I noticed a recessed hairline in my senior year of high school, did nothing about it for 2 years and it progressed a little more and stopped. I heard about finasteride at this time and got on it in attempt to go from Norwood 2-2.5 to Norwood 1 or better. I stayed on for almost a year and it stayed the same. I got...

We know in the case of people who start early and then stop at NW2/2.5/3 for whatever reason. If the guy started at 45 and died at 60, you could say that he didnt have enough time to go NW7. However somebody that starts in his 20's and lives to his 70's and is a Norwood 2/3 at his death, probably...

I think some men have follicles that are really weak against DHT in the temples, while the rest of the follicles are DHT resistant. Also in the case of my father(and hopefully me), my hair in the center comes down a little bit further than where the juvenile hairline usually is, but we both have...

I observed it in my father, who progressed to Norwood 2.5 in his early 20's. Significant temple recession, but strong forelock and thick hair. Today he in his late 40's and he is...Norwood 2.5. No Meds, no transplants. Nothing. I have observed it in other people too. Then again its possible that what I...

I think making an arbitrary cutoff of a mature hairline is silly. The gray area between NW2 and 3 is confusing enough as it is. A mature hairline can be anything from a Norwood 1.5 to 2.5, imo. It all depends on if the hairloss will stop there or not. It all depends on which follicles are DHT...

Hard to tell from that pic. One thing though, is that most people on this forum are pessimistic and over state hair loss. It could be a mature hairline that will stay like that for 20+ years or it could be early balding. My dad has the same hairline and has had it since he was like 22 and is...

WTF indeed. He seemed to have my hair loss. Thick *** hair all over including crown, but receded temples. All though his temples were actually a little worse judging by those photos. I guess its possible his hair loss stabilized and he got a hair transplant or he wears a piece. Either way it gives me hope.

Btw I wanted to say I agree 100%. When I analyze and reflect I feel like I am at a cross roads. That if I continue down the path I am on, it will be towards becoming a villain(for illustrative purposes). This self loathing, that has consumed me draining me of my humor and my true personality can...

The reason my hair loss bothers me, is that when I picture myself as the man I am and want to be, it is with hair. The self image changes is what is crippling me. Its not so much about what others think, as I wouldnt really want to associate with somebody who would let genetic hair loss...

I hate to say it bu tpretty much everything except for the propecia, Rogaine and Nizoral is a waste. Keep it to those 3. And again, I dont want to be the bearer of bad news, but making significant progress with meds on a slick bald N6 is highly unlikely. Hair transplants are also likely out...

word, thanks Ill keep an eye out.

whats the name of the soap you use btw? Id imagine it couldnt hurt and woouldnt be too expensive.

I saw your pics. You had magnificent regrowth dont get me wrong. I am not trying to take that away from you. In fact you had more regrowth than one could usually expect at the level you started at. That being said, you are where I am now. Thick *** hair all over, except the temples and corners...

Well it seems that rather being an idea as it was decades ago, the technology actually exist now. The problem is perfecting it and then getting it through trials. Then the problem becomes the price involved. I have no doubt that hair multiplication will be around within 15 years at latest...

LMAO. Thats funny. Dont get me wrong, I am a master Norwood spotter. I can pretty accurately predict which kids will go bald, who will recede, etc. I dont have bias towards anybody though.
