Am I balding? (pics)

[poop1]

Hey guys, just joined today. Super paranoid about hairloss as Im sure we all are. I have a big forehead. Now I dont necessarily think I am receding, however it may appear that my hair is thinning as I can somewhat see my scalp now :/.

I have an extremely healthy diet. Eat more than enough greens, drink a gallon of water, eat fruits, take biotin 10k mcg, fish oil, vitamin E. Even use biotin shampoo.

I do notice strands fall out, but, nothing crazy.

What do you think?

Personally I think your alright. It's receding at the temples, but if you use finasteride or Minoxidil now, that will probably stop.

Ive been hesitant on it for the side effects. In order to block the DHT, I have been limiting masturbation, drinking green tea, eating pumpkin seeds. I guess the rest is up to genetics. Fingers crossed I can make it to 35 with hair. Im 25 now.

You can live healthy and take all that stuff you mentioned but it wont over power genetics. Front of your hairline looks to be be thinning in my opinion. Also looks a little re/irritated but could just be the photo.

I definitely do think your hairline is receding, but it's not that bad. I recommend you try some of the standard treatments, such as minoxidil, finasteride (as long as you're aware of possible side effects), low-level laser therapy, etc., to prevent it from continuing. That is basically how my hair looks right now, and I have been noticing hair loss for three years.

"Limiting masturbation" will not lower DHT; if anything, masturbation would cause DHT to decrease, since it would keep testosterone levels lower, and there would be less available testosterone to convert to DHT. However, I would think the effect would be extremely minuscule or nonexistent on hair loss. Of course, limiting masturbation does have other positive effects, such as keeping testosterone levels high, but I don't think it has any real effect on hair loss either way.

Considering you're 25 and your hairline hasn't receded at all that much, you should be fine. That being said, finasteride will slow down the receding even further.
