I would say so, but I would also argue a mature hairline is bull crap made up some hair transplant doctors to lower expectations and give men something more realistic with current crappy treatments. Clearly there is not such thing since some men and women never get mature hairlines.

I think the mature hair loss definition is pretty vague, because if your hair recedes some then thats the sign of a receding hair loss. If your hair loss has always been the way it is now then I would consider it to be a mature hair loss. My father who's 58 is still a Norwood 1, I consider that to be his mature hair loss, because f*****g 58

Not all men get mature hairlines but the vast majority do. The ones that dont are just the lucky few that keep their juvenile hairlines.
As for the original poster I'd say he has nothing to worry about and he's probably a good example of a mature hairline.

How can you tell if it is receeding or maturing?

See, this is what I never get.

You cant.
You just have to wait and see, but millions of men lose their juvenile hairlines in their early adulthood and then it barely changes over the next 40/50 yrs.

The guy I talked about in my last post (the one who's girlfreind said has kept his hair) he's had the same slightly receeded hairline for over 10 yrs and his older brothers in their late 40's have the same hairline aswell, so I dont expect him to be going bald anytime soon.

What similar to mine? When did his slightly receed, in his 20s?

I am 25 atm, nearly 26.

That could very well be just a mature hairline.

If you're really worried, take some good photos and compare with them in 6 months, see if there is any change.

Staring at your hairline daily and you'll manage to convince yourself it is disappearing even if it isn't.

Absolutely don't be getting on minoxidil or finasteride/dutasteride though.

Much worse than yours and his receeded in his early 20's.
You're just getting older, hair changes as you get older wether you have m.p.b or not.

It's very hard to tell if my hairline has changed, I know it's been stable for a year. But it was definently a juvenile hairline 2 years ago.

Really awkward period atm. I am using topical spironolactone, was thinking of starting minoxidil.

I see a lot guys who are NW0s at my age.

It annoys me like hell.

People are different, some guys have 11" c**** some guys have 5"'s some guys are 6'5" aged 17 but if you're 5'7" at 23 not much point in letting it get to you.

Topical spironolactone is no big deal, but if you start minoxidil and you don't have hair loss, you may go through unnecessary shedding and make your hairloss fears come true.

It being stable now really does suggest that you've just got your mature hair line. Most men get partial recession at the temples that stops.

Take photos, check back in 6 months.

Yeah hopefully that is the case.

This has been really driving me nuts for the past 2 years due to it's unpredictability.
