Hey Nick, I know you don't like answering the "will I go bald" questions, so I've been trying to watch as many videos of yours so I can avoid bothering you. However, I keep finding weird little nuances about myself in regards to your five main predictors in "The Nick Shell System" that make it hard for me to know what I'm dealing with. 1.) At worst, my hairline has receded to exactly where yours is and at best, my hairline is about centimeter lower than your hairline. I have no thinning and noticeable recession along the hairline at the center point, but as you move back towards the temples, there is some relatively minor asymmetrical thinning on the hairline that goes up towards the center of my head about about half a centimeter. I have no thinning anywhere else and my hair is strong, healthy, and has remained virtually unchanged since about 18 or 19. I should also point out that I have never been below a Norwood 1 even as early as middle school. I also vaguely recall my temples always being relatively thin when I had hair there. 2.) The hairline I had when I was one is almost exactly the same as what I have now give or take a bit since all the pictures I have from then are with my bangs down which make it kind of hard to determine precisely. The thin hair I had on my temples mentioned earlier is also somewhat present. 3.) By 17 or 18 I could grow thick sideburns and a thick neck beard, but it didn't start to move up past the chin area significantly until maybe 20 or 21. Those areas are still relatively patchy, albeit slowly filling in. Despite all this, I am a hairier guy in general over the rest of my body and have been since about the same time my hair receded at 18 or 19. Recently, I have been seeing more random longer darker hairs show up on my uppers arms and shoulders, which makes me think I might be getting more hair there soon. 4.) I just turned 23 5.) Prominently German, Polish, and Swedish heritage, with a tiny bit of Irish, Scottish, and British too. First and foremost, I am sorry for making you read such a long comment. If you're reading this, thank you for taking the time to look at something you've probably been asked way too many times now. What I want to know is will my hairline recede significantly more by the time I reach 35? I have been going on and off having a definite answer to this question for a few months because these extra details about my hair make it hard for me to give precise answers to some of the questions in "The Nick Shell System". I feel stupid for not knowing the answer to something that is probably extremely straightforward to you, but I can't help but complicate things for myself and I just want a second opinion that will help set the record straight. Again, I'm sorry for this essay of a comment and I hope things are well for you.
I definitely think there is a correlation between being able to grow a badass beard young and going bald young. I have seen too many examples in friends and acquaintances for it to be a coincidence.
No its not. My cousin can grow a beard and chest hair since high school and his hairline hasn't changed since high school. he is now 23. there are no bald men in his family on either side. it's just that his follicles are not sensitive to male hormones. That's about it. No external signs can predict baldness. My uncle is bald but he can't grow a full beard and he's not a hairy dude at all.
This is some truth right here. I was 18 when I became more curious with MPB as my Dad has it. I remember being so paranoid at 21 about it and now Im nearly 30 with no hair loss. Also you should add if you start graying young, it usually means you wont go bald. Found my first gray hair when I was a teen and even though I grew a lot more grays since then, no signs of balding (NW1 hairline) with very thick, coarse hair. Stay away from sulphate shampoos, use natural oils like jamaican black castor oil, and eat clean. By the way none of his points applies to me with the exception Im not 35 yet
Tip number one: do a DNA test if you really want to know the truth for some reason. Tip number two: stop overthinking it. And even if you learn that you will be bald at 35, what will you do with it and why do you need to know? Just live and enjoy life, happiness is not in the hair. Bald head does not scare anyone, many women like bald men, many girls do not care. Bald men are everywhere and it’s absolutely normal.
From looking at your profile pic it looks like you have a full head off hair. Its very easy to sit there with a full head of hair and preach about this shit. But if your hair thinned out and started full on balding, you would feel very differently about it. I have met loads of guys who say "i'd just shave my head if I went bald" and then when it actually starts happening they freak out big time and become very depressed. I agree many women don't care, but id also say that 80-90% of young women in their early 20s do care. Also it very much depends how you look bald. Some guys faces just don't suit it.
