You're a norwood 2 with thin hair in my opinion. I don't think you're balding in any particular pattern. If you grew it out more I'm sure it would look a lot better.

To me it looks like he has DPA which is still Androgenetic Alopecia

It's possible, still need to see how his donor zone looks and compares measurement wise though. He also said that his hairline was thin in his 20s and didn't want to show it, it's possible that his hair is naturally lacking in density and has a very fine caliber. He has said he hasn't seen much difference on dutasteride and finasteride which also is peculiar.

No, I feel like its DPA. My hair is fairly thick I think, it just looks thin up top because of how long I've been diffusing. When I was in my 20s there would be piles of hair underneath my bed that accumulated over several months. Its just been a slow process. I think the incident where I didn't want to reveal my hairline was because the hair had recessed some and because it so already minaturizing (another phenomenon, like diffusing, that I didn't know about.) I found it difficult to style my hair even then but I assumed it was because I just had shitty hair. I was pretty clueless. I don't know why the finasteride and duta don't seem to be helping, its soul crushing that they are not. I've probably been minaturizing for too long. The only hair that feels healthy on my head is in the typical safe zone - my neckline is diffuse and minaturizing because of the retrograde, my sideburns seem to be thinning, temple points retreating, and major diffusion And minaturizing up top, with crown maybe dipping down some. I even feel lately like I can pull hairs from the top of my sides, that that area is minaturizing and diffusing as well. Thus the despair and hopeless feeling. And yet you guys seem incredulous or that my hair loss isn't "that bad." Its confusing.

It's not bad in the sense that you could get god tier hair status from a single transplant procedure.

But dude, I am diffusing in like a Norwood 6 pattern. Maybe 5a. I don't know I just don't get it. Maybe my photos have been too crappy of quality to show the extent of the loss. Are you guys operating off the assumption that I am going to keep the hair I currently have up top for the forseeable future with medication? Cause thus far that seems unlikely. I'm reluctant to take and post more though cause each time I see my hair under a flash I feel a kick to the heart of despair. I buzzed my hair WAY down to a 1 the other day and you see the sides are dense, the entire top is thinned out. And the hairs that remain up top are weak and pull out with little effort.

Sorry to tell you but all hair looks like that when its buzzed short. If you want it to look thick get the frontal third transplant and grow it longer, you'll no longer be able to tell the difference between sides, back and top. I promise you if you get the transplant you'll never worry about your hair again until you are in your 50s.

"Permanent" solutions don't exist. Your girlfriend will die one day. Your entire family will die. People will get cancer and die. Sea levels will rise and people will lose their homes. Everyone you know will be dead. Does this mean we should never bother leaving the house? Hair transplants are just stealing back a little bit of time in your youth. If you want to keep feeling like sh*t because you don't understand the illusion and impossibility of permanence then just accept your situation and do nothing, but I promise you you'll not stop feeling like sh*t.

I mean that's all there is to it, get the transplant and feel good for a decade or so until maybe you need another one, or live your life in stress and b**ch and complain. There's a solution, so take it. And to anyone who thinks transplants are a bad idea because they aren't permanent, the sad fact is that YOUR LIFE ISN'T PERMANENT EITHER. Fix the f*****g problem, you only live once.

No I get that, you're right. Here's another shot I had a friend take. It looks better than I thought it would. This is buzzed down to just above a 1 under bathroom light. No flash though and I'm not facing the light. At first I thought it looked ok but to me I see an enormous amount of scalp that would need to be covered.

sh*t that's worse than your other pics. Definitely go the FUT route and get a consult with someone skilled in high norwood cases like Hasson + Wong.

Well I wish I could feel redeemed but I don't. Happy now sunchyme? Tee hee hee norwood 2, right?

So what norwood pattern do people see in this photograph? Anyone else with recommendations? I guess picture quality can make a big difference and you've got to be careful with internet diagnoses. Also might be a good idea to not post other people's pics without their permission, particularly for the purpose of mocking and belittling them.

Your hair loss does look worse in your latest pics. The first pics didn't show your hairloss as being that advanced.

That's what he does. Nothing new. I was the one that gave him a dislike on the comment he made where he posted your pics. I don't read much of his stuff but have seen many times where he asks for pics only to sh*t on the person when they post them. Yet you will notice he never posts any of himself. It's easy to rip on somebody when you don't have to worry about getting the same in return.

this is why you post good pictures from the get go so you don't get 3 pages of people accusing you of overreacting lol

Perhaps, but a) I didn't actually post pics some sadistic douchebag* did b) I wasn't soliciting opinions about how bad my hair is, I know how bad it is, this is the impact section and I asked what people do when they hit the wall with frustration and sadness connected to hair loss c) I like that there's an implication that suicidal ideation is ok as long as the poster's hair appears "bad enough" to the cabal of experts here on the site and d) if such experts really have any expertise they should understand diffuse loss and how deceptive it can be when hair is grown out.


*I was thinking last nite, even though this is the internet after all, but how fucked up of a person do you have to be to tell someone who you don't know and haven't interacted with before who's expressed that he's feeling suicidal to go jump off a bridge and then troll and mock him. As I said, I know its the internet and so forth but f***.

It's bad, but when you bring up cosmetic problems (or any problems) on the internet and don't put out good proof such as decent photos people aren't going to take you seriously. It's not good to mock people, but it's impossible for people to help if they don't actually know what the problem is.

Still think you could get a great result with FUT in a megasession.

lol i posted them because you make some thread about how sad you are because of your hair lsos but post a pic of your hairy leg instead. how the f*** is that meant to help you or anyelse?

i was just curious how bad your hair was. the way you described it i presumed you to be a 23 year old kid with nw6. but your a grown *** man with decent coverage still. get over it.

like the other guys say you have plenty options. BUT you dont need perfect hair. your a grown man. a little concealer would bring you back to a full head to give you some confidence whilst you figure out your next move.

anyway i only insulted you in my first post because you f*****g insulted me in you op post before you edited it

i ask for people pictures because i am curious of their situation and what exactly they plan to do about it. ITS CALLED RESEARCH MATE

i have aggressive hair loss so the more i see and know about other peoples situation the better

if you didnt mock me i wouldnt have even bothered with this thread lol

lol you clown thats what i do is it?

your f*****g obsessed with me man

i dont post pics because i want my identity hidden retard, although i have posted some pics to others privately

like i said i only mocked this moron because he mocked me first, and deserved by posting a picture of his leg rather his head LOOOOOL. you then go on to say what a waste it was to keep it hair short. what a f*****g useless moronic comment. how is that meant to help this guy?

he keeps it short because it looks good. its called style mate. something you clearly dont have, which is all very ironic considering your avatar lol

i could clearly see in the pics i posted he has diffused so growing it out long would look like sh*t probably, though not terrible for his age. keeping it short when diffuse like this is the best option.

your too stupid and clueless to give fashion advice dude, so dont bother
