Coming Up With Age Ranges And The Acceptable Level Of Hair Loss

Do these seem right? This means that at these ages, these Norwoods are socially the norm/acceptable. Agree or disagree? What would you change?

Ages 16 - 20: No hairloss
Ages 21- 25: Norwood 1 - Norwood 2
Ages 26 - 35: Norwood 2.5 - Norwood 3
Ages 36 - 45: Norwood 3.5+
Ages 46+: Norwood 4+

Completely arbitrary. It's down to one what one considers personally acceptable.

But I’m talking about the average person that isn’t dealing with hair loss.... like how people perceive balding and the norms of balding at different ages. This isn’t as if you are the one balding. This is from a full head of hair/women perspective of balding men

I totally agree!

Seems pretty accurate.Though I don't like anything past NW2 under 30 years

I would say on the average( although varies with different ethnicities) most guys at 50 are around a NW3V so your numbers are too high from 36 plus. Where I live most hispanics remain NW1 to NW2 well into their 50's and even 60's. I think by 35 years old most hair loss patterns slow down alot.
