Regular Member SilentUser Posted December 2, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 2, 2022 hard to tell, but looks more like NW 5 pattern to me. But you still have super nice hair. Stick to the meds, they can do wonders for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BurnieBurns Posted December 2, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 2, 2022 Appears to be NW5, but it may go further to NW6. NW7 would be unlikely given your age. On rare occasions it can still happen later but it's very uncommon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted December 2, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted December 2, 2022 Thank you for sharing such a variety of pics of your hair both wet and dry. The best thing for you to do is to continue with your two months of finasteride and minoxidil for a full 12 months. Two months is far too early to see benefits. Be religious in your use of the meds for a full 12 months and I'm sure your hair will improve.

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) @honey21790, To be honest, the fact that you’re over 30 and still have a full, thick looking head of hair with only moderate thinning, I don’t see any evidence that you’ll become a full Norwood 7. Now that said, you do have some thinning throughout the top of your scalp so if you want to attempt to slow it down or even stop it in its tracks, I suggest getting on finasteride ASAP if you’re not already. I’d have to agree with another member who said that without non-surgical treatments, you may end up developing into a Norwood class 5. But right now you seem to be in a pretty good place where non-surgical treatments such as finasteride in conjunction with minoxidil could really help you. I hope this helps.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 2, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 2, 2022 I doubt you’ll progress to Norwood 7 at 32, most Norwood 7s are completely bald by 32.

Senior Member gillenator Posted December 3, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 3, 2022 Do NW7s run in your family history such as your father, grandfather, uncles, older brothers, etc?

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted December 20, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted December 20, 2022 For a Norwood 7 you really have to have lost the entire crown and have low parietal humps. You're fine @honey21790. 👌 1 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
