Is My Hairline Receding? Causing A Lot Of Anxiety

[Vino Koze]

I've been paranoid about my hairline for the past couple months and I would like to know if I am receding or not. Pictures below. Also I've always had a widows peak.

Looks like the start of male pattern baldness I'm afraid.

How can I find out whether it's the start of male pattern baldness or a maturing hairline?

 

[Vino Koze]

Not maturing, certainly early male pattern baldness that is quite progressive.

Your right temple is at a slope that leans to a NW2.

Are you sure about that? Seems to be different in different pictures

 

[Vino Koze]

Yes, I'm sure. This pic is more evident than the last; look at the placement of your pinky. Under it is where the thinning is occurring as well. The frontal line thinning towards a gradual diagonal V shape confirms this assessment as well. This is also with factoring your widow's peak.

So for the final nail in the coffin this picture of me with a Buzzcut from a couple months 100 percent confirms it?

 

[Vino Koze]

You're not "balding" your temple region is gradually receding. Balding includes losing crown + top of the scalp. Receding, is to the frontal line alone, which you could genetically recede to a NW2.5 then stop. Anything past that is balding, unless you're also diffuse thinning.

No I have a full head of very thick hair for now. Would you recommend me to take any action?

I do not see anything wrong to be honest. What is the baldness history in your family?

 

[Vino Koze]

I'm a NW1.5, I'm not taking action at this moment, but if you absolutely must take finasteride, I wouldn't use minoxidil.

Thank you I really appreciate it!

My Dad is bald, Grandpa from Mom's side is bald, Uncle from Mom's side is bald.

What about his right temple don't you see anything wrong with? A lot of guys on here just see a fullhead, and dismiss any early recession.

My hairline was like that when I was like 12 years old. I am 27 now and still a NWII with no min and/or finasteride. If there is a lot of baldness in his family he could consider going on finasteride when sh*t will start to go south and if he gets side effects immediately get off it.

 

[Vino Koze]

Another thing; I've always had a fairly uneven hairline along with a widows peak

 

[Vino Koze]

Get yourself a hair tooth, and pin it all back exposing your hairline. I dont know the exact term, but it's like the upper part to a headset that hold women long hair back.

Unfortunately, my hair isn't long enough for that

Found this picture of me buzzing my head from a couple of months ago. What norwood would you say this is. Note I have always had a widows peak
