I personally believe you are receding, and balding...

Can you see the hair on your front that is much smaller than the rest? It can be seen on picture one - it means that you are receding for sure; However, if you are just maturing or really balding is something that is probably impossible to say; We'd need old pictures and more information to really make a guess about that...

Well, maybe Norwood 1.5? It ain't really bad; And about hair loss: Well usually balding is unpredictable - but of course e.g. if you lost your hair receded within a short period of time the probability is highter for you to be balding; Why don't you see a dermatologist and maybe start with nizoral shampoo?

Well maybe also a NW2 - fact is, that the front has not receded but only the temples... Which is of course good..

NW2.

No such thing as a maturing hairline. You're either losing hair or you aren't. The only potential difference is some people (rare) just stop at a certain point, but given that you can see miniaturisation its likely it is progressive. Fortunately we live in a time where decent treatments are on the horizon so dont panic.

That's a norwood 2 indeed. If u go any further than this, hop on treatment right away. If u are not sure u are , go to a dermatologist and have them take a look.

Bad news: You are starting to go bald (receeding hairline).

Good news: You still caught it early and is not very noticable. Get a prescription for propecia/finasteride and hope you can slow down the balding
