what the fuck are you talking about
3 I think
If u go on minox can u document ur progress?
I mean if you don't get regrowth could use some surgical enhancement I guess, I don't think it's that expensive and wouldn't have to be a transplant.
picrel from yesterday's /mmg/
to answer your actual question hairloss seems pretty preventable and kinda reversible
i'm not an mtf i don't know what they prescribe i think there's topical shit you put on your head and also hair plugs exist
looks like a 3

doesn't answer the question in the op. what norwood stage am i at now? i wont be able to do plugs or surgeries for a while, maybe minox at most in the next few years. am i fucked? my dad is balding more than this but my mums dad had a hairline exactly like this from 20-60
what, i'm the norwood expert? you have the exact same capability as i do to google the fuckin shit take a look for yourself
looks like 3 to me
What surgery are you talking about.
I was solidly norwood II and restoring my hairline to perfection cost 15k in transplant, 3000 grafts.
You only get regrowth if you have diffuse, rapid progressing MPB across a wide area because often those hairs are still there, just very thin and broken. But once hairs become terminal or the follicle dies completely it's not coming back. What that means is that regrowth can only salvage a total disaster it usually can't fix a bad hairline.
You are norwood 3 you will be able to cover it with bangs, try to get minoxidil to see if you can stimulate growth in your temples. You will need to get a hair line incision done for ffs and then have a scalp advance and then maybe 1 or 2 transplants to cover your scar and fill in your temples
Look into powers hair serum any new growth is progress as it reduces the number of grafts u need 4 transplant

no way you needed 3k grafts for a norwood 2 you must have been a 2.5
I was a solid 2, great head of hair for a guy my age. but the problem was that my hairline needed to be lowered all the way back to close where it was at 16 so it could be within the statistical range of a cis woman i believe a consistent 5 CM was the target forhead width. Men naturally get bigger foreheads through puberty, not all of it from MPB. Even post surgery, the results, while good are not as perfect as hunter schafer's hairline, I had to adjust my standards a bit to deal with residual dysphoria.
Hair, like many things about transition is something that seems like not a big deal when you start, but after a few years when you are trying to actually pass and not just look "okay" you realize that it is harder than you thought.

not to invalidate your experience but for me it was the opposite, I was freaking out about my hair (looked a tiny bit better than OP) dooming me to eternal hondom but I'm fully stealth now (no ffs or hair transplants), just being smart about your hairstyles can be more than enough
that being said
Your gift is too great for me
you might still be able to fix it with finasteride, i'm starting to thin out too but it's not as bad and could very well be related to my fucked up skin and not dht alone. i can also hide it with my bangs (and i do well)
i'm seeing my doc to get a referral to the dermatologist in early july, a bit of a wait but usually you don't suddenly get irreversible hairloss in a month and a half. if you're a legaloid, i'd suggest working on it immediately. if you diy, i'd order fin asap

3, I was at a 4 but after 7 months of E and a year of fin + min I'm at a NW2, genuinely turned the clock back 7 years. I'm also 24 btw, we're young enough that a lot of the follicles aren't totally dead yet!

capitalize it
you wouldn't wanna offend the dark lord would ya
You need to start using topical minoxidil at a minimum. You can get oral min too if you have trouble responding to it after 6-12 months at least.
If you have any DHT in your system left you should get on finasteride or dutsasteride asap. Anyone even considering MTF should be on fin at a bare minimum instantly to preserve hair.
i'm pretty sure hrt should prevent hair loss
Your gift is too great for me
not always sometimes there's enough DHT on HRT to keep seeing loss especially if you're being prescribed "cautious" doses by a hondosing Dr

5cm forehead
Is this really the ideal? Because that's how big my forehead is and I feel like it's enormous. I'm not even balding.
