How does one determine their final NW pattern?

I was curious how to determine one's final NW pattern, specifically how one reaches NW7.

Is it more likely that someone goes straight to a NW7 pattern or that they are a slick NW6 and then recede back from that NW6 to a NW7?

As it relates to me, I am 22 NW3/4 and considering getting a transplant in 4-5 years when I am basically a slick NW6.

When I see people who have the horseshoe pattern I just assume that what they have is there to stay (until you are like 60+). How often is this true?

Look at all the men in your family.

what good would a transplant do when you're a nw6/7?

Restore a thin hair line, give a frame to your face.

In 4-5 years there will probably be something better then what have currently. Probably not going to regrow NW 6 though
