Figuring out which kind of hair thinning you |are affected by can be helpful in identifying what intervention is effective in an attempt to find out best solution for your problem.
Setting up a Baseline To Identify Male Pattern Baldness
You can find it very helpful if you invest some time to determine a baseline. Pick up your camera and |have a number of pictures of your hair from the front, the sides, the back and the top, that means, attempt to include each and every possible angles under decent light source. The best set of pictures will be important for gauging your own improvement as hair starts to regrow. You’ll be surprised motivated when you compare an image of yourself after 3 months with a picture of the identical “problem spot” of today.
The Hamilton-Norwood Scale
This is actually a scale to measure Male Pattern Baldness, it is needless to utter some medical perlance. The best is to see some picture for better understand of this scale. A photo may be worth a thousand words. This reference scale was developed by Dr. James Hamilton back in the ‘50’s and twenty years later was updated and revised by Dr. O’Tar Norwood.
Norwood I :- Displays an ordinary head of hair without any visible hair loss.
Norwood II :-Shows the hair diminishing in a wedge-shaped pattern.
Norwood III :- Shows exactly the same diminishing pattern as Norwood II, except the hairline has retreated much deeper into the frontal area and the temporal area.
Norwood IV:- Demonstrates the hairline diminishing more significantly in the frontal region and temporal area than Norwood III and there is the start of a balding spot at the rear of the head.
Norwood V:- Indicates the identical pattern as Norwood IV but with much-reduced hair density.
Norwood VI: The strip of hair attaching the two sides of the scalp that existed in Norwood IV and V has disappeared in Norwood VI.
Norwood VII :- shows hair receding all the way back to the base of the head and the sides just above the ears.
