Why do some guys stop at NW3 and 4?

Is it possible that female Androgenetic Alopecia will stop progressing at some point which will still leave the patients good enough coverage?

Seems like it, there's a couple of sisters where I live who's parents are both bald and they have thinning hair, the older sister has better quality hair but both have acceptable hair density to hide and to not look like they're balding to the common person that isn't Norwood conscious.

It's not about being a woman or not.Women like men can become completely bald.You have to see cases in your family.In my family, some are a bit sparse.And some women do nothing or not much.Personally, if I had not taken treatment, I am now completely bald.
The dermatos who say that women can not be completely bald tell bullshit

I know women can go completely bald.
I was just wondering if my hair loss would stop progressing at some point, as no women in my family has hair loss. Even the only bald men (which are on my mothers side) whose hair loss did not progress to NW4+ until the age of 60

In my opinion this is due to the fact that the body must undergo many more hormonal phases than we have already catalogued.

We know puberty, pregnancy and menopause / andropause and that is pretty much it.

Even the "middle age crisis" is sneered at as if it is impossible it comes from a complex change in how the body reacts to hormones.

I have undergone many of these inconsistent "hairloss moments". For five years everything seems cool and dandy. Then one year you see that you lost 50% of your remaining hair in 12 months. What really happened? Hormonal level seemed to be the same. You are using the same medicines and you have the same life style.

Simply, the body changes how it reacts to the same stimuli, and we know so little about it.

You can't know in advance hair loss.You can be a case worse than other people in your family like me.Most hair loss women in my family are light.Many have nothing.And it's true that hormones are not a stable thing.Must adapt his treatment throughout his life

my regimen is depression

depression is low test -> lower DHT -> lower DTH impact on follicles

So you don't use a razor and confidence as your regimen anymore? Also can depression really have such an impact on hairloss?

I never used razor, it is just for lulz.

Day when I'll be forced to use razor instead of buzzcut will be my last day.

You will get cuts, shaving the beard is already annoying now imagine shaving the scalp, this is why having some hair in order to do the buzzcut is the most important last hope for any balding man.

I buzz the beard too, it's easier to get a stubble that way, the clean shave doesn't look too good once you're past 30.

My theory on this is that some people simply have hair on top that is not sensitive to androgens. It really is the only possible explanation.

My Father is a very diffused thinner. He still has maybe a thousand hairs on the top of his head that REFUSE to die off. He is almost 70, and these hairs will fall out, but will regrow with as much vigor as the one's on the side and back.

It's a very good question btw, an extremely important one that I haven't really seen addressed on here.

I would love to hear @Swoop opinion on this. This could have some applications in the pipeline research.

It doesn't looks good with past NW3 anyway. Stubble is the best.

Can't it simply be that T and DHT drop with age, and estrogen increases?
