Is This Male Pattern Hair Loss Or A Normal Hairline?

I'm 21. Just for context, my maternal grandfather and dad have a normal head of hair while my paternal grandfather went bald.

I’m scared my temples seem a bit receded - does it look this way? I don’t feel any hair where those gaps are, where I feel like it’d feel like thin hairs there if it was really receding but I could be wrong. It’s got me quite worried if I’m honest.

The second to last photo is a pic of my maternal grandad’s hairline, and the very last one is a pic of my temple around a year ago.


Edit: This is apparently the same hairline my twin brother and I have always had. My mother and grandfather have this hairline too. We apparently just have this shape of hairline which looks recessed.

if you had always hairline like that then it is your normal hairline, if you think it has receded then it is male pattern baldness

I have to really pull my hair back to see this angle at my temples. I don't think I have photos from awhile ago showing my hair pulled back like that. Maybe just monitor it, and if there's no change in several months I can assume it's normal?

Yes do that, your hair looks fine anyway, I don't think you should worry as long as you don't have thinning

I've never noticed any thinning and I've never noticed my hair on my pillow or combs or anything.

Normal male pattern baldness.
If you want to gradually thin out do nothing
