What’s Your Dad’s Norwood and Your Own?

[Melvin- Admin]

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.

My dad is a strong NW7. I'm a 6

Do you have brothers? Are they bald?

[Doron Harati]

My dad is 73 with NW6.5

If I hadn't a HT I would be NW4, but at my age my dad was NW5, though my younger brother by 6 years is NW4.5 - 5, at his age I was NW2.5 - 3.

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. 

[hairlossPA]

My dad is NW2 at age 63.

I would say I'm easily NW4-5 without transplant at age of 29

My own father was in his 90s and remained a Norwood 0 his whole life. Where as I was a Norwood 6 by my 30s !

My father is a norwood 6. I was a norwood 5/6 in my early 30s.

We’re in the same boat, except my dad has minor recession. Still, he’s in the 90th percentile of men his age, and he doesn’t have a single grey hair.

My brother is in his early 60s and again does not appear to have any loss.. So it’s just me 😂

Dad's a NW6 at 62. My maternal uncles are around Norwood 4 and they're in their late 40's. Maternal grandfather had full head of hair until 85. 
I am norwood 3 and recently got a hair transplant.

hasn't lost a hair at 62. I started minoxidil at 16. Bit annoying really!

Genetics really piss me off sometimes. I’m literally the only one in my entire family with hair loss. My dad’s uncle was a Norwood 6, he’s where I got it from.

My Dad is 65 and is about a Norwood 4-5. Im 29 and a Norwood 5A. Grandad on my mothers side was a Norwood 7.
My Brother who is 32 is probably Norwood 1-2.

No brother, just one sister.

My grandfather had a full head of hair, and so did my great-grandfather.

Go figure

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.

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.

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

What about his uncles? Or your uncles? 

[shami26]

Me: NW5 at 27.

My dad: NW6 at 60.

Grandfather (Dad's side): NW7 when he passed away.

Grandfather (Mother's side) is a NW5.

My uncles and cousins (both sides) either have a full head of hair, NW3/NW4, and two uncles went NW6.

[aaron1234]

My dad: NW2 at 65

Me: NW6 at 40 (though I was NW6 in my 20's)

🖕Mother nature!

To add to the suspense, those are the only men in my family, other than my uncle (mom's brother) who is adopted.

Damn we’re the same bro, I remember my dad telling me it was stress. There’s no way I could be going bald, cause he’s not bald and my older brother wasn’t balding at all. Mother nature is ruthless.

[Al - Moderator]

My dad is maybe a NW2 at age 90. I was a NW7 by age 30.

 

My dad at age 90 vs me at age 22.

 

 

 

[UnbaldEagle]

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.
