    Anyone else shocked, and surprised of how diffused they actually are?

    Yes and it was eye opening. I thought I had just a very receded hairline like a Norwood 3.5 kinda. Buzzed my head short to see I had major thinning in a Norwood 5 pattern, especially in the back. At 22 kinda made me rethink my life