@@lucygilbertson3746 i don't think its easy at all. My second cousin is completely bald at 22, but he has a girlfriend and she doesn't care. And he's not handsome, just a normal guy. When I see a bald friend or meet a bald stranger, I feel the same way about it as I do about people with a full head of hair. Yes, I wouldn't want to be bald, but it's okay to be bald. You just don't have a choice about hairstyles. I think it's a lot of stress, but it's temporary. I can't say I'm going bald yet. Maybe I won't at all, given my father's side. But the mother's side is the opposite and in her family, men go bald. My uncle on my mother's side is bald at 35, just like his father. So I watch these videos because I'm concerned about this issue. A full head of hair at 22 doesn't guarantee that it will be the same at 26 or 30. That's why I watch these videos.
@Slugglover what’s the difference whether I’m bald or not? I write facts. and you look like a person who is offended by life because you are bald and you need support from the same bald person like you. Go watch "Baldcafe". And what about the doctors trichologists who have Norwood 0 in their 50s? They also have no right to do this and talk about it? You have strange conclusions man.
@Slugglover lol, well, imagine that I’m also preparing for the future. Although, in fact, I looked just out of interest at another opinion about baldness. And you write as if you are part of the bald community and only bald can comment on baldness. This is fucking funny. But it turns out you don’t even go bald, but you write that my opinion doesn’t matter, because I’m Norwood 0. Dude, the most useless comment is yours. Btw, where did I write not a fact? I wrote that only the DNA test is the most proven method and that bald men are everywhere. Where the fuck do you see the opinion here? These are facts.
You need to talk about the 6th rule, which is bald men tend to have lower beard lines. Some of them tend not to be able to grow as much hair on their cheeks. Although they may grow a beard earlier in life, a lot of them have a lower beard line than other’s.
Ok, my dad is in his 60’s and is at a NW 1 and his dad was the same way up until his death. 1. I’m currently 17, turning 18 soon 2. I basically had a full head of hair. The only difference is that it was blonde 3. I still have all my hair. It’s also really thick as well so that’s a plus. 4. I have can get a thin mustache, barely a goatee, and I could get some sideburns. I couldn’t get a beard if I wanted to. 5. I’ve been told that I’m part Native American on my mother’s side, but it’s not confirmed since I haven’t done a genealogy. Though my dad and his dad both come from Ireland and have kept a thick and or fine set of hair. So, will I go bald?
According to this video it is unlikely I will go bald. I am 19 and my hairline is straight across and no temple recession. When I was 1 years old I had full head of hair and my hair looks the same since I was 1. I can only grow a mustache and only have peach fuzzy body hair growth on my arms and legs. I am half east asian and half white. No one on either side of my family is bald. My dad and maternal grandpa are norwood 1. Also I had my first gray hair a couple months ago.
I’m Filipino hair is thick Norwood 0 just a little bit of a recession on right side temple (barley gone just a little bit) and left side temple is perfect! can’t grow a thick beard but mustache and little bit on chin but never thick and only 22 grafteful hopefully to keep my hair long time thank you
dad is bald, his dad was bald, 2/3 uncles from dads side are bald.moms dad is bald uncles from moms side are thinning. i am 17 with a full head of hair with no thinning or receding. i also have no facial hair at all and i don't have any 1 year old pictures. will i go bald.
If your maternal balding relatives all had thin hair, but I have a head full of thick hair like one of my maternal uncles does (who’s not balding), how likely am I to go bald?
I check. My hair. But its hopeless. I have receding. Hairline. High hair line. On the crown its. Bald spots. Im trying vitamin c vitamin d. And hair skin nails vitamin. Plus a topical product. Called softee. Its good it covers bald spots. Im trying to not use much. Just a coin drop. Rub it in. Then i use mousse. To cover it up. Im a Norwood 1 2 or 3. Im enjoying your channel i got to try Rogaine. And. Rosemary oil and a derma roller. Its micro needling. I have heard hair fibers work too
Based on your list 24 Idk if there's a scale but I don't even classify as norwood 1 because my hairline is pretty much the same Body hair is fairly less I still have a patchy beard Parents at 50 have a pretty good hair tho dad has mild thinning on the frontal scalp also one of my uncle is norwood 3 at 45 What do you think when will i start my MPB?
