Longest lasting NW3, EVER!?

[IrishFella]

Bryan Brown, Australian actor, this is him in 1988 in the film Cocktail

And this is him a couple of years ago.

:shock:

Its basicly the same as a mature hairline, I would'nt really call that a NW3.

Some people are genetically programmed only ever to be a NW2, 3, 4 or whatever. There is a misconception on these boards that a receding hairline or a bit of crown thinning will absolutely become a NW7 if not treated.

 

[s.a.f]

Exactly :agree:
I've seen middle aged men with bald crowns and NW1 hairlines.

Check out Daniel Day-Lewis and Christopher Nolan, both have had NW3 hairlines for well over a decade. Lucky mofos.

My dad's 60, and in the last thirty years (since my birth) he seems to have gone from Norwood 3 to Norwood 3V, so I can certainly believe that hair lines can rain stable-ish on some people without assistance.

How is that a NW3? He has a better hairline than I do in that top picture and I consider myself a Norwood 2.5 with diffuse thinning up top.

Once you're at the norwood 3 stage anyway, if you have no crown loss by then, then you can be pretty certain you'll never progess to norwood 6/7. That's what's kinda reassuring for me; not that reassurance is worth anything.

There's another scene in the film were his hair is wet and slicked back, and while super thick, it looks like a Norwood 3.

Yeah not everyone who loses some hair goes all the way bald. Brian Clough had this hairline throughout his managerial career

His hair got worse as he got older, but the hairline didn't change. And Phil Glenister has had this hairline for ages too.
