Non-surgical tips for Norwood 2/Receded hairline?
Hi guys,
I think I'm Norwood 2 on the scale, but probably progressing towards 2A and 3, unless I take action.
The big problem is my receded hairline. I like to keep my hair spikey and full at the front, but I'm increasingly forced to use hair from the side to conceal the receded areas. My biggest enemies are wind and rain! If the placement of my hair loses grip, then the receded areas are quite obvious and I look ridiculous.
I'm wondering if any guys with similar hairloss know of tips to style or conceal my receded areas, until my treatments kick in or I go for a transplant?
I'm open to anything! Thanks in advance!

I'm a NW3. To minimise the recession, I always go close on the back and sides (grade 1) with a short, brushed forward cut and maybe style it a little to give some texture on the hairline (avoiding the straight look). I'm lucky in that my hair is coarse so It actually looks quite thick when cut as such. I would go short in front so that it will be minimallly affected by the wind, rain, etc but keep it long enough to disguise it a little. A shorter back and sides will give you a sense of proportion and take the focus of the temporal areas. A Norwood 2 appearance is quite easily softened so you should be fine. I'd be careful of bangs or keeping it too long in front. This will only emphasise the lack of hair in the event of a stiff breeze.

I use the big 3 myself so I can see the why you may be considering that as an option. Good luck with that if you do follow up on it. If you would prefer to keep your hair a bit longer on top, than by all means do so. I developed a NW 3 in my early twenties and ten years on, I'm still about the same so try not to worry too much, especially if you follow up on treatment. You also have Histogen, Aderans and Replicel all racing to offer new, innovative therapies. Find a good barber and experiment with a few differant lengths. If you turn up to get a cut and you are already wearing your hair to reduce temporal visibility, a good barber will probably pick up that you would be looking for a shorter variation on the same theme.

Save your hair first
I would suggest you to stop worrying about style and concentrate on hair loss. once your hair fall has stopped you can try bringing hair from the sides to the front, and remember not on the crown. the hair at the crown should be puffed do not use gel.
