Am I Norwood 2 or 3?

[Anon587]

Hi there. I'm 18 and I have been cursed with some pretty aggressive hairloss.

I am unsure if I am nw2 or a nw3 at the moment. All the images were taken at similar times, just camera angles.

I am thinking NW3 although I would like an opinion. Thanks.

Your hair is thinning, definitely going into Norwood 3

I would say he's already about an NW3. At least you have great density. Thoughts on a regime?

Get on finasteride asap.

Get on finasteride asap.

That is definitely the most rational option although I think I am just going to let nature take its course. I know the side effects are minute and usually over-exaggerated although If I DID happen to get something like gyno I wouldn't be very happy haha.

I don't want to be bound to taking a pill and other ailments every single day, and ceasing will cause all hair maintained to drop out at a very fast rate.

Thats just my thoughts right now though, in a couple months I might change my mind. I feel that at age 18 you would be more likely to get side effects too, but what do I know, I'm not a doctor lol
