How bald am i?

Are you tired of constantly looking in the mirror and questioning whether or not you’re going bald? Fear no more! This article will provide you with all the information necessary to determine just how bald (or not) you really are.

Understanding Hair Loss

Before getting into the specifics of your hair situation, it’s important to understand hair loss. Hair loss is a normal part of aging for both men and women. It occurs when hair falls out faster than new hairs can replace them.

Types of Hair Loss

There are many different types of hair loss, including:

  • Male-pattern baldness
  • Female-pattern baldness
  • Alopecia areata
  • Telogen effluvium

Each type has its own causes and symptoms. In this article, we’ll mainly focus on male-pattern baldness as it is the most common form of hair loss in men.

Assessing Your Level of Baldness

Now that we have an understanding of what causes hair loss let’s assess your level of baldness!

The Norwood Scale for Men

The Norwood scale is used by doctors to classify male-pattern baldness based on the pattern and severity.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Start with Stage 1: No significant recession at temples yet.
  2. Move through each stage until you find one that matches your current level—taking note about any changes occurring over time.
  3. Work downward from there according to symmetry– if both sides match up equally but without much frontal growth present across their top line then take note again because YOU ARE BALDING, MY FRIEND!

Stage 1 & 2: Minimal Recession

If…You don’t see a ton signs where receding began:
– You may still have hair left
OR… [X] rest peacefully knowing THERE WILL BE DARKNESS -YOU’RE GOING BALD. 😉

Stage 3: Pronounced Recession

At this stage hair loss will become fairly obvious:
– Full or nearly full gill-like empty spaces over the forehead
Hold on, maybe you’re just imagining things?
– Some strands may grow noticeably weaker than others.

Stage 4 & 5: Advanced Hair Loss

Noticing a yarmulke shape forming at the top of your head. What do doctors diagnose for these patients?
It means, unfortunately… [X] YOU ARE FULLY BALDING

Preventing Further Hair Loss
