Seniormido Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Does severe hair loss in early age mean always progression to Norwood 7 later in life or not always ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 5, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2021 It seems you make one of these Norwood 7 doom threads at least once a week. No one can tell the future, Norwood 7 is rare, but if you have relatives with that level of baldness, then it could happen. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

It’s my main worry 😂 I have one uncle with Norwood 7 and most of the other relatives have less degrees !

Senior Member DenverBuff1989 Posted January 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I would say you can never be 100% sure where you will end up. You can use common sense as judgement tho. Someone who starts balding at 18 and is a Norwood 4 by 22 is likely in for a bad time. And conversely, someone who has a full head of hair and just starts noticing minor temple recession at 37 is nothing to freak out about.

Post pics of the rear of your head (under strong lighting) and tell us how many years you've been balding. I'll bet we can give you a reasonably good estimate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Westview Posted January 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Since you asked, I'll be perfectly honest with you, that does not look good for you. I'd say almost for sure you're headed for a NW7. You do look to have strong sides though, so perhaps a decent result using combo of scalp and bodyhair is not out of the question. Maybe you can post pics of the sides as well?? It'll give us a better idea Edited January 5, 2021 by Westview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted January 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2021 Your crown dipping like that would probably mean your going to end up a Norwood 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seniormido Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 The sides are now thinning from the top back only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Westview Posted January 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2021 Sides dont look good either. Very diffuse thinning. Again, if you have good beard and chest hair you might be able to pull off a BHT/Scalp hair result 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 5, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2021 If I was a betting man I could see a Norwood 7 reality in the future based on the crown, but again this is all speculation.

Senior Member Britanium Posted January 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2021 Just now, Seniormido said: If the sides and the crown drop too much this will need more more grafts ! Exactly. And I honestly don’t think you would have enough to cover it adequately. Yes BHT has come far but it needs some scalp hair too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Westview Posted January 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2021 You also appear to have retrograde alopecia, which makes things even worse. I would contact Dr. Umar and see if he can help you. He has helped thousands of NW7's using BHT and scalp hair, so don't give up hope. Go do a YT search on his work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JohnBob Posted January 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Crown looks like it could turn into a NW7 but the sides not (so far). Edited January 5, 2021 by JohnBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member deitel130 Posted January 6, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Are you on meds? How is your beard hair? You can try consulting with Eugenix they do a lot of high Norwood cases it would still have to be majority scalp though. Pictures sometimes can be deceiving depending on the lighting and camera quality. Have you consulted with any surgeon's and are you open to surgery?
