Take a pic with the hair pulled back

Does that work, that's me really pushing it back hard, i feel like because i wear it up my hairline is always exposed anyway. Does my hairline look like it has any thinning?

A norwood 1 is like a flat hairline. You definitely don't have that. After seeing new pics I say 1.5 but you might be thinning at the edges toward 2. Hard to tell
I always thought this was a 1 and a completely straight across was Norwood zero. Do I look like my edges are thinning out??

Norwood 0 is kind of a meme. If anything it is a norwood 1 but a lower natural hairline. If you think about it though, a norwood 1 is flat from the front but on a skull it would look circular from above. Kinda like longitude and latitude lines on a globe. The hairline isn't that arc shape its more like a V and that's kinda like norwood 1.5 - 2.

Norwood 2 is fine though. Just make sure you watch the thinning areas. You don't want to end up like me with more recession. Because once the hairline recedes beyond a certain point your hair gets weird and you look like a deadbeat dad.

How old are you? when did you first notice thinning? Would you mind sharing pictures?

No such thing as zero. Your like a 1.5 - 2 which is a mature hairline. I’d say 1.5. Your fine

Norwood 3
Got it. The miniaturization is what worries me the most, can that possibly mean im not gonna go further? Fee like ive always had it but now not sure. Sunglasses pic is 2016, the other one is 2018/2019. Do you see a huge diff from those to now?

Also is it possible any recession was caused by blow drying? I have been blow drying my hair more or less everyday for about 5-6 years

It's hard to tell if it's hair loss or not, Jim Carrey has a nw3 hairline and has had it since his 20s, It never got worse. If you notice a change in your hairline, there probably is.
