    Default Am I Norwood 5 or 6? Transplant question

    Hi all,
    I am 38, and used Rogaine for 12 years until the pandemic, and have been off of it the last 2 years. My hair loss progressed and stabilized and am now considering a hair transplant. About 10 years ago I went for a couple consultations, and they said my donor hair was the ideal type due to its density. However, significant hair loss since then and wanted to see what that would look like now.

    I've had 1 consultation that suggested 5,000 using FUE over a 2 day period. Waiting for my second (Cooley in Charlotte NC).

    I don't want to be on Rogaine or Finasteride post transplant though. (Rogaine I over used it and it really damaged my skin - extremely deep smile lines and crows feet since age 27).

    Was wondering:
    1. Am I a Norwood 5 or 6?
    2. Does 5,000 grafts sound about right (I'm about 6'6" so have a big head ha)?
    3. I'm ok for additional transplants in the future. How decent of a candidate do you think I am?

    Thank you,
