Prince Harry Has a Thinning Crown?
Dr. Rassman
I know you’ve commented before on Prince Harry, but I noticed some better pictures found here, including close up from above: link
Do you think this is balding and if so, what norwood would he be at and possibly progress to?
Thanks
That is one great collection of royalty. He clearly has vertex balding, but his frontal hairline can not be seen clearly, so I can not guess what his final pattern is. I also do not know if he is using any medication, which makes sense to arrest the hair loss, thereby modifying his final pattern.
Someone should really inform him of Finasteride. He is a perfect candidate. I would hate to see him go down the road of his brother. Prince Harry seems to have great hair other than the crown.
Please answer this Dr as I am very interested: How can you say with such confidence that he ‘clearly has vertex balding’. I have seen children with more obvious crowns than that and people with thin hair usually show some scalp at that point. Any person on the street would say that he has a full head of hair.
Most of your posts suggest that pictures are not a good way to assess hair loss and a bulk analysis would be needed to assess if someone had a parting or large crown or if it was actually balding.
You seem to contradict yourself. Two years ago I was told I was balding by a hair loss doctor because I have a naturally large crown and thin hair but since then it has not progressed despite me not being on any medication and when I looked back at old pictures I realised that I always had that large crown. I think Dr’s have a duty to be more careful about what they are saying – calling someone balding publicly is a big claim to make.
Also, you mention that finasteride would ‘modify his final pattern’ when many times over you have said that finasteride would not modify a final pattern but only slow the progress of that final pattern forming.
Please clarify.
Not balding. He has a cowlick. The photo is taken with a downward flash which makes things appear worse than they are coupled with poor styling. 100% not balding.
I agree with David – I think it doesn’t look like he is balding. It’s just the angle of the light and the strong flash. But I guess we’ll find out in the next 5-10 years or so. If anyone really cares that is
Have to agree with the other posters, I have seen kids and women with “worse” vertex areas, looks normal in that picture like most people. I rarely see anyone with a totally covered vertex
Harry’s clearly been thinning at the temples for a while now, it’s becoming more obvious. Male Pattern Baldness for sure but it’ll probably be slow, unlike poor William.
