The most severe stage of hair loss — only a band of hair going around the sides of the head remains. This hair is usually not dense and may be fine. This represents the most advanced form of male pattern baldness, often called the "horseshoe" pattern.
A razor-shaved head is a strong, confident style choice. Many celebrities and public figures rock this look. Pair with facial hair and good grooming.
Creates the illusion of a close-shaved full head of hair using micro-tattoo dots. Extremely natural-looking and low maintenance.
Modern hair systems are virtually undetectable. Provides immediate full coverage with any desired style and length.
If donor supply allows, a conservative 1,500-2,500 graft transplant can create a modest frontal hairline. May include body hair transplant (BHT).
Yes, several options exist: SMP creates a realistic shaved-head appearance, hair systems provide full coverage, and limited hair transplants (if donor supply allows) can create a modest hairline for framing. Many men at Stage 7 confidently embrace the bald look. Body hair transplants (BHT) using chest/beard hair are also emerging as an option.
A transplant is possible but limited. With only side and back donor hair remaining, typically 2,000-3,000 grafts may be available. This is not enough for full coverage but can create a conservative hairline and some frontal density. Body hair transplant (BHT) may supplement scalp donor hair in some cases.
Many successful, confident men are at Norwood 7. Consider: embracing the shaved look (razor-shaved heads are a strong style choice), SMP for a defined shaved-head look, maintaining physical fitness, growing facial hair for balance, and focusing on overall grooming and style.
