What Norwood am I?

[UK1]

I finally posted some pics of my situation from when I began treatment, they have been added to 'my story'. I was hoping that a few of you could give me your opinion as to what Norwood I am? I'm guessing at between 2 and 2.5 diffuse?

yeah id go with that. im having the same thing as you with the minoxidil thickening. my hair feels good after i apply it but i havent seen any new
growth yet. its nice to kid myself that its doing something for a couple hours in the evening but it feels just as sh*t the next day.

when will all of you moron's understand?
the norwood scale is no good,it shows a few possibble situations but the thruth is everybody goes bald in a different way and most of us just arent in the scale
there is no Norwood 1.5
there is no Norwood 2.5
its just a list of possilbe situations a balding man can be in

I'm aware that hairlines don't follow the exact shape of the Norwood scale but I'm happy with a close approximation.

Yes it makes hair that was once limp easier to shape, it says in your regimen that you've been on minoxidil since 05/05, you haven't seen any regrowth?

 

[Sean68]

no thats when i started with finasteride and nizoral, i started with minoxidil in april and switched to spectral in december.

the answers still no though!

Yes, but I wanted to grow it out so I could see how the medication affected the texture of my hair, previously the hair was becoming very dry and falling too awkwardly to style, since I have grown it out I have noticed a big difference in that department, it's no longer falling out and the foam is making it easier to style, if you look at my last post I have updated it with a pic that shows my hair more recently, it is with no product.

Norwood 2.5

Norwood 2.5

well that's interesting i havent seen any Norwood 2.5 in the chart
i wonder why is that?
oh i know its because you just made it up

:roll: If you are a nw2, you dont just wake up one day and all of a sudden you are a nw3. Its gradual. Obviously, nw2.5 is between 2 and 3. Cop on lad

 

[Guest]

yeah seriously roki. i was just making an estimation

just be glad i didn't say Norwood 2.25, because that's actually what i was thinking- in between nw2 and nw2.5

 

[Guest]

They are lying to you. You are NW10.

Yeah but badasshairday neglected to mention that his Norwood estimation was given in binary(where 10=2) so you actually are only a Norwood 2 in his opinion. Thanks for bringing some math and variety to this thread, badasshairday.

Cheers.

Hehe.. nice one guys, at the point that I took those photos I was losing a silly amount of hair and my head was constantly itchy.. I think it would've been a definate NW3 by next summer without treatment, fingers crossed I may be able to sneak under the radar for a little while.

Roki, what scale do you go by?

i dont go by a scale
sure some people follow the description of possibole hairloss stages norwood puted together but its not a scale
there is nothing like NW2.5 or anything like that and it dosent cover all types of baldness aswell
take me for exemple i havent lost a milimeter on my harline but im thinning on top so that would require jayman to somehow decide based on god knows what that i am a Norwood 1.7 or whatever
hairloss is not something you can put in a scale
you could have to count the hairs or something
