Hello guys, its my first time in this forum. Lately I have been very self concious regarding my hairline, Im 21 years old, am I on a route to male pattern baldness?

Looks fine to me.

Thanks for the reply, quick question,based on the Norwood scale, where am I at?

 

[Trex55545]

Can someone else give their opinion please?

I can't help but wonder, are you not sure what age you are?

Sorry, anyway, the 2nd picture shows the temples are receding, in your early 20's they usually shouldn't be back that far. You can picture a line of where a strong or common hairline would be, to where it probably was a few years ago, and yours is undoubtedly going back, sorry to say. But hope that gives you a kick to accept it's happening, and get to work on it (which isn't as hard as it sounds).

I'm not a great judge on Norwoods but maybe approaching NW2. Which isn't bad at all, the good news is you can pretty much try to maintain the hair you still have and you'll never be regarded as "bald" or even noticeably receding, so you don't have to worry much about re-growth if it doesn't happen for you.

Thanks for your opinion, I have never really looked in to my hair, but looking at my old pictures, I could see that my temples were high even when i was 14, therefore, Im confused if its male pattern baldness or just a mature hairline.

The struggle is real.

Isn't norwood one is like normal mature hairline? and it doesnt mean that its male pattern baldness, because everybody has some degree of recession once they are in there adult years. Am i right?

 

[Trex55545]

Well it really depends on a person and head shape i guess, but isn't a lot of norwood 1 people dont go bald at all? and in my case is it necessary to start using midoxill?

I'm not an expert on norwood judging and even I know that's not a Reagan-esque NW1. Cmon now.

It's at least 1.5 some may say 2.

I went to a derm by the way he said my hairline is normal, however Im going to go to another one soon, for second opinion? what do you guys think? thanks in advance Norwood 1-1.5? male pattern baldness? or normal hairline?

 

[Trex55545]

Thank you everyone for your opinion and replies, I dont want to bother you with endless questions. I Just want a clear answer, I had such temples for a LONG time even when I was like 17-18. Does it mean that its male pattern baldness? or is it just normal adult hairline? based on norwood scale from the latest picture, where would you put me at? Everyone has some sort of recession as far as i know, so does it mean thats its male pattern baldness? am I a route to baldness? thanks you once again?
