Can Anyone Tell Me What My Norwood # Is?

[JTR]

I am 24 and I have just started minoxidil.

I have no idea what my Norwood # is. On a good day its a 1 but on a bad day it looks like a 3.

These pictures were taken with flash on a rather bad hair day.

Any imput as to the # would be apprecated. I need to know where I stand going forward.

It looks like your hairline is a N 2.5 or 3. Your overall thickness and forelock is great though and I’m jealous.

You really need to edcuate urself on the norwood scale.
That is not a norwood 2.5 or 3. Its a nw1.5-nw2. He doesn't have that much recession.

Norwood 2 ish. Not yet hit the mark. Best luck!

This is what it looks like from the front ( taken with flash when damp). I have no loss at all at the back.

The most serious area of concern for me is the middle-left bit. That's gotten thin in the past 18 months/2 years. Everything else has stayed more or less stable since I was 19-20. I got a very stressful job about a year ago and that may have been a contributor. My father is an nw5 but he didnt start losing his hair until his 30's and it started at the back and moved its way up.

That's 1.5, 2 at most.

between 1.5 and 2. Your hair looks thick and great though. Best time to start with treatments. However, minoxidil will save you most probably just for a couple of years max. Do your research about finasteride and consider whether you wanna take that in the long run

It’s advisable to start finasteride before minoxidil.
