    Default Where am I on the Norwood scale?

    M25. male pattern baldness runs on my dad’s side of the family. My dad started losing his hair when he was about my age. So I’ve been monitoring my hairline over the past couple of months. My crown area is thick, so I’m more concerned with my temples.

    Where on the Norwood scale am I? My temple corners have always been set back, but I don’t have any old pictures up close like this so it’s hard to tell.

    I’m meeting with a hair transplant doctor next week to see what my options are. I don’t think I’m a candidate (nor can I afford one), but meds might be the answer until that day comes.

    Your hairline is quite high, viewed from the front, but you don't have much obvious recession at your temples. To be honest it's hard to even put you as a Norwood 2.

    I could get a transplant on my crap hair and it wouldn't look as good as yours. Please don't obsess over your hair. Like the previous guy said I don't even think ur a Norwood 2. If you do something if anything I would treat it medically. Don't even think about transplants with that minimal loss.

    Cancel your appointment and unless you are going to a top Dr. you are wasting your time.

    No legit doctor would consider of giving you a transplant at your age. I would put you at a N1... I would really do NOTHING, it's still a "maturing" hairline at this point. Wait six months, a year... see your progression, and then revisit the situation.

    Just got a haircut and now I'm worried that the recession may be more aggressive. Thoughts?