Hey, I've recently found your channel and have been freaking out lately. I noticed that my scalp was visible in the back of my head, specifically on the back/side area in certain lighting and angles. I have naturally thin and straight hair, so I am wondering if this is to blame. In addition to this, it was cut a lot shorter than the top of my head (which is much longer, because of an undercut), where on the top I can't really notice anything sus just yet. My hairline is 100% and hasn't changed since age 15, and is probably an NW0. I've had barbers tell me that my hair is the thinnest and straightest they've seen. My dad has a full head of hair but is gray, and actually refutes your theory (he started graying by his late 20s, and he still has a full head of hair, along with not being able to grow a beard until much later). I really hope that the back of my head isn't thinning, but from all the videos and research it seems like everybody here seems to look at your hairline first when looking at hair loss. In addition to this, my only bald family member would be my maternal grandpa, and he has claimed he could grow a beard in high school, extremely early, which also seems to line up with your theory. Depending on the lighting, when my hair is cut short it definitely looks gray, especially if it is overcast outside or even sunny. I think my hair might be following a similar pattern to my dad - starting to get darker in college, and then eventually graying out. How common is it for you to lose hair in an untraditional way (eg. starting from the back or sides, and moving up?). The top of my head (which is grown out, while the sides/back are shaved), appears to be OK, even when wet it looks good, which is a good sign, no? I think I might have a cowlick and the lighting is misleading me making it seem like the hair around it is thinning, but I'm not sure. I'm 19 almost 20 years old and still can't grow much more than some extremely light facial hair (not even connected either) after 1 week of no shaving. Generally, I'll shave once a week with an electric razor because my facial hair is so thin and sparse. I can go a week without shaving and look somewhat babyfaced even. My facial hair still looks like high schoolers, even at age 20. I also do not have much body hair at all, and recently got a little bit of chest hair in the last year. I actually have pretty much no hair on my arms. So, I would say that I am not hairy at all. I've always had extremely thin hair on my head, and it even reflects this on my body and facial hair, which is also extremely thin. I couldn't even grow any facial hair aside from some peach fuzz until recently after high school, I think i noticed a lot start to come in around age 19. Do you think I am screwed? When I see the back of my head in different angles, and the scalp is showing it scares me because it looks like the hair is indeed thinning (specifically on the back and vertex). However, my hair there is cut a lot shorter than on the top of my head, where I do not notice any thinning (other than my naturally thin hair).
Hey Nick. I have a question for you. I'm 21 years old. My father went bald at his 30s. now he is 54 and he lost his hairs. Father of my father, grandfather he has hairs I don't know exactly Norwood scale. But a half hairs I think. So my mother side has full hair. My grandfather at mother side, he had full hairs. He died 67 years old. I looked my picture when I was 1 years old. I had hairs. Now I have a receding hairline in nw2. and I have dandruff. And my hairs took slower to grow. My beard is not full. My background is Albanian.What do you think for me ? Will I go bald or not ? Thanks.
Hey Nick. I am 19, and I have a v-shaped hairline. My baby photo at 1 year has about the same hairline, I believe. My beard has just started to fill in at age 19, but it is still reasonably patchy. I am also 50% Greek. Thoughts?
Good analysis. I have a question. My dad is bald, my grandad is bald. Dad became nw7 by 40. Elder brother is nw 3.5 at age 31. I am nw 1.5 at age 28, but have fine hair. Do you think i will go bald? No balding on mother's side. Also to add, my brother could grow a full beard by 16 and has lots of body hair. I have very less body hair and a patchy beard.
Nick Shell I’m totally like you, I don’t care at all now if I lose my hair, when these youngsters realise as they age hair means nothing if you carry yourself well, they will be fine
@@malcolmx4744, yeh, but social life when you below 25 would take a hit. I can't grow a beard and 16 but got big forehead and I think hairline might be receding. Confidence would be knocked
damn is it really true with the 35 years ? So you keep the hair you have with that age ? Cause i‘m a norwood 2, 36 years old and wanna find out the right time for a hairtransplant.
Hey nick . I’m 23 years old .. have Norwood 3 hairline now. At age 1 I was a Norewood 2.5. I’m Italian . Have full thick beard... dad is a norewood 3.5. An moms dad is. Nw-1 w graying. I feel like I’m too young to be balding at such a progressive rate 23 with a norewood 3. An I see thinning into the 4 region . Do you think I’ll go bald?
