Hello all
First post, so apologies for the clumsy thread title. I was just wondering if anyone is in a similar position to me? I don't know the terminology that so many posters expertly use on these forums so I'll put this in layman's terms. I can't tell you where I am on the Norwood scale, all I can say is that my hairline isn't what it used to be, and the hair is slightly thinner/finer than it was about ten years ago. I don't have any balding at the crown and no receding at the temples. I use Alpecin but not regimentally and will still use other bog standard thickening shampoos like L'Oreal, Pantene etc - not used Alpecin this year. I don't put any products on my hair or take medication.
Anyway, I said to my mate that I reckon I must be one of the slowest balding men in the world as I am sure my hairline started to deteriorate in late 2003 and has got very slowly worse since then. My mate says that's not possible and that if you started receding sixteen years ago you would be totally bald by now.
Is it possible to be balding for so long without being bald??! Anyone else experiencing a similar progression?
