What am I in the Norwood scale? (Pictures)

[Helel]

I haven't been here in a while. Some people here probably remember me. It's going to be 2 years since I found out that my hair is falling out. I now have the money to purchase finasteride. I was afraid before because I thought I would lose hair instead of gain (on top of the side effects)but now I think I am ready to finally take the plunge. To prepare myself for what is to come, I decided to bite the bullet and shave my head. It was the best decision I ever made. I now know what to expect in the future. I was getting really depressed seeing the 100+ hairs on the sink every morning. My hair is going to grow back so it's not really a big deal.

Here are some pictures. What am I in the Norwood Scale?

Thank you.



The last picture is what my hair normally looks like. The picture was taken 2 days before I cut my hair. I want to preserve my bushy hair style. In order to cover up my receding temples, I was doing a bit of a comb over. I'm 26 by the way.

Well can't really see the top of your head with longer hair so it's tough to make a ruling on what would look better, but it's difficult to tell what Norwood you are. The lighting in pic number 2 isn't doing you any favors. I would guess that it looks like a NW5 pattern, but that's just an educated guess.

I would say diffuse NW2.
