Big 3 vs developing NW6

[Fanjeera]

How many people have actually beaten NW6 with big 3? Is it possible at all? I have read the forums and I see no hope for horseshoers like me. Is it even worth the money to try?

Your pics show a receeding hairline, that's all. Horse shoe??? Anyway, I don't think the big 3 can ever fill a completely bald Norwood 6, but if you're just thinning in that area it can help a lot.

Its a lottery I've seen people in their 20's who were NW3 and thinning out fast in the entire NW6 area, and they've thickened up and held steady for 5+ yrs. Unfortunatley it seems you're either a responder or you're not.
But for real NW6's its a one in a million shot.
Therefore you should think of the big 3 as a way of hopefully keeping what you've still got and not progressing so if you're already bald NW6 then it'll only help prevent you from reaching NW7.

That's right. At the moment I'm still receding and thinning, because there are quite much hair left. So I should have a chance against the disease or at least the try is worth it.

I'll never have the hair that I had at 18 from the big three but I don't look NW6 anymore
either. Just wish I'd knew 10 years ago.
