Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 14, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 14, 2021 Interesting we always hear guys say, my dad isn’t bald, as a way to stay in denial. I thought it would be interesting to know what your dads level is and your own. I’ll start my dad’s Norwood II at 63 and I’m Norwood VI at 35. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Captain Haddock Posted January 14, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 14, 2021 My dad's 59 with a NW 2! Got way more hair than I did last year. Hopefully I'll be a NW 0 in a few months time. 1 My Journey: NW2 @Eugenix | 1388 Graft Frontal Restoration | Dr. Arika Bansal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member 1978matt Posted January 14, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 14, 2021 NW5.75 at 68. He was a solid NW3 until slow deterioration between age 40-60. Hair type is Fine. I inherited mother's coarse hair, not his. Her Dad who passed before I was born was a NW5 to early 70s. Dad's dad was at least a NW6 up to age 84. He would totally bic-it so difficult to tell, and passed away 32 years ago. Brother is a NW3 at age 44 but with a bit of a sh1tty hairline developing. 1 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I inherited coarse hair from god knows who, my father has some of the finest hair I’ve ever seen, and my mother is on the finer side. My sisters hair thickness and density is insane. She could probably fill my entire head, and it wouldn’t make a dent on her density. My brother is 43 and his hair characteristics are very similar to mine.

Regular Member Enhancer Posted January 15, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted January 15, 2021 I actually searched to get an accurate comparison at the same age: Me - NW2 at 35 Dad - NW1 at 35. NW2.5 currently (55) Mom's dad - NW3 at 35. NW5 currently (75) Dad's dad - The wildcard, died at 33 and cannot determine hair status as his hair was always buzzed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted January 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 15, 2021 NW6 here same as my dad at 64. Exact same pattern, although it's weird because his MPB really kicked in his 40s, had a full head of hair in his 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
