Norwood Stage 1
Stage 1 is a full, youthful hairline with no noticeable recession or thinning. It is the baseline against which all later stages are measured.
Key facts
- ·Hairline sits high on the forehead with no corner recession.
- ·No visible thinning at the crown or temples.
- ·Most men at stage 1 require no treatment.
Treatment
Treatment is generally unnecessary. Focus on prevention: monitor the hairline with photos every 6–12 months so any recession is caught early.
