Born a 1,5. At 24 slowly lost some thickness at the hairline.

Now, 26 and a Norwood 2 with the beginnings of some thinning in the forelock. Have used finasteride for 7 months last year. Shedding quite a bit lately since I am recovering from lingering finasteride side effects.

Title says it, feel like it will be an informative thread.

Started balding at 19.

I figured i'd be nearly cue ball before leaving college, which was my biggest nightmare.

Amazingly my moms genes kicked in and it was a slower diffusion.

By 25 i had a huge hole on top of my head, but i was able to comb over and avoid the wind.

Around a 1.5 up until late 22ish to 23 then it turned into a diffuse nightmare where my entire head was thinning, with my midscalp deteriorating to nothing in about 8 months. Easily on my way to a 5a my hair loss is very agressive.

Norwood 0 to Norwood 2 in less than a year. Heading to NW3 fast enough, will be NW4 in 2 years i guess, and i will have been 19 by then.
