Balding family members can potentially tell you more about the severity of your current hair loss condition.
By looking at the hair of your dad, uncles, and grandpas you can get a better understanding of what to expect.
Do they have signs of balding? How does their hairline look? Is it dense or thinned out? Can you see any hair loss forming shape on their hairline or crown of the head?
Any thinned out areas or patchy spots on their scalp could suggest an underlying Androgenetic alopecia condition.
Make sure you also try to classify each of them on a Norwood scale. If you don´t know how this scalp works, look it up online and do the assessment on your relatives.
To put it simple, Norwood scale starts with NW1 (no balding), NW2 (first signs of receding hairline) and end with a NW7 stage – hair only left on sides and back of the scalp, like Dr. Phil has.
