I've just noticed actually that there seems to be shorter hair in a pattern that seems about in line with norwood 5A, so possibly that will end up as my final hairline. I'm not sure if that area is diffusing, but I can't really see diffusing anywhere when I take pictures, it's pretty hard to...

Was that a proper vacuum wig? How much did it cost? I have seen a few prices online but they are mainly for women's ones which I assume are gonna be more expensive as they need to have longer hair in most cases.

Do you ever lose the Norwood 7 "horseshoe" at the back and sides? Or is that always there no matter what? cause most charts end at Norwood 7, is there no Norwood 8?

I could try and get an appointment on the NHS, not sure how long it would take atm, maybe worth a try. You mentioned that going bald younger means it's likely to happen faster, does it also means it's more likely to get to a higher Norwood level? Or is that still just the same chance as normal...

Yeah I see what you mean. I can't really find any pictures of my dad or uncle from when they were young, but my uncle said he had a period of worrying about his hair when he was about my age, so I think it can happen earlier. The only reason I was concerned about the middle bit, and about type...

You are probably correct. I think my hair has been slowly getting to where it is now over the last 5 years, as I can see pictures from a few years ago where the temples are thinner. (The weird shorter hair at front is new though). So if it's going to get worse I imagine it won't be too quick...

I suppose they would work if you shaved all of it off, but I can understand not wanting to do that. I mean atm in no where near needing any kindof hair system really, this is more for the future, as I don't really like the idea of applying all these glues to my scalp for years. Do you think...

Is it diffuse all over or just that weird short front bit? As I haven't noticed excess shedding + I think I naturally have thin hair (as in the individual strands are quite narrow).

If it's not A type though then I don't think it is going to get worse necessarily, or at least no that soon, as the next stage should be to start losing hair on top, but I have no thinning or miniturisation there. That's why I'm asking about A type, because unless it looks like I'm loosing hair...

I mean fair enough if that's what you've heard, I've heard differently. I know people online can lie, but that applies here too, but I tend to trust people if they don't have any obvious reason to lie. I have seen some people saying they can get a bit hot, but there are some that use lace...

It wasn't really about the hairline, more about the shorter hairs in the middle at the front. I know the hairline has receded, currently NW3, however that by itself is fairly normal in my family.

Which ones, the vacuum ones? I have seen a lot of people online saying they do, have you tried one? I think they aren't great unless they are custom made.

Where abouts is the evidence of thinning? It's just I do have thin hair (as in the strands are thin), my dad has this as well, I think it's a family thing tbh. I haven't noticed excess shedding, so I think the appearance of thin hair may just be how mine is.

Thanks for the links, that looks interesting, hopefully it becomes more widely available. I wonder how long they last, potentially years if there's no glue and stuff. I suppose if they only made them for women, you could always just buy one of the ones for women, and then cut the hair.

What are full caps? Is that like a complete head hair system if you are NW7 level bald?
