Hi guys, just wanted to start off by saying im 26 now and i'm a little concerned about my hairline, with that being said i've always had a bit of a weird hairline, possibly cause of a weird head shape (it goes outwards at the top) here is my juvenile hairline age 17:
I've noticed as being early 20s and certainly by 25, my hairline has recessed somewhat, measuring it today it is approx 2/3rds to an inch above the highest forehead wrinkle in the temples (middle hasnt moved), im aware this could be a mature hairline, what idk what norwood this classifies as, it look more recessed depending on how it is styled, possibly cause of my weird head shape:
Straight on, almost looks NW1:
From above can look pretty bad NW2+ (looks worse tied up)
Progression through the years (first 2 aged 19 (even then looks curved, lighting is factor too tho), then last year age 25 and this year age 26), hard to tell if its changed this last year, dont think it has, but could be microscopic progression)
Family history:
As for my family history, my dad is NW6 now age 57, but i think he was already NW3 by 30 it's hard to find pics, heres one i do have (aged 30), all the other males on this side of the family are bald grandad, uncle, i think all by there 30s:
Even my mother never had a straight hairline, looks more like NW2 looks like mine now, she always had fine hair but lost density after menopause, no hair loss before that as far as I'm aware, I'm unaware if her hairline changed at any point,
My grandad (mothers dad), he was always known for having great hair, he's 83 and is somewhere around a NW2a-nw3a, i think this loss occurred later in life tho, it's hard to tell if he turned norwood 2 early or not, his hair is brushed forward in every photo (man has had the same haircut his entire life), but yeah even now he has no crown thinning and great density except the front but give the guy a break he's 83. As far as im aware there is not much male hair loss on this side of the family.
What do you guys think my chances are? what norwood am i? mature hairline? (i know its all speculation cause male pattern baldness is random, but what do you guys think? just wanna hear opinions), might take finasteride if i find the corners getting deeper, i have measurements after all), Thanks guys
