I'm 16, what is going on with my hair?

Pic for reference.
Some things to be noted:
- I have low iron.
- I stress a lot, and with this new "discovery", I'm reaching suicidal levels.
- other side is kinda normal.

Can you tell me your race and if you have substantial beard growth yet?

I'm Indian, and I have slight beard hair appearing (shaved for the first time last month, because it did not look tidy, very thin beard hair)

Now because of Columbus not knowing where he landed, can you tell me which country you are from? It relates to beard growth.

 

[JaneyElizabeth]

And language in terms of being Dravidian or not or being more so Indo-European? Nobody but me studies ethnic patterns or few but beard growth is bad for hair growth to be succinct.

Okay. Do you have baldness in the family?

My maternal grand father is bald, however my maternal uncle (40) and dad (45) have very good hair. My paternal grandfather has thick hair, and he's close to 80

It's just one pic and I will look at more if you like. Seeing the entire face helps but from that pic and what you say, I think it's male pattern baldness which seems to be really common among Indians and Pakistanis from the sub-continent. Only 16 sucks because that requires some hard choices. If you do in fact have male pattern baldness, what is your choice in treatments and when? Because most of them except minoxidil might curtail some vertical growth.

 

[Forfucsakewhyme]

I'm not resorting to treatments. I'd rather just own it. Maybe get an smp and pretend I shave it "by choice" . Besides, buzz cuts have suited me in the past so I guess I should probably just get used to it. Let me know what you think

You are receding

Hey man, how did you deal with it? This is really depressing.

Using a lot of drugs

That's unfortunate. Would you recommend smp?

Search it up man. It's basically a hair tattoo. Scalp micro pigmentation

You should do that

you are a norwood zero, you do have hair loss but whats happening is youre losing youre juvenile hairline to a more mature norwood 1

smp is a permanent disaster and it will look like someone drew a helmet on your head with a marker. dont ever get it

What's my best shot if it gets worse by the time I'm 20 then?

Beard + buff?
