what Norwood is this ?

[zeddy]

its not styled its greasy and just combed forward i am thinking something like nw3 diffuse ?

i am considering shaving it if you tell me whats better and i am 18

You don't really fit the scale since you look to be diffuse thinning. Hairline still looks intact. Maybe 3A for now.

Jump on finasteride if you want to hold onto what you have.

i had a prescription for finasteride but didn't toke it because i have soon exam and didn"t wanted to risk my school year, so i just bought minoxidil and applying in front maybe i should apply to the whole head ???
and i am planing getting on finasteride when my school is over if i can get my hair a little thicker, that would do the trick to me or just have it like this i guess it isn't that bad

somewhere between nw1 and nw2, idk, I don't really see why it matters

good because you are as far as I can tell from those pics. Certainly not nw3 that is a huge stretch. This is a nw3 click link http://www.hairsite.com/hair-loss/img/uploaded/71306_image56.jpg

Going from those pictures, Norwood 1.5 absolutely nowhere near nw3. I am a nw2 and my frontal hairline is more receeded than yours.

thanks for the link for sure my hair doesn't look like that, so you advice me to get on propecia or not ?
and i am using minoxidil i have no idea if it works been 1.5 months feel like my hair thined out a bit

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

minoxidil afaik can cause a shed at first, as weakened hairs fall out. Honestly, I am a major Norwood spotter, but if I saw you in real life, I would not think you were balding

Thinning in a 3A pattern.

If anyone wishes to hire me for my professional photo editing skills, please PM me.

The OP is nowhere near any of those.

OK, lets just agree he has a full head of hair and move on.

I said he's thinning in that pattern. He's not there yet, but he will be if he doesn't do anything about it.

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

Really we would need better pictures with the hairline pulled right back. I have ever so slightly thinning hair in a norwood 4/5 pattern, which if I lost it all, I would be either of them, but as the hair is still there, I am a Norwood 2.

Sorry posted after your last post!

tbh my hair is pretty thin, even as kid well always, my father is nw5 at 44, he went straight to nw4 at 20 and didn't progressed to much, thats why i am asking here if i should take propecia or not, maybe i am going to stick with minoxidil and takes picture every 3 months if i see some bad progress, will probably bite the bullet
will try to post tomorrow a better picture with higher quality

Well, as of today, it's the only thing that can actually stop your hair loss.

If you want to hold onto your hair, you need to seriously consider it.

Early intervention is critical.

Looks like Norwood 1.5 now with advancing through Norwood 3 a time to fight

 

[Fermat]

I'd say NW1.5 - 2 at the moment.

 

[xRedStaRx]

Slightly past a Norwood 2 gaining speed on Norwood 3.

5-10 mm temple recession and some crown thinning for a Norwood 3 as of yet.
