Zlatan Ibrahimovic stops covering his nw4a and comes out, shaves his head

[justbeconfident]

Ibrahimovic has been wearing same hairstyle for years, seemingly same as Gareth Bale he had long hair at the forelock and temples that he pulled in the pony tail at the back to cover his bald spot at crown and midscalp.
You could also see his hairline recessed significantly and density was dropping.
Eventually he gave up and shaved.
It's brutal how much better he looked with hair.
Thoughts?

Now

His hair has always been like this

2006

 

[czecha]

he still looks good tbh

 

[Raphael13]

since he completely shaved his head it's hard to tell if he is a nw4 or not. I think his a nw3. He still has good density on the hair and his crown (as far as i know) doesn't seem to be thinning.

His hairline recessed farther and his density was dropping evidently

He looks like like sh*t bald tbh, better than if he'd have egg shaped head, but much worse than with hair

Judging by the angle and the point from which his hair grows out at the forelock, it seems like he's NW4 at least

Havent seen single pic of zlatan with thinning in the crown, think he was simply a reeceder thats it

When he shaved his scalp?
Acording to my theory, repetitive scalp shaving promote common alopecia, take care Mr Abra...
Tonsure is a good example

He looks alright either way. Think the picture was photoshopped though, because there's the shadow of his ponytail at the back of his head.

And that isn't a NW4A, he'd be unable to have such a ponytail with a NW4A... This is a NW4A (Mick Fleetwood)

He'd be forced to have a slightly better ponytail than the one Fleetwood has in this pic if he was a NW4A:

 

[Chill dude]

So many people on here don’t have a clue about the Norwood scale. Ibra for years has been a Norwood 2.5. Norwood 4 would be like fellow serie A player and former team mate, Esteban Cambiasso

If Zlatan is a NW4A, then Patrick Stewart is a NW4000

Are footballers not allowed to use 5aris or something?

 

[Will Be an Egg in 5 years]

Are you retarded? He's not even a NW3 yet. His temples are receeded for as long as I remember. MAYBE he's been covering a thin top for years, and in that Juventus pic it does looks like he was starting to diffuse at the top.

Maybe he had some procedure during this time he was injuried.

I don't know the rules in europe, but I remember that Romario was caught in the anti dopping due finasteride use. He actually ended his career before planned because of this.

Speaking of the norwood scale if your a diffuse thinner ans your hairline hasnt recessed how can you possibly know what norwood you are they need a new scale for diffuse thinners imo

Classifications of Patterned Hair Loss: A Review

Patterned hair loss is the most common cause of hair loss seen in both the sexes after puberty. Numerous classification systems have been proposed by various researchers for grading purposes. These systems vary from the simpler systems based on recession ...

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Although a large number of classification systems are available today, all of them have certain limitations as they either do not describe the complete evolutionary stages of hair loss or are too detailed for practical use. Hence, the clinician should assess all of them and choose the classification system as per his/her own convenience and requirement.

An example: The BASP classification is a novel stepwise and universal classification system for patterned hair loss regardless of sex, which is based on observed patterns of hair loss including the shape of the anterior hairline and the density of hair on the frontal and vertex areas

You are looking at what pattern you will diffuse into. Usually it will be NW6/7 if it doesn't stop at thin hair. In diffuse you are going your scalp becomes visible overall but in normal you recede with constant thickness and you diffuse. Usually it comes as a combo of diffuse and classic recession with crown.

He looks like an arab wizard not gonna lie but in all pics you posted he is NW2 max. He literally has slicked back hair in those photos and NW4 is nowhere visible, and you cant cover up a NW4 there is simply not enough hair to cover it up.

Pure bullshit drawing when you posted this when we have pics where he is NW2 in Milan. Its like you contradicted yourself.

So with diffuse thinning you will always receed? Diffuse thinners technically have hair all over scalp but look more bald than receeders as the hair looks super thin - How can one know if it doesnt stop at thin hair? Guess you cant, no?