@@NickShellVideos I’ll go bald even tho my dad still is nw3.5 an moms dad has full head of hair. crazy tho cause if you seen my hair style you’d never even think that I’m balding. I have a tight nw-1 hair style with thick curly hair. But I’m thinning terribly into nw- 3..
I'm 17 years I've no hairfall And i cant see my scalp And my father is not bald But i think I'm receding my hairline 😓😓😓 What to do? should i meet a doctor?
I know you don't look at peoples pictures to see if their going bald but if you ever wanted to use someone as an Example you could use me! i could send you pictures of my hairline, i feel like 70% of your viewers have a hairline similar to mine where it's easy to style it like a Juvenile hairline but in reality im probably a Norwood 1
@@NickShellVideos my left corner receded a bit when i was 14 and my right receded this year my dad is norwood 4 i had a pretty good hairline when i was a year old i can only grow a mustache and a bit around my chin i am 17 years old now my hair is thick its almost like derel flowers hairline (the guy u interviewed in your video) ruclips.net/video/xdO95Jn7vb0/видео.html
My dad could grow a beard at 18 but he still has hair in his 50s it’s grey with some thinning and my moms dad had hair in his 50s to with slight graying what does that mean for me?
Nick Shell I watch the video fully but I have one question that I didn’t quite understand when you say body hair do you mean only the beard or like arm and leg hair?
Hey nick I just want you to predict when I will go bald. I need your wisdom so much man please response .I am norwood 2. But I fell like it is still receiding. When ı pull it comes(and it becomes as an addict ı always pull like 20-30 times in a day maybe it also damages too) . My dad kept his norwood 2 until his 50 now it started to recede again. Non of my uncles from dad and mother side have hair loss (nw1). My grandpa from dad side nw2 at age 79 only my mother side grandpa lost his hair very quickly when he was 50 ( until that age he was nw1). I am 21 and have patchy beard still not connected. Checked my age 1 photos and I have hair on my head but it was thin and one of the reasons it looks thin was because it was blonde so much and the quality of photos are really bad so hard to predict. I am Turkish my backround is greek and not any of member my family is middle eastern all of them bulgarian greek and armenian(migrated to Turkey).
Hi Nick I was full head hair and my dad was bald but his dad is not bald and my maternal grand father and my uncles are not bald will I going to bald my photo is in the profile
lol I can grow a mustache but I’m like a quarter Native American and like 16 percent Spanish and Puerto Rican my dad has a noorwood 0 at 55 he gave me his facial hair genetics I think I can grow a mustache I shave but didn’t give me his hair genes to protect me instead I have to rely on my bald grandpa
Yes, If you worrying that you might be going bald, you probably are. If you have bald(ing) relatives so the chances are even higher. Stop fooling yourself and act.

Is your hairline the same as when you were age 1? Did your father become completely bald at a very young age? Please answer

You won't bald
the chance for you to get bald is sadly big.
If your maternal balding relatives all had thin hair, but I have a head full of thick hair like one of my maternal uncles does (who’s not balding), how likely am I to go bald?
You will keep your hair and if your dads bald you can expect some recession but not a fully bald situation
i bought my self a Mavic Mini drone , just to check out bald spots :D
I check. My hair. But its hopeless. I have receding. Hairline. High hair line. On the crown its. Bald spots. Im trying vitamin c vitamin d. And hair skin nails vitamin. Plus a topical product. Called softee. Its good it covers bald spots. Im trying to not use much. Just a coin drop. Rub it in. Then i use mousse. To cover it up. Im a Norwood 1 2 or 3. Im enjoying your channel i got to try Rogaine. And. Rosemary oil and a derma roller. Its micro needling. I have heard hair fibers work too
Hope this is true. Im 25, no signs of balding so far. Had a full head of hair at 1 and hairline was ab the same. And had just got a chin patch at 18.
Great dedication pal
Thanks!
Based on your list
24
Idk if there's a scale but I don't even classify as norwood 1 because my hairline is pretty much the same
Body hair is fairly less
I still have a patchy beard
Parents at 50 have a pretty good hair tho dad has mild thinning on the frontal scalp also one of my uncle is norwood 3 at 45
What do you think when will i start my MPB?
You will likely have hair like me at age 39.
