A typical free scanner
- A grade in thirty seconds, then a serum, a gummy, or a consult
- Silent on how much is genetic, and what you can actually change
- A single projection, tied to buying their product
- Your photos and an email become a lead
Clinical hairline report
Where does your hairline stand?A measured Norwood stage from five photos, for $7.
Most free hairline scanners are paid for by whatever they sell you afterwards. This one sells the report. Five photos give you a measured Norwood–Hamilton stage, an estimate of how much is genetic and how much you can change, every treatment lever ranked by published evidence, and the progression you can expect with and without treatment.

How the measurement works
A dense facial landmark mesh fixes a coordinate frame on your face, so measurements do not depend on distance, tilt or phone. A segmentation network traces the hairline and finds scalp showing through hair on the front, crown and back views. The numbers are anchored to per-stage values from 761 dermatologist-graded images.
Studies the report is based on
- StagingNorwood–Hamilton classification (Hamilton 1951; Norwood 1975); incidence by age (Rhodes 1998).
- Crown anchorsPer-grade scalp loss-area ratios from 761 dermatologist-graded images (Xi et al., Scientific Reports).
- PathsFinasteride 1 mg five-year outcomes (Kaufman et al. 1998, 2002); minoxidil 5% response at one year (Olsen et al. 2002).
- DriversFamily history and heritability (Chumlea et al. 2004); smoking and androgenetic alopecia (Su et al. 2007).

Questions
How is this different from a free scan?
Most free scans are paid for by whatever they sell you afterwards. This report is the product: a measured stage, the genetic and environmental split, every lever ranked by published evidence, and the 5- and 10-year paths. There is no account, nothing is stored, and nothing is sold after you pay.
What photos do I need?
Five: face-on with hair pushed back off the forehead, left and right three-quarter views, a top-down crown shot, and the back of your head. Even light, dry hair, no hat. Each one is checked and you are told if it needs a retake.
Do you keep my photos or any information about me?
No. We don't save your photos and we don't store any information about you. There is no account and no email address. The only record that exists is the payment at Stripe, and the access cookie lives in your own browser.
Can I prove my result?
Yes. Every result has a Share button that turns your stage into a signed link: whoever opens it sees the stage, index, confidence and date exactly as measured, and the numbers cannot be edited. No photos, no name.
What if I switch devices or clear my cookies?
After payment you are shown an access code, also at the bottom of every result. Enter it in the box under the price and your access comes back on any device, for the rest of your 30 days.
Refunds?
If it won't run on your device, email hello@norwood.fyi with the error shown and we will refund it.
