Am I on Norwood 2? Should I get a hair transplant or wait? 25 years old (Photo)

you are not at a serious stage. You can benefit from alternative treatments like PRP or supplements like finasteride, biotin and vitamin complexes 

Norwood 2 is not really considered balding, so if you are considering surgery you may want to see a doctor for a better understanding of your situation.

Receding hairline is not a hair loss because of ongoing process of androgenetic alopecia but  a simple juvenile type maturing of frontal hair line.  That is seen almost every young boys almost between 16-21 that have a very rounded hairline without recession in the corners.  Recession in the corners is a sign of mature pattern male frontal hair line.

Hair loss can be treated with hair grafting but in your case it would not be advised. First, people with hair loss at an early age the loss can progress to larger areas over time. So, any grafting would cause a problem with the appearance of the hair afterwards. The best treatment in your situation is to get the loss under control which is done by medical management. Options include finasteride, minoxidil, laser, supplements and PRP. We have had good success with these treatments and you should seek a hair restoration physician would can guide you on the best plan. Good Luck

When considering a hair transplant in your early to mid 20's, just as important as choosing the right hair restoration surgeon, is choosing the right preventative regimen.

Remember, hair loss is progressive. Medications such as Finasteride and Minoxidil can be very helpful in slowing down your hair loss and keeping your existing hair. PRP Therapy is also a great tool in the fight against hair loss and keeping your existing hair.

A great first step would be an online consultation. Often you can submit photos to top hair restoration surgeons for a complimentary evaluation. This should help lead you in the right direction. Having multiple consultations with different doctors cannot hurt.

I would not recommend a hair transplant in a Norwood Class 2 pattern of balding. Wait to find out if you are really balding
