I have 2-3 inch long hair with a NW2 hairline, and if you look at me now you'll think I'm a NW1. Reason is people with NW2-NW3 with long hair will always have hair coming slightly down at the temples because they have nowhere else to go (hence the twisted curl at his left temple). Blacks would be an exception I guess. I can already tell if he had his hair tied back it will seem he's receded just a tad bit.

dismorphophobia
The fear of one's own body
Dismorphophobia ("body dismorphic disorder") is an extremely rare disorder where the afflicted are perpetually unhappy with their own body image. Generally people think that there is something wrong with their appearance, often based on some perceived minor defect. These people will seek repeated plastic surgeries and sometimes non-mainstream body modifications. However, because the problem is delusional, the "destination body" is never found.

IBM is right. Krazyguy should start using 100mg of oral spironolactone, 1mg of finasteride, 5% minoxidil, dutasteride, and nizoral.
If he doesn't jump on all those meds, he's going to be NW7 in less than 5 years :sobbing: .
PersonGuy said:
Give the guy a break. He's on the way to NW7. It's a one way street and the only solution is finastride. Krazyguy MUST start using finasteride ASAP...
Guys, stfu..
It isn't like Kerz is trolling or laughing at your baldness. He's an ok guy, and I can see why he's on this forum. He mentioned his early maturing hairline, which is most likely the reason. If he's an NW1 with no thinning whatsoever, I would say he should leave. However he is definitely a Norwood 2 and he got it early. If he has male pattern baldness somewhere in his close family, it may kick in later on. Besides, he could benefit from something - hair transplant. Where - hairline if he wants to achieve NW1.

i dont want a Norwood 1, i just want to know if my Norwood 2 is a strong Norwood 2 or worse, and i dont have any bald men in my family, im just a paranoid idiot about this stuff, im in no way intentionally rubbing it in, im not trying to be a jerk or anything like that to you guys, hairloss is not a joke to me and i dont find it entertaining to come on here and be like "oh look at my hair its better than yours", thats not even what i do. obviously i worry about my hair constantly and its a horrible thing and i feel bad about it, why would i wanna hurt people that feel the same man, im imagining some people on here are probably self consious about their hair possibly, i know my recession might seem minimal to many people on here, but im self consious about it as well, so i def. dont come on here to rub it in anyones face. I just need reassurance about my hair that its alright, i feel like my family just says my hair is fine for the sake of making me not worry about it, my mature hairline developed fairly early, i was 13, and it hasnt budged since or at least it doesnt seem like it has but i can see a few hairs where my old hairline used to be and it hasnt receeded THAT much and i do believe my widows peak makes it look worse,and to my understanding seeing small hairs at the hairline is normal, but what about what appears to be miniaturized hairs where my hairline used to be, and theres only like 3 of those, and the hair on my hairline although smaller, they are not thinner and it seems alright, i guess what really bothers me is if its normal, why did mine mature so early? the derm told me it was proably because i hit puberty early (which i did), but i dont see an over abundance of hair in the shower or anything, my hair still grows relatively quickly and i feel is still very thick, the only thing that bothers me is my maternal grandfather, i never met him, he died when my mom was like 10, and no one saw him since he was like 30, and the only pics i have are the ones i have posted, he has no temporal peaks which scares me, but my grandma said he wasnt balding, but i dont know, my dad did develop a mature hairline at the same age as me and his hair is still amazing at 53, my brothers turning 28 this year and hes not balding either, no guy in my family is bald or was balding, the only missing piece of the puzzle is my maternal grandfather...i posted a picture of him and no one really said to much, do you guys acutally think im balding or thinning at all? or does my hairline look strong with no thinning?like, im sorry if you guys think im rubbing it in, that is NOT my intention, just seeing friends my age with kids hairlines and reading how the hairline matures usually after 18, but mine happened at 13, i just wanna know what my hair will be like in 5-10 years, like is the maternal line really a big factor in hairloss? like my dads maternal grandad was a nw3 but he did keep that till his death, but my dad retains his Norwood 2 and so does his brother, i just seriously would like you guys to just level with me and be honest, do i need meds or not, obviously i got some responses like "hair transplant is the only option" or a list of like 20 meds to go on, i know ive pissed off many people on here, and im sorry alright, i never meant to, so i can understand why some people would post stuff like that, but in all honestly, do i need meds or is my hair fine?
and yes, im actually 19, turning 20 this year. and heres my hair, 2 months growth, shaved it on feb 2nd i believe

Kerzguy, you did hit puberty early I can tell you that much. I turned 20 last february btw.
You don't need any meds, because all you've got is mild frontal loss (hence mature hairline) meds like finasteride are for people who are thinning on the top/crown, and you are not that, at least not now, and dude...you just said you have no bald people in your family. You keep mentioning your maternal grandad. Well, LOOK AT YOUR MOM'S BROTHERS, or maternal uncles. What are they? If they are bald, then you have something to worry about, like me. My maternal uncles are all bald, which sucks, obviously. Some of my paternal uncles are thinning, but my dad is perfect with a NW3.

my maternal grandads brother had good hair, but that means nothing though, i just know that every single guy on both sides had good hair, just dont know bout my maternal grandad as i never saw him and dont have many pics, by the looks of it his hair was the same as mine, but minus temporal peaks(triangles on the side of head), my mom has no brothers, but my grandmas brothers are all nw1's, so clearly not taking after that
the chart is
maternal side -
grandad - Norwood 2-2.5 possibly at age 27-30
great uncles - Norwood 1 till 85(grandmas brother), grandads brother was about a Norwood 2 at 30
my moms sisters son - 30 years old, Norwood 1.5 ish
paternal side -
grandpa - Norwood 1 till about 45, then nw2 till he was 91
uncle - 57 years old Norwood 2
dad - 53 years old, Norwood 2
great grandpa - Norwood 1
dads maternal grandpa - Norwood 3 from like 40-80
my brother - 27 years old Norwood 2
