The inventor of Norwood scale was a chimp!

 

[s.a.f]

Its pretty simple to me:

nw1) Full head of hair with low straight hairline.
nw2) Higher more mature hairline slightly curved with otherwise full coverage.
nw3) (The start of real noticable hairloss) Temples receeded right back.
nw4) Frontal third completly gone right back to the bridge/vertex area.
nw5) Same as nw4 but with loss of crown hair aswell (only bridge hair remains ontop).
nw6) Nothing ontop slick bald but with hair remaining high up on the sides sides and fairly high at the back.
nw7) Complete loss as nw6 but also about an inch further down on the back and sides (hair now only growing to about an inch above the ears)also the loss of temporal points (hair on the sides closest to the eyebrows).

Of course there are many variations such as diffuse ect but the scale is remains a good way of judging the general extent of someones loss.

Perhaps someone could post a pic of some celebrity at each stage.

Its the actually pics that make it hard to follow though, I mean, if you look at the nw2 pic overhead, it looks alot more receded than what most people seem to consider what a nw2 actually is....

yea nw2 baffles me a bit coz to me that is beyond a mature hairline. if anything I would say nw1 is a mature hairline from those pics its clearly not a straight hairline :

Since the whole Norwood spotting has set in i have noticed quite a few people that have a similar hairline to joe stevenson, which to me is clearly not a 1.

ok ill have a go at RL NWs coz im lovely:

NW1



Fred Ward aka Rocco Dillon from the Naked Gun 33 1/3, he's 65 btw, luck y mofo

NW2



Dominic West aka Det. Jimmy McNulty from the totally awesome The Wire this may be a NW1.5

NW3



Kiether Sutherland

NW3 (diffuse)



'Hardest kiddy in the world' Fedor Emelianenko

Norwood 4



Walton Goggins aka Det. Shane Vendrel from the the Shield

The 2 on the chart looks more like what people seem to consider a 3....
We need a better chart!

Yeah, there´s not such thing as a Norwood scale if you are a hair loss forum guy.


See the NW1 guy up there??


Well, it is not really a NW1. Socks and I can see a "bald notch" there, and some receeding as well.

 

[s.a.f]

Its the overhead shots on the nw1 and nw2 scale that are deceaving.
That joe stevenson is a freak! I've only ever met 1 person in real life with a hairline like that. I think it looks weird like some neanderthal man.
Fred ward (1st older guy in pics above is a true nw1) but many people never start out with a hairline that low. I was always nw2 even as a child.

To the general discussion about the Norwood Scale. Yes, the scale is basically bullshit. First problem is that everybody is receding in a different way. Some have an U-Shape, others a V, for me my whole hairline is creeping back. The problem about diffusers is clear to us all.....

So, when I am talking about Norwoods I am rather judging the degree of one´s hairloss. A Norwood 1 is a fine straight hairline with a little bit recession on the temples (too bad I don´t have a pic of mine from a few years ago, since it was so beautiful and would have been a perfect example......), a Norwood 2 is obvious hairloss, a Norwood 3 means that the temples are gone, a Norwood 4 means that the hairline is gone, for a Norwood 5 the crown has developed into a bald spot, a Norwood 6 has only a little bit of hair left, a Norwood 7 has nothing left.

Doesn´t work for diffusers, of course, but it is how I read the Norwood Scale.

 

[s.a.f]

Norwood 7's still have hair around the sides and back just not up to the top of the head like nw6's.

i agree with saf i do think that looks ridiculous, and i love low hairline as much as anyone, but that just looks stupid. like if you gave me the choice between this guy's hairline:

and this guy's:

I'd go with Brad's any day, even though it's like half an inch to three quarters of an inch higher than the first guy's. It just looks more normal. Like Dr. Armani says when going by the Da Vinci hairline placement, half the distance from hairline to eyebrows as from eyebrows to chin. That's where Brad's is. The guy in the first pic is like one third the distance so it looks stupid. Obviously if I had to pick between having the first guy's hairline or being completely bald, I'd pick his, but I think I'd take my current hairline placement over his as well.

Seriously, I admire his hairline because it so low and straight, not because I consider it to be aesthetical. I would choose it over my own fucked up hairline, of course, but would prefer a Brad Pitt like hairline at any time.

LOL too low a hairline (or small a forehead, any way you like it) looks at least as freaky as a NW4 IMO. God I would hate to have like a 2 cm forehead :lol: . I wouldn't even trade it for my long-*** forehead.

If i had his hair i would pull forward and grow very long in the back. Something like Taug's avatar.

This napolitano andrew have this stupid hairstyle.
