Confused as to waht Norwood I am.

No pic but if you want to see it look into the Is it toolate thread if you wanna search.
Here is the scenario. Front is pretty thin and the hairline has receded and I have a diffuse strip down the center of the scalp BUT is does not go to the crown. I am not losing anything on the crown. Just a diffuse landing strip down the center and it is not that wide maybe 3" and stops before the crown. Most people recognize me as having a receding hairline and thinning in the front but have no idea about the diffuse down the center. What Norwood am I really?

Please find the link yourself and post it if you want anyone to take the time to help you.

I doubt anybody is going to look for you.

Yes, agree with what Cassin said. It's basic courtesy to take a couple minutes and find the pics and put them in a thread in which you are discussing your hair and asking people to find out what Norwood you are.

Don't be lazy

Here it is but I think my description is more accurate, I have the forward comb over going.

Looks NW3-ISH

Looks like a Norwood type 3a to me (a variation of the standard Norwood scale).

It actually looks better now since I let it grow for about 3months without a cut. NW3 there is still a chance. Thanks for the feedback

I can see thinning through in the IV area though... You certainly need to be on Finasteride, minoxidil, and Nizoral now if you want a chance to slow/stop this.

I am on finasteride and nizoral and soon to be revita. Rogaine would be worth it if the regrown hairs would be kept with finasteride but they will not and losing any regrown hair in a matter of a few months would be worse than keeping what I have or losing it slowly. In my opinion. I don't really like taking finasteride either but that is all we have right now.
