    Can I get a Norwood diagnosis?

    Here is an album of four images showing my hairline:



    I believe my hairline has been stable for going on seven years now, but it's difficult to tell. I do not really like it, but if it's only a Norwood 2, I don't think I'm interested in beginning treatment yet. However, if I've ventured into Norwood 3 territory, I would consider finasteride and possible future transplantation. For reference, I'm 27.

    Thanks in advance!

    Based on this pics, You dont seem to be in norwood 3 territory nor 2 territory. Most folks wish they had hair like that. I dont even know if that is any norwood, looks maturing but nothing that needs tweaking. Touching it with any procedure may make it worse. Lots of native hair and you do not want to become a repair patient. Trust me on that one. You are a very lucky guy to have the hair you have. Best of luck.

        You definitely aren't Norwood 3- I'd put you at somewhere between 1 and 2. Keep in mind when/if you do decide to start Finasteride, many patients experience an initial shed before their hair loss stops/slows down so it may be wise to start a little before your hairline starts to really bothers you. And don't get hung up too much on the Norwood scale itself, some people look great at Norwood 3 and others don't, what matters most is your overall 'look'. Your hair looks really good for now.

          The hairline is starting to go into Norwood 3 territory. It is going into a triangular shape. Vertex density looks good though.

            Your hairline is not going into NW3 territory.. It looks great and you're a lucky dude, I'm 19 and my hair looks like I'm 35.
