What Norwood Would You Say I Am? And When Can I Expect The Final Results From minoxidil And Finasteride?

[Pratyush07]

So i consider myself a norwood 2.5 at 19 which totally sucks but since I'm on medication rn it makes me feel better cause in the end at right age i wanna get my hair transplant. So i was just wondering when can i expect the finish/final results from finasteride and minoxidil? Also i didnt suffer from minoxidil shedding does it means it's not working for me??

 

[Pratyush07]

Anyone? Up?

 

[Mr. Prince]

Probably norwood 2 or 3. Do you have a pic from the side?

Closing in on a NW3. So you are correct on your assessment of your Norwood. Definitely, quite aggressive at 19. How is your dad?

Looks to me like it's NW2-3 but closer to 2. Hard to say because the quality is not the best. Either way your norwood shouldn't matter. it all depends on how you feel about it. I would personally start treatment if I were you. Receding that heavily at 19 isn't really a good sign for the future.

I have already started treatment bro I've been on minoxidil and finasteride from last 20 days.

Nice. I hope it works out for you and that you don't get any sides. Do you apply min to your temples only or all over the scalp?

Is it normal to loose more hair than usual after starting minoxidil and finasteride for couple of months? I read it somewhere it's a good sign but idk

From my experience finasteride didn't cause any sheds for me. I just started min so I still can't say anything about that. But from what I heard min shed is more common than finasteride shed. Either way, shedding is a good sign. It means your weak hairs are being pushed out by the stronger hairs.

Bro wdym by closing in on Norwood 3 does it means im already Norwood 3 or i am NW2. 5 still?

NW2.5 like you said. The Norwood scale is based on whole numbers. So you are past a NW2 but not a NW3.
