Nw2 Vs Nw3 Hairline: What Are Some Of The Key Differences

[Gary8878]

Trying to decide whether I’m currently at a NW2 or NW3. Some references seem to show very different examples. Based on my hairline I’d say I am at a NW3. Currently using Rogaine once per day although I should probably up it to 2x.

Those of you with a similar hairline, how long did it take to really advance past the NW3 stage? I am 30 y/o.

Well, can’t post an image of the hairline due to restrictions but here is a direct link:

norwood 3 = M shape

Thanks for clearing it up. Norwood 3 it is.

I think I’m gonna go back to shorter haircuts such as skin fades. I tried growing it out just to see what it would look like but it brings out the recession much more.

which norwood is this guy btw? 1? 1.5 ?

Measure frontal hairline length. If it is one eyebrow length then norwood 3 ,if it is 1.5 of eyebrow length then it is Norwood 2. Nw3 generally accompanied by crown thinning.
