    Default Am I a poor candidate for a transplant?

    I'm considering a hair transplant within the next five years but I'm paranoid that I'm destined to become a Norwood 7. My family realistically doesn't suffer from hair loss. My father, grandfather and maternal grandfather have all retained their mature hairlines. They developed them at their mid twenties/thirties yet I'm 20 and essentially a Norwood 2. There's one side in which balding is present and that's my maternal grandmothers of who I believe to be taking after as my crown is positioned in the same place as her's. Does this mean I'm likely going to be a Norwood 7, poor candidate for a transplant?
