Balding really only matters past NW2

[LordNorwood]

Until you get past NW2, no one IRL even recognizes you as a balding man for the most part. Most men lose the hair on their temples into their 20s. Sometimes you can even get away with a NW2.5 or so.

This is cope bro, one of my friends has recently been visited by the reaper and everyone takes the piss out of him now, he's only like 2-2.5 so far

2-2.5
sounds like he's past 2

 

[draco]

Agreed.

But nw0 halos

So nw2 should not cope with this.

Ok bro you got me

But at 2 you're really dangling from a thin thread

Yes it does halo, ofc a better hairline is always more preferable

Leo

guy above is transitioning to a NW2.5 on the left, but hairline wise he's still a complete NW2.

Maybe a little lower above, just a tad before a true NW2.

Just a tad past for Colbert, maybe like NW2.1 or some shit

A Norwood 2 is basically when recession is undeniable, but the "island" of hair at the front has not yet started to form. If you have an "island", then you're getting close to a 3 or are a true Norwood 3.
Examples of Norwood 3s:

Pretty much a dead on NW3.

He might be a little past 3 above, maybe like 3.5.You can see thinning behind island.

Another dead on NW3.
A Norwood 4 is basically when the strip of hair behind the island is thinned out and the island is really small.

This is the classic example. The island is tiny. Its thinned out in a thin strip behind island too.
At Norwood 5 of course the island vanishes more or less along with all frontal hair. At this point crown is gone too most of the time, so you just have that thin strip of hair in the middle.
I'm personally somewhere between a NW2 and an NW3, so I say NW2.5.
Then some people have unique patterns, like @Dogs

I have lived this meme out except put 2.5 on the bottom

 

[AbandonShip]

My dad became norwood 2 by 35 .
He is 51 now and has nw 2.5


Most people norwood a little and then maintain that hairline for decades without fin/dut

Yeah, that's why a Norwood 2 is also referred to as the "mature hairline".

Absolute cope I am an extremely light mpb and everybody notices. I think I will hair transplant

Where are you at?
I'm at NW 2.5 and no one has commented on my loss except those who I've talked about it with over the months I've been stressing about it.
Also get on fin, currently fin is working so well that my hairline on the left has become a NW2 again and the right seems to be catching up. I'm just waiting for all the new growth to thicken up.

Diffuse thinning is the worst and both my mom and dad have it

Keep an eye out for it bro. It is the worst, but the classic methods should do just as well against it if not better.

I am on fin for 1+ month
Haven’t seen any results though

It takes a while for fin. Expect it to get worse before it gets better.

Looks like I’m nw3. Shit shit shit

The only thing that stopped diffuse thinning for me was Aspirin, i take around 1.5-2g a day. Worked liked a charm

Diffuse thinning can be a sign of chronically high cortisol levels, and aspirin tanks cortisol..
