Yes! When you start wearing your baseball cap to weddings and funerals you're in the nw3 territory.Is there certain things to look out for if you're going Norwood 3?

if you are a heavy diffuser in front, norwood three means nothing.Is there certain things to look out for if you're going Norwood 3? Reason I say this is because I feel my right temple has moved slightly to high to be considered a traditional Norwood 2 but I'm not sure if it's all in my head. Is the recession and thinning for a Norwood 3 a lot more aggressive than transition to a 2? My recession is stable though it has slowly crept up and I'm not entirely sure if it's still moving further now. It looks solid however I still have a tiny bit of stray hair that looks a bit thinner than the rest on the edges of the hairline.. my left temple is considered to be a Norwood 1/1.5 at the minute though this is likely to catch up to the process eventually.

only if you have a shitty facial proportions.Yeah, well, they start doing that at norwood 2.
The human eye is good at noticing eccentricity
Norwood 1.5 at most mate, relax a littleStill think it's a Norwood 1 now? I personally don't. Though I can't tell whether or not i'm viewing it as far worse than it actually is.. there's a high chance that all this obsessing has made me suffer from BDD to a certain degree.
Yeah, you shouldn't worry about it. I know what's it's like to obsess about it and you think it's very noticeable but it's not. The more stress you cause about it the more your hair will fall out.

It is all about perspective. I have BDD and your hairline would cause concern for me too. I started on Propecia while still a thinning NW1(my high forehead makes it look receded to the point of concern) and it's 12 years later on Propecia and it's approaching a NW2. I have strong balding genes on my dad's side. But I could actually have taken nothing and still be where I am now. The only difference is I decided to buy a "finasteride insurance policy" just in case my dad's genes were going to surface. It's up to you if you want to take the same "insurance" for your future. Just don't obsess about something that is very minor. That is where your life can turn for the worse. You now know from some expert Norwood spotters, your hair is better than you realize. I, myself, got the same validation as well and it helped me realize how lucky I really am.Still think it's a Norwood 1 now? I personally don't.

You can try minoxidil for now until you are ready to use finasteride.What do you think I should do in my current situation? Im only 19 so I'm a bit skeptical of using finasteride right now as my body could still be going through hormonal changes and I don't want to prohibit that.
