Got a quick screen grab from a video I’m in and it looked quite noticeable to me. Am I just having BDD or is my recession noticeable?

As an advanced norwood spotter, I probably wouldn't be able to tell. The first thing I notice when I meet someone is their hairline and if I met you I'd think nothing of it because most men I see have this type of hairline. Normies only notice baldness when you can see diffuse thinning.

Can't really tell from that angle. Need a closer inspection.
This is a screenshot from a very short vid on my buddy’s Snapchat story and it concerned me. I’m always more focused on my thinning crown than anything, but when I see this I wonder if my hairline is noticeable too.

Here’s a pic of it at its best, and a pic of me pulling it up. I was outside all day and maybe the wind showed a little more recession?

Not the best at judging norwoods, but i'd say strong nw2 or something, your hair is not bad at all, i would just switch to dutasteride and be done with it, you will probably maintain for most of your life

Ehh if I’m already maintaining on finasteride (which I’m 50-75% sure I am) I’d rather not risk the side effects.

also I mean the original picture, does it look noticeable to you? Or no one would bat an eye?

Oh right, sorry, i still thought you were thinking about dutasteride, if you are content with finasteride then that's fine.

No normie will notice recession in any of the pics except when you're pulling it back.
