I have attached some pictures of my hairline. (Ignore the skin visible at the part, I think that's just because I tightly parted it with my hand to show the area I'm talking about)
My hair seems to be receeding. It's receded quite a bit at the temples, and not much at the middle (no loss at vertex). However now it seems to be thinning only in the middle at the front. The hair in the centre, going from forehead to about 1.5 inches in, gradually gets longer until it's the same length as the hair on the back. I assume this indicates it's in the process of falling out?
I have read about the different norwood types, do I have the anterior type? I'm unsure as it definitely started out like the normal type, and according to posts like this: https://www.hairlosstalk.com/intera...r-hairline-recedes-in-a-straight-line.109484/
And the diagram attached to it, it will normally be anterior loss from the start (which it isn't in my case, so far 95% of the loss is temples).
I would really appreciate any input on this, I had been hoping it wasn't hair loss as it wasn't getting worse at the temples, and no history in family, however now I'm worried I might have this anterior norwood pattern.
