  1. Thanks for the great advice Mahhong . Yes I have modest goals. I'm current a NW4/5 . I'd be happy to even get back to an NW3. But based on the general consensus, I think Im going to rock the shaved head for a couple more years before deciding what to do.
  2. David, thanks for the reply. Very very helpful. I don't mind a high hairline, I just don't want to be bald. What are the hair characteristics that would make a successful hair transplant for a NW6?
  3. Thanks for the answers so far to all. Here is an album of where I'm at. Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet I put a filter on a few of the pictures to highlight the thinning, because without the filter it just looks like normal hair. Luckily my hairs are fairly thick and there is a good color match. As mentioned, my father and uncles are NW6. No one progressed to NW7.
  4. Yes, I have shaved my head. It does not look totally terrible. But I think its fair to say I felt like a 8.5/10 before balding. And I think about a 5 or 6 now. I'm not obsessed with getting a full head of hair back. I just want my face framed and a decent coverage, even if not super dense. The men in my family are generally NW6. I don't know any NW7's in my family.
  5. I'm frustrated by the contradicting claims of HT docs, including those on this site. I am a 25 year old NW4/5. I tried propecia but it gave me sides and I stopped. I spoke to Hasson Wong's rep and he told me that while they could get a good result, they would not do any work without me taking propecia. Then I spoke to Dr. Lindsey who told me that taking propecia isn't required and he wouldn't want me to take it. I've heard some people say 25 is wayyy too early for a transplant. Then I've heard others say that 25 is just fine as long as I'm willing to maybe get another one down the road. Im struggling to make sense of it and I dont want to be taken advantage of by a doctor who is just trying to make a quick buck. At the same time, I want to not be bald anymore. How do I sort this out?
