So yea , I'm 17 and will be 18 in 2 months ...
Basically , my dad's side people haven't gone bald. My dad and his dad all had hair. My dad and everyone in his family had that M shape hairline,but it never went back,just stayed M and hence he had all hair on top. He doesn't have super thick hair and had thin hair since his birth. But he had hair and never lost it.
My mom's side : my mom's dad started thinning out at his late 60s and even today he isn't fully bald. Till his 60s he had super thick hair with a good hairline. But my mom's mom side people are bald as balls since their 20s. I'm not so sure who's hair my mom has inherited but her skin color is her dad's (she is white like her dad and her mom is dark skinned)
As for me : almost all of my characters including facial hair , mouth , teeth etc. Are from my dad's side people. My hairline too is an M shape like my dad. I lose about 150 hairs per week. My hair is thicker than my dad but not as thick as my mum's dad's hair. But then when I was in my late 15 I noticed thinning on only one temple. My hair would look like that of Hitler's with one side up and other down.Hair on my left side was so thin and scanty while hair on my right looks normal. I told my mum this and she showed me a pic of my dad when he was 29 and it looked so similar and even today my dad isn't bald but still I'm concerned bcuz whenever I use a flashlight on my head a little bit of the top frontal scalp can be seen reflecting but mom says my dad also had that.
So how likely am I to go bald ??

pictures are near useless. It looks like you might have a receding hairline but the pictures are so bad its hard to say definitively.

Not sure if I can answer your question pal. If most of your charachteristics are from your dad's side (who didn't have hair loss) I would have thought genetically you would also be inclined not to. However 150 hairs per week isn't much to lose - if it was daily I might be concerned. Take a pic like every few months of your temple area and see if it changes and then act accordingly.

Well so if I did get my mum's gene (very unlikely cuz my hair density is nowhere close to anybody in my mum's side ) , would I still start balding at this young age even if my mum's dad started thinning out at late 60s?

Technically speaking anything is possible (I've seen guys on here even younger with thinning) but it sounds genetically like it's taken on your dads side so I wouldn't worry, just monitor it.
