Senior Member hairbank Posted June 7, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted June 7, 2006 youngguy24- IMO........while there are many things that can help indicate what your final stage on the Norwood scale will be, "Where will I end up being on the Norwood Scale" is kind of the $64,000 question. One of the key factors involved is time. I had my first HT at age 38 after 15 years of gradual hair loss (I was around a Norwood 4). My Dad also experienced loss at about the same rate as me, however, he lost his hair from front to back...........I lost my from back to front. I believe, if you allow enough time, the ultimate loss pattern will have formed which aids in devising a plan of attack. Otherwise, it's really a guessing game.
