What Norwood Am I, 23yo. Tips $ Tips Are Appreciated

Hi guys,

Which Norwood do you think I am? Also do you any supplements/tips&tricks you would recommend? I currently do scalp massages and some dermarolling.

I know my hair is not perfect, i do have quite high temples, I am just still unsure if I was born with this or I am receding

 

[Jake1996]

Does anyone have any good tips or tricks that is not meds?

This must be the beginning of balding. I would say about Norwood 2 hairline. It means that this is a good time to begin treatment, and you can keep great hair. Finasteride works but can cause serious side effects such as reduced libido or even impotence. Minoxidil does nothing to stop hair loss; it just gives a slight, temporary regrowth and can cause the face to look worse. Needling and massages are often ineffective and time-consuming.

Try Zix. It is a natural, cheap alternative to stop hair loss:

Good luck.

that's not norwood 2, that's norwood 1.5 at worst, also his hair is thick and dense, he's not balding yet

I agree that his hairline is not yet at Norwood 2. I meant it was nearing so and will probably reach it unless he begins treatment. I saw in some earlier posts of his that his hair between the hairline and crown had very mild, diffuse thinning.

His hair looks much the way mine did when I started balding. I think it is good to tell him to be aware and start treatment now and move on, instead of worrying and coming to this forum all the time. I wish I had started treatment when I had so good hair, even though I am happy enough about my own hair.

Thanks for the answer! I am really looking more for natural ways or at least not hormone tampering ways of dealing with this. I am not very worried about my crown or thinning. It’s only high temples that run in my family.

How long ago did you notice your hairloss and how did you approach it? How’s your family history?

Get a life. You're 23 and heading down a dark road my friend. Remember me saying this.

Nobody is perfect. I have lost friends who obsessed over small physical imperfections. This way of thinking will only get worse as you age.

I'm willing to bet you have very little experience dating. This is not healthy but you are a product of the instagram era.

When I was your age I was living in a another country with a beautiful woman before the internet poisoned civilization, this lookism sh*t will turn you into a unic.

Ah h

I understand. On the first picture in the following thread, your hair seems to be slightly thinning where you can see your scalp. It could be just the light, but that is the spot where I have the most thinning:

You could wait and see whether your hair stays as it is. I suggested Zix because you seem to constantly worry about your hair. It is not healthy.

Ah yeah, that’s just because my hair is super straight, so when i have a buzzcut you always see my scalp with the blitz on

But I Will try Zix! I know man, every where I go I need to check my hair, and I know a lot of people even compliment it, I just can’t seem to shake the anxiety. Thanks for being supportive and answering tho!

I know man, I just have this weird anxiety. It is probably because I see a lot of sh*t on social media....

The worst part is that I get a lot of girls, but I can’t seem to be comfortable in a relationship! Maybe it’s not my hair, but my confidence....I get a few girls a week off tinder, but this tend to be one night stands or at the very best a few months. I would like to gain the confidence to stay in a healthy relationship.


Again tho, thanks for the answer, it means a lot
