Norwood watching

[shookwun]

Im 19 year old male who is always on the look out for norwoods, comparing myself and scouting out other cueballs.

Any prescriptions for norwood watching?
Lol Btw who else looks for norwoods, every where I go whether im working out I'm always spotting thinners.

Lmao if their was magnum P.I for norwoods I'd be a crowned the norwood investigation of the year.

Yep I am the same way too, I am always checking out other guys hair loss's. They probably think Im queer, but Im really just checking out the hair loss, nothing more. LOL

Honestly it's funny when you look at the guys who have a full head of hair eye to eye and they start looking around them as if they know you scouted their toupee out

I havent scouted out any toupees yet, but I will keep an eye out.

I have never met a guy with a toupee in real life.

I do look at hairlines. I'm about 100% sure that most people who are NW1/2 and not actually balding do not look at any other guy's hairline unless its pretty receded.

Recently one of my friends has lost some hair in the front (he's always had the most perfect hair of any person ever) and he has long bangs and it's thick so its hidden, but there's been a "break" in his hair so he can't perfectly cover up his forehead anymore and I've seen him making a few comments about bald/receding hairlines, I'm sure he's scared of getting one himself.

I have a question but not sure where to post so I will put it here to hopfully get a response.

Oncea man begins balding will it not continue until death or reaching NW6 which ever comes first. If not, where/how to determine the end point. I had read somewhere on here that some people hit a slow down around 45? If so, will the person with a tranplanted hairline an crown eventually have a bald mid section when things resume. I really don't fancy the idea of taking an anti-hormone (finasteride) for 20 years just to keep an island afloat in the middle of my head.

Keepinthehair,

balding is based on your genetics, you need to give the situation an analysis and base them upon your mothers and fathers side. This is an answer only you can find out for yourself. Upon what I believe, certain people maintain a norwood 1-2.5 of which i classify as a mature hair line. In addition to mature hair lines, most people will experience either a crown balding (following itself to the front), connection between crown, and frontal recession, and finally frontal recession progressing towards the crown. It all depends on the male pattern baldness you are associated with. Concerning norwood 4.5-6.0 these are the usually the end points.

Unfortunately if you were to get a frontal transplant, your remaining hair will still be effected with DHT, and the pattern will continue to progress resulting in an odd shape hair pattern, people might mistaken you for alopcia diffuse thinner. The solution to remain having a mid section is to take finasteride, and minioxidol to "maintain", and grow strong hair follicles. (Assuming you have already transplanted frontal, and crown based on your post)

Everyone is affected differently from male pattern baldness, as I said earlier it's up to you to get a good judgment on your family history and see how you will stand out. This isn't to say you will have the exact hair line, but gives you a better insight of what you are dealing with. To my knowledge I would suggest you remain using finasteride, and min if you've taken the ideal approach and gotten a transplant in regards to a remedy apart from a toupee. Then i highly recommend continuing treatment or all will seem that your money for a hair transplant went down the drain. As blunt as I come off that's how it is.

it is up to you my friend, based on these forums people swear by the "BIG 3."
Any further questions, reply here. Unlike 75% of the forum, I communicate amongst my brothers actively

I think almost every man balds eventually, most recede an inch and then stay there for 20 years, it wont be until they are 50 and have their hair cut short that you will be able to look at them and say they are balding. Many women also end up with thin hair in their 70s.

Thanks for the replies,

No I have not had a transplant and would never consider a rug. I am guessing I am currenlty a NW1 with miniaturization of the crown and actual diffuse thinning in the hairline (likely the end of finasteride). I believe after 4 yrs with Min and last 2 yr with finasteride I have maxed out and am in the beginnings of a losing battle. My father began balding in early 20 and progressed to NW6. His father was Norwood 5 at death of 76. My father's uncle was NW0 at death of 90. My mothers father also diffuse Norwood at death of 91. I have read that male pattern baldness is caused by dominant alleles and therefore expect the worst. I have a brother who began the battle in early 20s and is probalby at NW5 after 15 yrs. I am 41 and noticed mild signs at about 37 yr and jumped on board fast, thanks to my father's reminder.
