How fast does it happen?

Have you guys ever seen someone balding fairly young with something like a Norwood 2 and just keep it for many years or at least lose it so slow its hardly noticeable (without meds)? Can someone bald young but keep their crown and just see their hairline recede naturally with age, like some kiefer Sutherland ****?

You never know brah, some people sport NW2 for the rest of their lives while others can get to Norwood 5-6 in a matter of months. I ain't taking no chances.

I've seen a few friends get recession in their late teens and stop at that. One is probably a norwood 3 and has been for ten years. On the flip side I've seen people go up a few norwoods in a year or two.

Sometimes you can predict it, sometimes you can't. Its not worth taking chances though

Yeah I don't want to mess with it. I met a kid at 17 who was a nw2 and his hair looked short and unhealthy. 5 years later he is literally slick bald. If I could keep a ****ty hairline through old age I'd be happy even if I had to do meds and treatments

I've also; seen guys go bald at 19. And guys recede back a bit and maintain without meds for 10+ years.

Everyone is different, but I would say just you asking this question and being on this forum, you have a good chance of catching it before it happens.
