23yo, what kind of norwood stage would this be?

Hi all,

I'm new here. Been lurking on the forums for a while, but decided to post my story as well.

I'm 23 year old and noticed that in the last 2-3 years my hairline started reciding pretty fast. I always joked about me going bald within the near future, but looking at some pictures from my previous holiday from a top view makes this a harsh reality. I think it started at about 18 years old, before that my hairline was straight.

I'm not really experiencing any hairloss on the back of my head yet, but the hair on my temples is pretty much gone, and the hair that is still left in the front section is becoming very thin.

Wondering if treatments would be worth it at my age, or if it would be better to just shave it all off.

What do you guys think? I read about the Norwood system, any idea where this would be on that scale?



Thanks for your feedback!

Balding in a 3A pattern. Get on finasteride and nizoral 2% definitely, you still have a lot of hair left.

Maybe about a 3 at this point?
