NW1 on the left side, NW2 on the right side. Nobody's perfectly symmetrical. Wrinkle your forehead. What's the distance between the highest crest and your hairline?

The Norwood-scale is an abstraction (as well as all the other charts). The most important thing is not the pattern, but the characteristics of your hair follicles.

I also see increasingly more articles regarding e.g. mental illnesses - such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder - illnesses long propagated to be genetic (everything is genetic in origin - but, again, can genes be causes in themselves?), where science now show that they may be tightly linked...

I'm not sure if there's any cure for baldness, only potential methods for the prevention of baldness. If balding is on the rise, then obviously there's something about the way we organize, structure and live our lives within our culture (I don't know if you've read it, but balding may be linked...

There's curiously little research on demographics, but here is one article: http://www.hitay.com/en/press-room/press-releases/hair-loss-research Furthermore, have you ever thought about the rate of hair loss in North Korea compared to that in South Korea? They are virtually of the same genetic...

Thus they implicitly claim that genes are in themselves, a cause, that express themselves independently of any environmental cue. Such a claim is obviously both implausible and empirically dishonest. Is it for instance a pure coincidence that hair loss tend to correlate with socioeconomic status...

Hair loss from the entire scalp might indicate Telogen Effluvium. Furthermore, your hair sounds unhealthy - is your diet adequate? The first thing to go is the hair on the head if the body is not properly cared for.

Premature balding might indicate that something is wrong with the body.

If Norwood 1 can be considered a mature hairline, then you're Norwood 1. Your left temple looks more recessed than your right. Pay attention to that one and consider pharmaceutical treatments if you notice any more recession in that area.

It's mixed (e.g. my maternal grandfather was a Norwood 5-6 by the age of 50, while his brother on the other hand was a Norwood 1-2 with normal thinning by the time he died at around the age of 90. My father's a Norwood 1-2 with really thick hair comparable to the hair of Sean Penn in the late...

Update: Decided to dig a little deeper and purchased Biotin and B Vitamin Complex. This proved to be a success as my hair feels really strong again (e.g. losing very few strands in the shower at the moment). Guess I'm not balding then. (So if people can relate to my situation, I think these...

If someone's a Norwood 1 - but with further recession - that might indicate that the person's heading towards a Norwood 2 - and so informally one might deem this person a Norwood 1.5? I think most people who ask such questions want some sage judgement from others more experienced on how their...

Hairline rests one finger above juvenile hairline.
