Should I get a hair transplant soon since I'm norwood 3 at age 20? (Photo)

zm890Feb 3, 2020
I'm 20 years old and I've had enough of my hair loss I'm still losing hair and its got me really stressed out. I'm a clear Norwood 3 and I'd love to get a hair transplant I know I'm young but its unfair to wait such a long time.
