Hi,
English is not my first language, so sorry for that.
One thing you usual notice with old men is that most people who are balding won't become a norwood 6/7. The vast majority of balding men are probably between norwood 3 and 5. I think it was 5-10 % that had norwood 6/7 patterns ( i'm not 100% sure).
However if you're young, as most are who are active on this forum, it's difficult to estimate what your final pattern will become. Many people therefore are probably because of this more reluctant to take medicines for their hairloss early on, because they're not sure whether it gets much worse or not.
I'm a 24.5 year old male myself, and you could say i'm a norwood 2. Unfortunately, i think i'm thinning in the vertex. If you're looking at my family history, you would notice that there aren't allot of people with hairloss. My father, who is 70 is a thinning norwood 3, while only 2 uncles are at most a norwood 3vertex, while the other is perhaps a norwood 5 ( as a end pattern). The rest all barely have hairloss. My father's dad and my mother's dad didn't really have allot of hairloss either ( My mother's dad was a norwood 3 on the front ). I've been receding since last year btw and i'm not seeing any loss of hair while washing or on pillows. I am using nizoral and saw palmetto though.
I'll show you some pictures of my hair later.
What are the chances, for someone with thick hair, not allot of male pattern baldness in their family, that their potential future norwood 3vertex becomes a norwood 5.
I'm asking this, because a norwood 3vertex would be allot easier to fix with hair transplants, while a norwood 5 ( even if you have thick hair, like i do) probably is uncertain.
Like i said, i'll post some pictures later.
