Will diffuse thinning always lead to the slick bald look? I have diffuse thinning on the crown area, does that mean that I'm 100% definitely going to be slick bald one day?

I have it also in the crown, and I wondered this as well.


With male pattern baldness no one knows. If we are thinning in our early 20s diffusely, it´s really probable we´r going to be NW7 without treatments in not so many years.

But there are exceptions, many people thin in an area and then, nothing more happens. Or the progression is very slow.

See John Cleese, the tall guy from Monty Python. He had a bald spot in his twenties and he has mantained his hair in relatively good shape since then, with a very slow advance of his male pattern baldness.

A maternal uncle of mine had hair at 45, with just little recession. Now he´s 47 years old and he´s a NW7, he lost overnight all his hair.

Many people keeps a good amount of hair through years, even noticeably thinning, without going slick bald.

Some others go slick bald in the blink of an eye.

Some others suffer a progressive thinning going through the different phases of the Norwood chart. I think this is the most common balding process, climbing up the Norwoods, based on my observations.

male pattern baldness is unpredictable. I personally prefer not to torture myself thinking in the possible extent of my future baldness.

I think that, whatever it could be, it´s going to be much better if I keep doing my treatments.