My hairline is kinda messed up from chemicals i used on my hair when i was younger so it’s hard to tell for me.
thats bs my grandpa used some piece of shit shampoo his whole life and still has a full head nw1 at 85. its not "chemicals" its genetics

How common is it for you to lose hair in an untraditional way (eg. starting from the back or sides, and moving up?). The top of my head (which is grown out, while the sides/back are shaved), appears to be OK, even when wet it looks good, which is a good sign, no? I think I might have a cowlick and the lighting is misleading me making it seem like the hair around it is thinning, but I'm not sure.
I'm 19 almost 20 years old and still can't grow much more than some extremely light facial hair (not even connected either) after 1 week of no shaving. Generally, I'll shave once a week with an electric razor because my facial hair is so thin and sparse. I can go a week without shaving and look somewhat babyfaced even. My facial hair still looks like high schoolers, even at age 20. I also do not have much body hair at all, and recently got a little bit of chest hair in the last year. I actually have pretty much no hair on my arms. So, I would say that I am not hairy at all. I've always had extremely thin hair on my head, and it even reflects this on my body and facial hair, which is also extremely thin. I couldn't even grow any facial hair aside from some peach fuzz until recently after high school, I think i noticed a lot start to come in around age 19.
Do you think I am screwed? When I see the back of my head in different angles, and the scalp is showing it scares me because it looks like the hair is indeed thinning (specifically on the back and vertex). However, my hair there is cut a lot shorter than on the top of my head, where I do not notice any thinning (other than my naturally thin hair).
“I’m 39 I’m 5 years passed the magic age of 35 “
You mean 4?😂😂
Nope five
Hey Nick. I have a question for you.
I'm 21 years old. My father went bald at his 30s. now he is 54 and he lost his hairs. Father of my father, grandfather he has hairs I don't know exactly Norwood scale. But a half hairs I think. So my mother side has full hair. My grandfather at mother side, he had full hairs. He died 67 years old. I looked my picture when I was 1 years old. I had hairs. Now I have a receding hairline in nw2. and I have dandruff. And my hairs took slower to grow. My beard is not full. My background is Albanian.What do you think for me ? Will I go bald or not ?
Thanks.
Nick went from bald to thick in a couple weeks that is the true alpha guy right there 😲
I thought more hair into existence!
Hey Nick. I am 19, and I have a v-shaped hairline. My baby photo at 1 year has about the same hairline, I believe. My beard has just started to fill in at age 19, but it is still reasonably patchy. I am also 50% Greek. Thoughts?
On a side note, I have noticed some baby hairs on my hairline. What do you think they mean? Are they a sign of thinning/hair loss?
What did you find help with hair loss?
Not caring anymore realizing I am judge on 10 other things instead.
Good analysis. I have a question. My dad is bald, my grandad is bald. Dad became nw7 by 40. Elder brother is nw 3.5 at age 31. I am nw 1.5 at age 28, but have fine hair. Do you think i will go bald? No balding on mother's side. Also to add, my brother could grow a full beard by 16 and has lots of body hair. I have very less body hair and a patchy beard.
You have to answer all 5 of my questions, then tell me the answer yourself.
@@NickShellVideos accordingly, i should not bald. Am i right?
You have yet to answer all 5 of my questions. Instead, you gave me information I never asked for. Watch the video and try again.
@@NickShellVideos age is 28. Nw 2 at age 1. Hair now is nw 1.5. Still patchy beard, not connecting. I am an Indian.
You will not go bald.
I’m nearly 36, Norwood 2, full beard at 16, baby picture Norwood 1, white British
There the lies the answer. You are already past age 35.
Nick Shell I’m totally like you, I don’t care at all now if I lose my hair, when these youngsters realise as they age hair means nothing if you carry yourself well, they will be fine
@@malcolmx4744, yeh, but social life when you below 25 would take a hit. I can't grow a beard and 16 but got big forehead and I think hairline might be receding. Confidence would be knocked
Mr Hard Apple yes I understand at that age it must be hard, but you have to accept it
damn is it really true with the 35 years ? So you keep the hair you have with that age ? Cause i‘m a norwood 2, 36 years old and wanna find out the right time for a hairtransplant.
u are 36 and a norwood 2... what are u waiting for?! Just do it, your are perfect for this
no it is not always true, my dad had a norwood 2 til 50 and then lost it all in 5 years.
