hairloss at 14 is impossible,the youngest age i heard of was 16..it is normal to shedding 50-100 hairs per day

Impossible? No. Extremely unlikely? Yes. I started losing my hair at 14 in the typical receding pattern. Now im 20 and a norwood 2.5. I am on treatments since 19 though.
EDIT: Just to add "Neyo" that rapper/singer started going bald at 13. It can happen any time during or after puberty.
@hairlossat14 If you are Norwood 0 there is no chance in hell you are losing your hair! Maybe its some mild telogen effluvium but nothing more. Your family history shows you may be bald when you are alot older, maybe 40s but right now you will be fine. Stop worrying and enjoy being a teenager
I miss those days..

wtf Neyo started balding at 13?! thats some crazy sh*t,i started at 20 and i thought that this was ultra fast.At least age is not indicator what your final pattern will be.My neighbour started balding at age 31,and only in 2 years he went from nw2 to nw5.

@baldingat14 Alot of stress? You literally just answered your own question!
If your family has no history of diffuse hair loss then i can guarantee you that you are not going bald.. at least not yet.
@northpole1 Yeah sucks bad for him and me haha. Maybe your neighbour was on treatments and they just lost effectiveness or he quit. I imagine it is possible to bald that fast at any age, but more common in people who get male pattern baldness early. Mine has been gradual but funnily enough ( feels bad man ) finasteride actually accelerated my frontal recession, still on it but im also on oral minoxidil and it seems to be going in reverse now, however slowly.

No it isn't... Its like a NW1.15-1.25
Norwood scale starts from NW1
You should take new pics under sunlight and send it to us so we can evaluate again...

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure there's miniaturization on the front of his hairline.

I said the same thing on his original post, he didn't take too much into consideration except I am this norwood and "What shampoos are good for treatment".
Shampoo's dont do squat...

Tru, but he's only 14 so his options are very limited.

You are sadly mistaken, my little brother started to lose his hair at 13 and was a NW2.5 by 16. I got him on minoxidil the past 4 months and he has recovered pretty well. He started puberty around 11, I don't know if this has anything to do with his early hairloss.

The crown is worrying me...maybe consult with your GP?
