Not a 3A, of course is not balding. A Norwood 3 might be balding. That’s a mature hairline means. A presentable hairline that is basically the final pattern of hair loss for a man.
The maturing hairline is not balding. The Norwood scale at a 1 or 2 show some form of the juvenile/maturing hairline. Balding starts when corner recession appears in a Class 3 pattern, or it starts when crown thinning appears. The correct incidence is of balding in the male population is about 50% of men believed to have inherited some form of balding in their lifetime. My grandfather died at 102 and he his 5 year old hairline when he died. His hairline never went through maturation.
