I've had a high hairline my entire life, but looking at past photos and comparing with more recent ones, it seems as though I have receded a bit. I'm 27 years old now, I was around 18-22 in the photos I compared to. Where on the Norwood scale would you say I fit? Does it look like I'm balding or is it a typical mature hairline?
Answer: Mature hairline vs balding Thank you for submitting your photos. You appear to be receding back farther than what would be considered a "mature hairline". At the age of 27 there are multiple factors causing this. These factors could range from the products you are using, your genetics, supplements you might be taking, and of course testosterone derived hormones causing the hair loss. Since hair loss is caused by a number of variables there is no one treatment option. Rather, a combination of treatment options is often necessary. These options include special shampoos and conditioners, supplements, red/IR light therapy, medications such as minoxidil and finasteride, PRP injections, and even hair transplantation to the areas of hair loss to restore your frontal hairline. Consultation with a hair restoration expert is recommended to see which treatment (or combination of treatments) is best for you. Best wishes!

Answer: Mature hairline or balding? lotr17,It does look like you have always had a high hair line with a larger forehead, which worked well for you framing your face nicely. However, there does appear to be some Male pattern hair loss developing. Presently, it is a Norwood III with some Temple point recession. Would recommend that you visit with your local hair loss specialist to evaluate and consider going on a regimen to stabilize your hair loss.Sincerely,Bernardino A. Arocha, MD

Answer: Maturation or Balding The loss looks a little deeper than what would be expected of a maturing hairline, plus 27 is a little late (but certainly not unheard of) to have a maturing hairline rather than regular MPB. An in-person examination could give you a more definitive answer but you're probably seeing the start of the balding process. Good luck.

Answer: Hair loss prevention I'd recommend switching to organic products for your shampoo and conditioner, and to look in to preventative medications like Finasteride and Minoxidil which has been proven to halt and even reverse hair loss. Before starting any medications it is best to check with your physician.
