NW1. Anyone else has views on the NW?
