(pics) New And I Am Losing My Hair, Where Do I Start, Where Do I Fit As Far As Norwood Scale?

[het-yaom]

I noticed something on my face had changed in the last 6 years or so (Not sure what), this is until last week when my niece pointed out to me that I was balding in my crown.

I checked it out in the mirror and it's true, I used to have a lot of hair, in fact I used to have to get haircuts twice a month when I was 30, some time after my mid 30's I started to be able to go without a haircut for two months and still be able to manage my hair.

I am forty and I still have a lot of dark hair, very thick beard that grows in a few days.... however it is visible (to me) that my hair is a lot less abundant.

I have attached some pics, I'll let you all be the judges.

My questions are:

1. What would be the best treatment for me? (I noticed around four to five years ago at the age of 36 more or less, a small sport of hair in the middle of my forehead had fallen giving me an uneven hairline), then it stopped for a few years, but last year the thinning is back.

2. Will my style of thinning lead to complete baldness, I am forty once again.

3. What type of thinning do I have (I can't seem to fit on the norwood scale)

You don't fit on the traditional Norwood scale. Your hairline is NW1 but you have some crown thinning. finasteride should work fine to restore your hair at the back.

Would you say I am qualify as diffuse thinning?

Would you say I am qualify as diffuse thinning?

No. Diffuse thinning affects the whole top of the head. You have mild crown thinning.

WHY CAN'T I BE f*****g NORMAL AND NOT BALD SEVERELY AT AGE 20 AND ONLY START AFTER MY f*****g 30'S LIKE THIS GUY OVER HERE, f*** THIS SHIIIIIIIIIT

Andy, diffuse thinning can be present at just the crown and/or hairline. In most cases diffuse thinning is where you lose density but still are not slick bald. He does have diffuse thinning in his crown area and at the hairline. This pattern is similar to mine where the whole hairline moves up/back. I hate this pattern because your forehead looks longer so your face looks like Herman Munster. I would rather have a thick forelock with a NW2/3 temple.

I am 40 and it's just as traumatizing bro. 20, 30, 40 this sucks.

Would you say that considering my age (40) maybe my hair is gonna hang around or will I go completely bald?

Do you have any examples (images) of guys with our style of thinning?

Are we the kind to completely bald like Dr. Phil, or will we have huge foreheads?

I don't think you will be as bald as Dr. Phil. Your hairline may recede higher and you crown might start to bald but I don't think you will hit a NW4 anytime soon. However, in some cases some men do lose alot of hair in their 40's and 50's so your future is unknown. If you take finasteride, it will act like a time machine and cause your hair loss to happen much later than it could.

Well in my opinion, the best treatment for you would be.

1) Start applying Jaborandi hair oil by wheezal (an homeopathic oil) - it will control the hair fall. and grow new hair follicle.
2) start consuming the Indian gooseberry on daily basis.
3) Take proper sleep and don't take much tension.

Let me know if you have any question.

No, just... no. It's not the same, and don't even try to say it is. You don't know what it's like to start thinning badly while you're still in high school, with people pointing it out constantly. You don't know what it's like to not be able to hold your head up high and actually look your age. Balding at 40 isn't something people think is out of the ordinary, but balding at 20 certainly is. They're not remotely the same thing. You got to live through your youth looking normal & not caring about your hair (probably trying out all sorts of crazy styles), not looking like you're 20 years older than you actually are and having to resort to elaborate combovers just to pass as normal looking.

Losing hair in your teens is definitely the worse case scenario but how you react to losing your hair for the first time will vary too. If you are insecure and have low self esteem, losing hair can trigger a traumatizing response at any age. Nobody wants to lose hair in their life time. Unfortunately when it happens, you have to cope and accept. However, your experience of how other people react to your situation will be the worst the younger you are when it happens.

I agree with that to an extent. However, I still find what he said incredibly ignorant and, well, incorrect. It's still not even remotely the same thing, it's galaxies apart.

I would say you're a norwood 2A with crown thinning.,
