My Hair Situation Is So Strange - Please Advise

[brahmabull117]

I have hair texture and density (on the sides) identical to my mom's hair. She has very thick, wavy, dense hair. The problem is I've lost a lot up top, which is like a 2-3 hairline but diffuse loss and a 4-5 crown. My mom's side has fantastic hair - my grandpa was a NW1 at 50 and my uncle is a NW2. I don't think either are diffusing


My dad's side is an NW6 which leads me to believe that I will have his pattern but he has very thin donor area. My donor area is the thickest and most dense my doctor said he's ever seen (I'm 29).


What do you guys think will happen here? Am I going to end up being a 5-6 but with great donor area? Could I stay around a 3-5 long term? The weird thing here is I dunno anybody on my family who is a NW5. Everybody on my dad's side is a slick bald NW6 and my mom's side is all 1-2s

Sounds like your pattern is 5/6 but you have good hair characteristics. No one can say how long it will take for your pattern to emerge.

will my donor area stay like that long term?

My dad is a NW6 but his donor area sucks. My Doctor said I had the best donor area he's ever seen. I can't believe I didn't get my mom's pattern...my grandpa was a legit NW1 at 50. Would have saved me 15-30K in hair transplants and god knows how much money in finnasteride and rogaine and nizoral shampoo

When did your dads donor area go to sh*t? What age was he?

Take your doctors words with a grain of salt.

no dude my sides are a fukking zoo - incredibly thick and dense. If i had a NW1 pattern, I would have near male model hair

my sides are very high too, they're about a good inch or so into the top area so I think I have an NW5 pattern (6s have much lower sides than me)

my dad has no idea anything about his hair. he's been bald as long as he can remember
