Rate My Norwood With Conealer Does This Look Below Norwood 2?

[AnxiousAndy]

Hey all, a few weeks ago I got my hair cut pretty short.. At least a lot shorter than it used to be. Since then I've began using dermmatch ( which is FANTASTIC ) and a little bit of toppik to hide the blotchy mistakes I make applying the stuff. With a little cover up game and concealer I think my hair looks pretty good if you ignore the retrograde alopecia on the sides.. What do you guys think? Does this look below a NW2?

It looks like there is no recession.

The sides are not from retrograde alopecia, that area is thinner on everyone......

Yea it looks pretty good I have to disagree though, the hairs in my thin parts shown in the pics are significantly thinner than the hair on top. It is also present at my donor area but its not shown in these pics. @shookwun This is retrograde Alopecia, yes?

Retrograde alopecia is a meme.

You can think whatever you want but that is a normal thin area when hair is short. It is not Retrograde Alopecia. But you are someone that will just think what they want.

Looks great man, if I saw you irl I wouldn't think that you are even balding lol

Looks good man. You comfortable wearing it during the day? I usually don't wear it during the day because I get worried about people being able to see the toppik when the sunlight hits it.

Toppik has been a godsend for me and almost impossible to get “outted” using it, obviously using it sparingly. I’ve had sex, went swimming, had a girl run her hands through my hair and in every scenario no one thought anything of my hair... thanks toppik love you

You put your head under water (beach/pool) with Toppik in it and no one noticed? Hard to believe as a Toppik user myself.

Great haircut and hairstyle. Do you have a photo before putting the concealer and put it next to one with concealer

Yea its fine during the day, even when I'm sweating it doesn't run or come off unless I forgot to cut my nails and itch where I've applied it lol. People will not notice your concealer as long as your hair loss isn't advanced.

Topppik and Dermmatch are the cats pajamas! Never thought my hair could look so good so short. Both are remarkable products.. Shame they aren't permanent lol.

Here you go.
First 5 pictures are without styling and concealer. The next 6 are with just Dermmatch. The last 4 are with styling, dermmatch and a little toppik. Looks pretty good when its finished

I know hairloss sucks big time, but even in your non concealer pictures your hair looks completely fine. You have nothing to worry about as to how others perceive your hair, everyone will just see it as a good, thick head of hair.
As of now, with your regimen, your hairloss is cured.

Your hair looks great even without concealer. You absolutely do not have retrograde alopecia.

Have you even been to anyone to confirm a diagnosis of AA?

 

[michel sapin]

wow bro, your hair look perfect ! seems that your regimen is working !

 

[yourworld001]

Are you still taking 1mg Oral Estrogen? If so have you grown any breast tissue?

When I initially went to see a dermatologist about my receding hairline he did mention my sides were thinning but I was under the impression that was normal until I read about RA on here. He basically confirmed male pattern baldness, wrote me a prescription for 6 months free of PROPECIA ( crazy, I know right? ) and sent me on my way.

wow bro, your hair look perfect ! seems that your regimen is working !

I wish that were the case. I have bits of my hairline that are completely bald now but had full thick hair when I started treatment. My widows peak was never as prominent or thin on the sidea and my temples were a lot fuller. I can hide my temples with styling but in the pics I posted without concealer you can see they are pretty much bald.

I'm not taking estrogen anymore, it did grow some breast tissue but since I was still balding I figured it was not worth growing boobs if I can't have the hair. Since I've stopped the gyno in my left breast is gone but I still got a little in my right.. Its definitely not noticeable though.

 

[michel sapin]

so with " just" fina + cypro ; the gyno you got while on oetradiol gradually disappeared ?

[michel sapin]
