Is Norwood 2 really a mature hairline

[PatientlyWaiting]

Yep. If you're satisfied, that's all that matters. Normal people on the street don't look at you and go, "gee, look at that Norwoord 4".

I think an NW 3 or NW 4 can still frame the face of a confident guy who just owns it. In my opinion, that's what it's all about, framing your face.

I don't think a NW3+ is any good. I am a NW3/4 and have to wear a hat to avoid comments about my hair loss. That's definitely not a comfortable Norwood stage to be in. Also it makes it even worse if you are diffused NW3/4 like me.

I see people on these forums fretting over NW1.5. I see confident people with NW4 on the streets with hot bitches on their arms.

There's no magic NW threshold. Actually, I'd assert that the magic threshold is within each individual when they let their hair loss permeate their mental and physical well-being.

Im just saying hair loss is hair loss even if its minor and not NW 2 level yet its still that guys right to shoot for NW 0/1 if they want it. Its their choice and some men might want that weird unnatural hair line because to them it might be normal its opinion really there is no right answer even if NW 2 is considered the official MPB start.
NW 1 looks younger then a NW 2 and if looking younger if the goal of fighting MPB I dont see how that is wrong to want. If you think it looks stupid or unnatural that shoot for NW 2 I guess

I visited a HT Dr. And drew my hair line to him and got a weird look. When I do go for a HT I'm just going to say give me a nice mature hairline with 1500 grafts......... GO!

If 1500 can't help me so be it. Need to think 15-20 years down the road.

You and yeahyeahyeah should get together so you can feed each others psychosis that being a NW 1/2 is a serious problem and is ruining your life....

Maybe these people that are going crazy over 1.5 just started and are afraid of it getting worse?

Those confident people with NW4 in the streets probably don't care about hair loss at all, and are not signed up to hair loss forums with over 1,000 posts like you and I. They have different mindsets and you can't shove that mindset down some one's throat. Some people have had enough of the bald jokes I guess.

There is pretty much no amount of hair loss that looks better than just being NW1
Maybe a handful of guys look better w/ a more "mature" hairline if there is no diffusion or crown loss. & yes some guys can pull off even a NW3 well (especially if the forelock & temple points are still doing well)
Most of us are not that handful of guys unfortunately.

Nw 2 is a mature hairline

Your putting words in my mouth. I never said its a serious problem and ruining my life anymore then MPB does that to anyone on these forums. Whether NW 2 or NW 7 bothers you that is up to the person. Some men are fine being NW 7 so if they are okay with that then good for them. Some want NW 1 there is no problem with that.

I agree with this. I would be more than happy if I could return to NW1.

Exactly MPB is how you personally feel about it. If NW 2 bothers you then you want back to NW 1 that is not wrong even if a majority disagrees
