Hair Loss More Common Than We Realise?

[Illusions]

I've started to notice that many of people who I thought had great hair actually have hair loss to a certain degree, granted it may not be as aggressive as the hair loss some of you guys have, it's still noticeable.

Examples:

So this guy obviously has amazing hair and is a thick NW0. A few months back I seen this guy had a thin crown from one of his videos, but assumed it was just me over-obsessing. However recently another guy from whatculture has started mocking him saying he's got a bald spot and is going bald ect, so it must be very noticeable.

There's also many Youtubers/models who have thinning hair and still make hair tutorials and have nice looking hair. Example:

So is hair loss more common than we realise? If you stop paying too much attention to your own hair and started paying more attention to other guy's hair, I can guarantee you'll find some guys who you thought had perfect hair actually have hair loss to some intent.

I see balding people all over the streets. Most are denying it i guess. But i spot everyone, srsly. I am not only obsessed with myself. But as long as you stay under NW3 or even 3.5 non balding ppl will never say you are balding. Especially those ones who didnt know you before.

Its like ppl who work at the dentist. They will always watch your teeth and can see if they are fake and stuff.

But I dont really care.. Even if 99% would be going bald some time in life.. I would do everything to be in the 1%.. Hair is chaning ones face just too much.. I love my hair. Its just like your clothing style, it expresses yourself.. Thats why many think that balding ppl are just lazy and unhygienic..

Agree 100%, especially with the last paragraph. The point of this thread was mostly for those who are thinking they're in the minority in society losing their hair whilst everyone else has a full head of hair (I've been there myself), so they can realise, even some guys who have amazing hairstyles are going through the same thing we are. They may but they also may not be on treatment or browsing forums like we are, who knows? I'm noticing many people who I thought had great hair are actually going through/went through balding/thinning.

I agree. Also "extreme" balding is common too, at least once you reach your 40s, 50s, and 60s. I work in a store and I see scores of guys with Norwood 5, 6, and 7 hairloss each and every day. Retrograde alopecia too. People have tried to tell me that the likelihood of becoming Norwood 6/7 is low because it's uncommon but my observations out in the world tell me otherwise.

I get your point, but the guys in these pictures have minimal loss which is barely noticeable to the untrained eye. Not quite the same as Norwood 2+
I will say this though some people can notice very minimal amounts of hair loss so it can be noticed not just by you.

Agreed.

What I want: NW1 (NW0 looks unnatural imo)
What I would be really really happy with: NW2
When I would clearly would lose my motivation and hope: NW3+

Right now I am NW2.5 i believe.. Oh dear god, I dont want to reach NW3 ever.. Give something please.. I can feel the pain of others it's just so sad that so many ppl have to go through this..

I dont want so seem unthankful about life.. Hell i get sick like once every 2 years or something.. Overall I am a very lucky man..

I have definetely other cosmetic problems, but hairloss is the only thing I really need to get rid off..

Yeah NW0 look a bit unnatural. NW0.5/1 is looking great for me.

I would be in hell if somehow i would be a diffuse thinner. These guys are forced to jump even 4 norwoods in year. Sad.

Would say it's probably common in 30+/40+ men (Norwood 5/6/7). Lots of guys just shave it off.
