My dad is bald and all his brothers are as well. He’s Mexican with some Italian in him. So I guess there’s some exceptions.
At what age did your dad go bald and what is his Norwood level at a young age?

Here are some pics of my dads hair when he was 21. What Norwood does he appear to be?

You’re doing very well by your family history standards. You’re a Norwood 1.5. Maybe you haven’t inherited the gene
Isn’t Norwood 1.5 considered balding though? I’m Norwood 1 on left side and 1.5 on right side I’d say. Would you also agree he was nw3 at age 21 then?

Yeah he’s prob a Norwood 3. Most men bald, it just depends on the speed. You’re going very slowly bald if you want to think about it like that .

Yes, your father was close to a NW3. You would still be considered a NW1. My dad was worse than your dad at around the same age.

Should I be considered safe in terms of balding? I’m starting to think I might not have the gene as I should have probably be receding heavily by now. Did your dad have recession mostly?
