Regular Member LookingToLearn Posted December 24, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted December 24, 2012 Am Curious as to what Norwood Class you feel President Lyndon Johnson fell into: I ask because my hairline is similar in shape to LBJ's, but my hair is much much fuller in general (I'm 22). However, I have at the very front of my crown the little thin hairs that Johnson had, like this pic in terms of the miniaturized hairs at the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted December 24, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 24, 2012 Welcome to the forum Mr. President. You have only given us hairline shots. Without seeing your crown it is difficult to say what level of loss you have. Also, you slick your frontal hair back over your mid scalp - so it's impossible to say for sure. I'd highly recommend having Vice President Humphrey take some overhead and crown pictures for you and then we'll be better able to assess your hair loss.

Regular Member Lotsofhair Posted December 24, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted December 24, 2012 haha funny aaron! Good one. NW1 : excluded (i guess everybody would agree right?) NW2 : IMO excluded due to lack of density NW3 : yes, which is just fine when you're 60-70... but it seems like even as a young man he had a very high hairline and his corners and temple points (!) were already gone. NW4 : possibly, because he does do a comb over (not in the classic sense : left to right or right to left, but from front to bottom). Which works really well for him as he has still a somewhat strong front. At first I thought you were going to address Obama's hair status... and I was thinking : what? Obama is a strong NW1-1.5! Lucky him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which works really well for him as he has still a somewhat strong front. At first I thought you were going to address Obama's hair status... and I was thinking : what? Obama is a strong NW1-1.5! Lucky him. what exactly are temple points? I ask because with my own hair it seems the hair by temples my temples have receded or thinned. Most men have very sharp, well defined temples--Mine are dull and sort of thin. They are still very visible, like LBJ's, just not sharp and dense. At the front, I have the same little miniature hairs that Johnson has. My hairline is sort of a very broad U shape. One thing I have noticed is that the hair in a small area just above my sideburns is thin on one side. The other side is normal. But the thin side is not TOO thin--but thin enough that it makes it look like I have a gray bit of hair there, if that makes sense. My fiancee, a cosmetologist, has noted that my hairline in the back, like the hairline at the back of the neck--at the very bottom--is thin. It is not overly noticable and is confined to the very bottom of the hairline on the neck. But she said my hairline has been like that since I was little, in childhood pictures of me. I am 22 now. Howver, I have very thick hair, in that it is very dense and wavy. My fiancee says I have "too much" hair in that it is hard to style due to the density. In my case it is hard to tell if I'm simply worrying too much, or if I'm simply getting to my mature hairline, or if I'm on my way to hairloss. If I end up with a class 3 Norwood in the end, that wouldn't bother me terribly--I'm more worried about anything beyond that, especially a 5-7. I don't consider someone with a Class III Norwood to be "bald"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member michaeljames Posted December 29, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 29, 2012 Great Post! On first perusal of the photos he looks like a Class III. But then one notes he wears the longer and comeback with I bet 'a little dab will do ya' Brillcream so popular to that generation. So he could have enought thinning on top to be a Class IV. But he looks good and distingushed and your tax dollars...better said your parents...hmmm...maybe grandparents paid a stylist a pretty penny to sport the distinguished locks he had until he left this world.
