Balding or just Paranoid?

[Sintest94]

So couple of months ago I posted some pics under thread: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/showthread.php/71035-Concerned-19-year-old-NW2-1-5 its been like 3 months and I'm still having my suspicions, so this time I took the pics right after shower and under flash. So what do you think is this early male pattern baldness or just me being stupid.

probably paranoia until you provide pictures with better lighting

crown pic is absolutely fine. front may have thinned very slightly but i can tell you're gonna be fine for aaaages unless you have a family history of baldness. and by that i mean baldness, not just slight hairloss.

 

[Sintest94]

Well my dad is bald. But my mother's side is fine.

Here are some better pics, What do you think guys, is this early signs of balding.

 

[You're a Wizard Hairy]

Not easy to say. Give us a picture of younger you or take some HD pictures of your temple hairline. Your crown isn't thinning I'm quite sure.

 

[talmoode]

your hair looks just fine to me

 

[Justeone]

looks non balding to me

 

[Sintest94]

Ok, made a last set of pics with hair gelled back and fanned back, obviously something might be brewing up.I do not know what to do I what this hairline to stay how it is or maybe improve a little.Should I wait more time or do I jump on finasteride now? What do you guys think?

 

[IrishFella]

Wait for six months or so and retake pictures and compare then to now. Just keep an eye on it. You're an NW2, not everyone has a straight hairline nor keeps one even if they had one during their teens.

 

[CursedMen]

Like they said keep taking pictures, but you are not a NW2 at most a NW1.

I agree. I don't see any signs of hair loss in your pictures.

Don't worry, in a few years you'll be one of us and you'll know what it feels like to be socially gimped, mocked and rejected by women and be continuously told a cure is coming 'within 5 years'.

That sounds like a rough life. I though Canadians were really nice.:turned:

To OP, after viewing the gelled photos, it is hard to say. You could be looking at some recession in your future in the corners. Crown looks good.

Being socially gimped because of baldness isn't exclusive to Canada. It happens everywhere. It is a rough life... for some, its destroyed their life.

Sounds like fun times

Yeah. Prepare yourself for the worst... you're going to be the butt of all jokes... and it'll be women doing it. I hope you're rich.

 

[Sintest94]

Omg I'm so high right now I dont even know what to say

 

[james555]

temples have moved back a little - everyone looses hair a little - just take care of your health rather than worry so much about it.

 

[TheHandsomeLurker]

Yeah, your hair looks fine.

The gene which is most correlated with male pattern baldness is on the X chromosome (there are certainly other genes involved, though), so if no one on your mom's side goes bald, then it's not terribly likely that you will.

That's awful, and has not been my experience at all! I really want to send you an internet hug now (and in case I need to textualize it, I'm totally not kidding).
