Can You Predict The Norwood Pattern

You say that the earlier in life the balding process begins, the likelihood the sufferer will lose a lot of hair, but you also say that if a man has not started balding in to a norwood 6 – 7 type by the end of his 20s, then it is unlikely that his hair will degenerate to such a pattern. My brother has a norwood 3 vertex pattern and is 31. I know you can’t know for sure, or predict the future, but does that at least make it *unlikely* that he will advance to a 6 – 7 type, or can we expect the process to continue. As far as I am aware, he hit the vertex point at around 27. The balding process seems to have slowed or even stopped for some time.

You are right! I am not a fortune teller and I cannot predict the future. Thus, I cannot predict your brothers hair loss pattern. Especially without even an exam. With that said, we can predict the hair loss in a person once they have started the hair loss process, even if one can’t see it with the naked eye. This includes the young men who are worried about hair loss because of their family pattern. We can determine the hair bulk in different parts of the scalp and any significant hair loss, even the hair loss that can not be seen, can be measured with this instrument. We call this test a hair bulk analysis.

You are also correct in that most men have a certain Norwood pattern that they fall into where a Norwood 3 don’t suddenly morph into a Norwood 6.
