Most people refer to the Norwood Scale, the standard scale to classify your pattern of hair loss. Through my consultations with various hair loss specialists, I was never asked about my Norwood Scale number or given a classification. I’m not even sure what I can do with this information. Regardless of my category, I’m losing my hair, and the choices are the same.
Below are the images I submitted for my consultations to discuss options. These photos were taken on May 23, 2020, and show me with COVID hair. At this time, I haven’t started any hair loss treatment.
Based on these pictures, I can see that in the future, I will have a classic horseshoe pattern hairline—hair around the sides and back, and nothing on top.
Crown – Hairs have begun to weaken, and I’m showing signs of a bald spot. I had no idea of this until I took these pictures. Needless to say, I was horrified.
Midscalp – I have some hair hanging on for dear life. I have some hair hanging on for dear life. This is what I blow dry, tease, and spray within an inch of my hair’s life to give the illusion of a full head of hair.
Frontal Region – There is no hair worth mentioning in this region. RIP.
