Is it a Receding hairline or just a Mature Hairline (16 years old)? With Pictures

[artik]

I have noticed it a few months ago when I had a new haircut that my hairline looks strange? Is it normal? Thanks in advance.

I don't have a family history of premature male pattern baldness (expect one or two great grandfathers), my father is 50 and still has a full head of hair, so did both of my grandfathers at that age. But I still think Im a bit thin on the corners... I asked a some relatives/friends and most said that it's normal, but a few that they see it as thin too...

Unfortunately, I have no brothers/ uncles at all...I have a cousin, but he is only a few years older than me and shows absolutely no signs of balding... though he inherited his hair from his father...

Looks like a mature hairline to me

Take wet pictures under more bright light. When my hairless started at 16 it looked about the same as yours

Well it doesn't look bad as far as I can tell, minor recession if any..but monitor it going forward, keep in mind you will probably not retain your 16 y/o hairline forever. don't stress, because if it worsens you can use minoxidil until youre old enough to consider using an Anti Androgen. For an official diagnosis and treatment plan, its best you see a hair loss specialist or hair transplant surgeon

Replace hairloss with BDD* in your case.

Looks fine right now, keep watching it without obsessing over it.

Hard to say from the pics and harsh lighting but i'm not seeing any signs of miniaturization from the pics.

Looks fine to me. Take pics every 3/6 months and look for changes.

simple way to put it,

could be a large forehead (no offence) or it could be the earliest signs of recession. Keep an eye on it and see a specialist if it really concerns you.
