my dad is bald, he went bald at like 25. My mom knew him when he was my age and she knew he was gonna go bald, she says I have nothing to worry about because my hairline is very low to begin with plus my hair is so thick.
What do you mean im taking a piss? I was being honest, my hair is thicker than borats. Is borat going bald? Thanks

honestly howcanthisbe,
Your hair is fine, go get out and enjoy life, stop worrying about your hair, my recession was worse than yours at 13
You have taken photos of your hairline, take another photo in 12 month and re-evaluate it then, but for now you are fine.

Like Bobby Mcferrin said in the eighties, don't worry, be happy. No really.

IBM, yes I recede some in the corners but this could just be a mature hairline right? I mean I have seen people with mature hairlines that recede more than me.
I dont get it, couldnt I just have a mature hairline? I mean my receding is not to the point where it could not be considered a mature hairline. I really dont think im going bald since no where else is thinning on my head, I am just receding slightly. I know this could be the beginning of male pattern baldness, but it could also be a mature hairline right?

thanks guys. If my hair was as thin as borats hair I would be worried, but yes besides that my hair does look like borats.
Also I was looking in the mirror today and really examining my hairline and I think I can see whats happening.
The mature hairline can make your old hairline go up a half an inch in the center from the highest crease as well as an inch and a half on the corners. I really think if my center hairline moves up just a little (im talking a quarter of a fingernails length) it will give my hairline a broad U shape. I think thats what going on, im just still in the mature hairline developing process.
Im not certain about this, but its something to watch. On the site I read about the maturing hairline process it says it can look like balding until it stops and even sides can become uneven etc. The temples can recede first while the middle part moves up last, or it can do it many ways. So I dont know, all I know is my hair is still very thick like carpet or astro turf. Like the one poster said a while back on here I have a brillo pad, and yes I dont think its good looking but I would rather have my brillo pad rather then lose it,lol. My hair is pretty ugly and I hated that in high school, but now I dont care as long as I can keep it.

Your hair is not ugly and you shouldn't be so critical of it when many of us have real hairloss problems. I myself am an NW5a so pardon me when I say you have nothing to worry about. Just be grateful for what you have and enjoy your life.

I am very grateful uncomfortable man, I use to take it for granted but now I do not since im facing a possible hairloss problem. Im hoping its just a mature hairline though.
Its certainly possible your going bald. The best indicator is not asking people on this forum its your family history of male pattern baldness. Your genes are the first major indicator, and the 2nd would be how fast and how much hair have you lost? Its pretty easy to answer both questions then see a derm and see what he has to say.
