The Norwood scale is the standard classification used by hair transplant doctors worldwide to measure male pattern baldness. It helps determine your baldness grade, hair transplant eligibility, and the number of grafts needed for restoration.
| Stage | Description | Hair Loss Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No significant hair loss or recession of hairline | Normal hairline |
| 2 | Slight recession at the temples | Triangular areas of recession at temples |
| 3 | First signs of clinically significant balding | Deepened temporal recession, often symmetrical |
| 3V | Vertex (crown) thinning begins | Hair loss concentrated at crown area |
| 4 | Further frontal and vertex hair loss | Both temple and crown areas affected |
| 5 | Larger areas of loss, band between zones narrows | Frontal and crown areas enlarging |
| 6 | Bridge between areas disappears | Frontal and crown merge into one large area |
| 7 | Most extensive form of hair loss | Only band of hair around sides and back remains |
A baldness calculator, also called a hair loss calculator or hair fall test, evaluates key factors like age, gender, duration of hair loss, family history, and scalp visibility. These inputs are mapped against the Norwood scale to estimate your current baldness grade and predict future hair loss progression. This helps doctors determine whether you need medical management, PRP therapy, or a hair transplant.
Common signs of pattern baldness include a receding hairline at the temples, visible scalp in bright light or photos, excessive hair fall (more than 100 strands per day), and gradual thinning at the crown. If you have a family history of hair loss, the chances of androgenetic alopecia are significantly higher. Our online hair loss test helps you assess these factors quickly.
Hair transplant is typically recommended for Norwood grade 3 and above, when non-surgical treatments like PRP and medications are no longer sufficient to restore hair density. At Assure Clinic, our qualified doctors use the patented UHDHT hair transplant technique — combining UFME extraction and DSHI implantation — to deliver natural, high-density results with 95% graft survival.
Whether you are experiencing early hair thinning or advanced baldness, our qualified doctors recommend stage-specific treatments for the best results.
Non-surgical treatments to slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth.

Our doctors will personally review your assessment and create a treatment plan tailored to you.
The Norwood scale is the standard medical classification system for male pattern baldness, grading hair loss from Stage 1 (minimal) to Stage 7 (extensive). Our baldness calculator maps your answers — age, gender, duration, family history, and scalp visibility — against this scale to estimate your baldness grade and recommend the right hair loss treatment.
Yes. This online hair loss test is designed primarily for androgenetic alopecia (genetic or pattern baldness), which accounts for over 95% of hair loss in men and women. The quiz evaluates key indicators including family history, duration of hair fall, and scalp thinning patterns to assess whether you are experiencing hereditary baldness.
Absolutely. The online baldness calculator and hair loss assessment is completely free. After you submit your answers, our qualified doctor will review your responses and contact you with a personalised hair loss report, your estimated Norwood grade, and treatment recommendations at no charge.
Yes, hair transplant is possible even at advanced baldness grades. Assure Clinic's patented UHDHT hair transplant technique can achieve natural results for Norwood 6 and 7 patients through customised multi-session plans. The key factor is donor area availability, which our qualified doctor will evaluate during your free consultation.
An online hair fall test provides a useful preliminary assessment based on established medical criteria. However, for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, an in-person evaluation by a qualified doctor is recommended. Our baldness calculator gives you a starting point, and our doctor will follow up with a detailed scalp analysis and personalised recommendations.
Hair loss (hair fall) refers to excessive shedding of hair strands, which can be temporary and caused by stress, nutrition, or hormones. Baldness refers to permanent hair loss where hair follicles stop producing new hair — typically due to androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness). Our hair loss calculator helps distinguish between early-stage thinning and progressive baldness on the Norwood scale.
