What Norwood am I

[HopefullyNotBald]

I am 21 and noticed I’ve been losing my hair for a few years now.

I don’t know on the Norwood scale where I would lie

im taking finasteride and oral minoxidil to try and stop future hair loss and maybe grow back some thining areas

Looks like a diffuse Norwood 5 pattern

Have you had your Dr run labs for you? For someone your age it can be thyroid disease iron-deficiency anemia, excessive stress, malnutrition or vitamin D deficiency.

Unlikely. We can see that the OP has an MPB hair loss pattern.

NW2 with some diffuse thinning.

I was thinking the same thing…it’s very wise that you started effective hair loss meds.