Hey nick . I’m 23 years old .. have Norwood 3 hairline now. At age 1 I was a Norewood 2.5.
I’m Italian . Have full thick beard... dad is a norewood 3.5. An moms dad is. Nw-1 w graying. I feel like I’m too young to be balding at such a progressive rate 23 with a norewood 3. An I see thinning into the 4 region . Do you think I’ll go bald?
Yes, I do.
@@NickShellVideos I’ll go bald even tho my dad still is nw3.5 an moms dad has full head of hair. crazy tho cause if you seen my hair style you’d never even think that I’m balding. I have a tight nw-1 hair style with thick curly hair. But I’m thinning terribly into nw- 3..
I'm 17 years
I've no hairfall
And i cant see my scalp
And my father is not bald
But i think I'm receding my hairline 😓😓😓
What to do? should i meet a doctor?
Shave it and embrace being masculine.
What if your of black heritage
A little less likely to go bald young.
I know you don't look at peoples pictures to see if their going bald but if you ever wanted to use someone as an Example you could use me! i could send you pictures of my hairline, i feel like 70% of your viewers have a hairline similar to mine where it's easy to style it like a Juvenile hairline but in reality im probably a Norwood 1
I’m Afro indigenous so where does that put me ?
Odds are in your favor.
@@NickShellVideos I took a dna test and it already said my hair loss chances were slim to none but I watched your videos just to be sure .
@Nick_Shell , how long does it take from nw1 to nw3
You need to ask yourself the 5 questions I talk about in this video.
@@NickShellVideos my left corner receded a bit when i was 14 and my right receded this year
my dad is norwood 4
i had a pretty good hairline when i was a year old
i can only grow a mustache and a bit around my chin
i am 17 years old now
my hair is thick
its almost like derel flowers hairline (the guy u interviewed in your video)

My dad could grow a beard at 18 but he still has hair in his 50s it’s grey with some thinning and my moms dad had hair in his 50s to with slight graying what does that mean for me?
You didn't watch the whole video. Therefore, I will not answer your question.
Nick Shell I watch the video fully but I have one question that I didn’t quite understand when you say body hair do you mean only the beard or like arm and leg hair?
Beard.
Hey nick I just want you to predict when I will go bald. I need your wisdom so much man please response .I am norwood 2. But I fell like it is still receiding. When ı pull it comes(and it becomes as an addict ı always pull like 20-30 times in a day maybe it also damages too) . My dad kept his norwood 2 until his 50 now it started to recede again. Non of my uncles from dad and mother side have hair loss (nw1). My grandpa from dad side nw2 at age 79 only my mother side grandpa lost his hair very quickly when he was 50 ( until that age he was nw1). I am 21 and have patchy beard still not connected. Checked my age 1 photos and I have hair on my head but it was thin and one of the reasons it looks thin was because it was blonde so much and the quality of photos are really bad so hard to predict. I am Turkish my backround is greek and not any of member my family is middle eastern all of them bulgarian greek and armenian(migrated to Turkey).
You might have as much hair as I do at age 39, but thinner.
Nick Shell thank you so much for responding
Next step is to buzz your hair with a #2 guard to psychology prepare.
Nick Shell I already have done it. I always do it once in two years 👍🏻💪🏻.I don’t skip your suggestions.
You are wise!
Hi Nick I was full head hair and my dad was bald but his dad is not bald and my maternal grand father and my uncles are not bald will I going to bald my photo is in the profile
I may only be 16, but I have hair nowhere on my body except on my head and on my.... You get the idea
lol I can grow a mustache but I’m like a quarter Native American and like 16 percent Spanish and Puerto Rican my dad has a noorwood 0 at 55 he gave me his facial hair genetics I think I can grow a mustache I shave but didn’t give me his hair genes to protect me instead I have to rely on my bald grandpa
How about black men
Same.
not for all men , my father lost most of his hair in the 40s , not 1940s :)
Yes, If you worrying that you might be going bald, you probably are. If you have bald(ing) relatives so the chances are even higher. Stop fooling yourself and act.
You look like the killer in scream 3
.... What 😂
So...you won't make me a sandwich, Nick?
Never.
Thoughts on finasteride?
Not for me, because my hair is not related to my confidence level.
