my prediction is that you cant go bald. The pictures are not the best and it would be helpful to have better pictures of your face. But from these photos and what i can make out of these poor angle photos, people with this facial sturcture dont recede past a norwood 1.5. You dont have top tier facial structure and from these photos your chin does not look the best but your face as a whole looks like the type of facial structures that protect you from balding. But i will need better pictures.What do you guys think about my situation going by the proposed theories?
I was just watching a stream and noticed how big this guys galea is. You can still see how big his galea is even in the areas where there is hair covering it.

Even if i phototshop (yes i know...bad editing) a lower hairline it doesn't hide his gigantic sloped galea. View attachment 146492View attachment 146498 View attachment 146499
Now look at the non balding man in the stream

This is not a coincidence.
not only does this guy in the photo have a bigger forehead, his galea still looks bugger. Look how the middle aged man has a much lower hairline and the top of his head still does not look big, the other guy has a big forehead and his galea still slopes upwards even past his hairline. Sometimes people with a low hairline will have the appearence of a big galea but people with high hairlines + a big galea are destined to recede.Yeah. It's not. Today I saw a group of boys and the ones with more receded hairlines had bigger galeas.
Just because he has the wrong headshape it doesnt mean he'll lose his hair overnight. It takes time. Also he is above norwood 2 in every picture you posted@Mitko1
It's still pretty funny how everyone has their own theory of hair loss. If I would have to bet on something I'd probably go with the scientific consensus.
Even if your theory was true, every single balding man's hair is fucked including yours(there is no way to change your skull), even if he got castrated and used extreme regimens, but unfortunate for you even weak anti androgens work for most people. You think scalp massages help with hair loss, then post some research with actual hair counts or with at least a macroscopic view. Oh wait, there isn't any. Also blood flow theory is ancient in hair loss theory, it's nothing new and all proposed treatments connected with it will fail.
@Ritchie
Here is a younger Toni Sirico. He had a lot of years with his "bad" skull shape for keeping hair and he maintained his density and hairline for a decent time.
Here is his NW2
View attachment 146592
From this angle it looks like 1.5 but I think its also NW2.

And here is he when he hit his NW3
View attachment 146593
He is losing his hair in all 3 pics btw.
Not everyone has a "NW1" hairline as you classify it. Everyone has their own NW1 which differs from person to person but some look very similar. Norwood patterns are only a generalization, everyone has a slightly different pattern if you look at it.

Wtf in the first picture he is definitely not above a Norwood 2 and I think in the second picture the same is true.Just because he has the wrong headshape it doesnt mean he'll lose his hair overnight. It takes time. Also he is above norwood 2 in every picture you posted
In the first picture he looks like a norwood 2 imo.Wtf in the first picture he is definitely not above a Norwood 2 and I think in the second picture the same is true.
In the first pic I would not put him above 1,5.In the first picture he looks like a norwood 2 imo. View attachment 146597
In the second picture you can see his hair is middle parted and he is frauding his hairline. Anyway what norwood would you put him at? he is definetly not a 1. Christopher moltisanti is a norwood 0, Bobby Baccalieri is a norwood 1. Which puts Paulie in the old picture at a norwood 2.
natural hairlines are almost always rounded. Look at christian bale's wonky hairline, is that his natural norwood 0?@Ritchie
Not everyone has the same NW1 hairline. Some people are born with NW2 looking hairlines but it is actually their NW0. Norwood scale shows the hair loss from your baseline hair without hair loss. You have a naturally very small forehead which is normal for your race and it is more uncommon among whites.
There are also factors of forehead width and height which doesn't make Norwood progression clear cut. I know a guy with a massive galea he is his 50's with no noticeable hair loss. The guy with long you posted could be NW2 even depending on how do you set his baseline. But he looks NW1.5 or it could be his natural hair line, you need pics of his hairline when he was a teen preferably. Some people are born without temple points and some have them, its not clear cut.
sure...i started a conversation with you. I keep it private to stop trolls. On other sites I kept my dms open and was trolled by a lot of idiots and i will not make the same mistake again.Wow, this kind of does make sense. I have been a lurker on this site for a while and have been seeing these 'craniofacial threads' for a couple of months and thought it was bs because of Henry Cavill, David Gandy, and a lot of other male models who are balding. But now i see the connection with 'horizontal faces' after seeing that whole list in one of the earlier pages. Literally everyone i know like that has their head structured in that certain way has a good hairline. I was kind of worried about alopecia for a couple of years now but I am still young (24) and my right side has been a little different from my left since i was around 19 but it hasn't progressed at all since then. My left side is really round and child like while my right is straight. I do have a square face like the men that were used as examples but now I am quite worried because I do not have a 'flat galea' like you keep mentioning. The top of my head is not exactly big but its not flat, maybe my small forehead is causing it to look this way. I dont want to post my pictures here but maybe @Ritchie can you take a look? I have tried to message you but your profile does not have a 'start a conversation' symbol like all the other members. Can you help me out please?
hey ritchie, i can't respond to your DM because i am a new member. Can I quickly post them here and then edit it out? I dont want my face on the internet. Can you quickly take a look at it and then i can delete it? I will post the link and can you just click on the link straight away and i can delete the images straight away without anyone else seeing.sure...i started a conversation with you. I keep it private to stop trolls. On other sites I kept my dms open and was trolled by a lot of idiots and i will not make the same mistake again.
