Dht has no effect on brain development. People born without the ability to make 5ar (precursor to dht) have shown no impacted cognitive ability. Dht is used mainly in developing male characters. The majority of that of which are completed by 16.

As far as not being physically or mentally mature, what are you basing that on?

A quick google search tells me that DHT is responsible for the biological characteristics of males, including a deeper voice, body hair, and increased muscle mass. You think a 16 year old has developed all of those?

I fail to understand what you mean when you say “just fine” balding doesn’t happen overnight it can take 15 years in some people. Most people won’t pick up on anything until you have a bald patch. As far as what’s normal about the same percentage of men go bald that get a mature hairline so your argument about most men getting one doesn’t hold because most men go bald.

What YOU CONSIDER male pattern baldness doesn’t matter. male pattern baldness is hair loss due to dht. Do your research mature hairline is the same process as male pattern baldness.

I am not talking about aesthetics because that’s relative to each person. I believe going past a Norwood 2 looks bad and it’s better to shave it off. However some people on this cite would kill for an N3 or N4.

Renaldo is balding however slightly. He probably started late in life around 30. So he will likely hold onto the majority of his hair. However he will continue to bald but at a slow progression rate. If he had his current hairline at 17 he would bald at a faster rate since dht sensitivity increases with age

My point was that most men that do have a full head of hair end up with that little loss, so in your reality 95% of men are slightly balding which is perfectly fine with me. I simply don't see those men as balding lol. Brad Pitt for example isn't balding to me but he is to you because he lost some hair. Most on this forum would agree with me.

No need to do any research on my part. Did it for 5 years and know more than enough. I have other issues.

Ok if you are basing this on your own personal viewpoint that’s fine. I would agree that anything above a Norwood 2 looks alright.

My point was that a lot of guys especially young guys get on this forum thinking the process of a “mature hairline” is somehow different than the balding process in general.

There is also a difference between getting a “ mature hairline” at 17 vs getting one at 30. The former will likely bald earlier in life where as the 30 year old may never go past an N3. This is due to dht sensitivity increasing with age.

I would say calling it slight balding is more appropriate. “Mature hairline” is just a confusing term and a polite way to say slight male pattern baldness. The term causes a lot of men not to seek preventative treatments when they should. I would consider a mature hairline as a warning sign.

Also Brad Pitt is a Norwood 1 still has a juvenile hairline I.e. why he looks so good. Johnny Depp or leoanardo Dicaprio are better examples of mature hairlines.

Excluding body hair which may not develop until mid twenties + yes. Honestly most balding men hAve overly developed facial and body hair because of dht sensitivity anyway. Dht also has nothing to do with muscle mass that’s testosterone. Voice deepening past the age of 16 this has more to do with age rather than DHt as it occurs in women also. The vocal cords are fully mature in the late teenage years. You don’t see many 16 year olds with a high pitched squeaky voice found in children. Having a male voice vs having a child’s voice is what dht is responsible for. This process is completed around 16.

Yeah, that was the confusion. Brad Pitt's hairline has receded slightly compared to his teen years. His hairline is my definition of matured (i.e. deadstraight hairline) as opposed to a rainbow shaped hairline which I call juvenile.

Depp is obviously balding. He has significant recession and I would not call that matured, rather just balding.

Olvier Giroud is my definition of having a juvenile hairline, NO opening whatsoever in that hairline lol.
