Hi everybody,
First of all, I apologize for the mistakes to come, I'm French and not used with writing in English (and I'm not even talking about hairloss vocab ) :whistle:
I've been worrying a lot about my hairline. I'm 21 years old, and it's quite high.
Let's take a look at my family :mrgreen: :
- in my mother's side, everybody has kept his hair till death. They all have a very high hairline like me, forming a U, and which looks like a rectangle when you face them. My mother also has this incredibly high hairline, that looks just like mine.
- in my father's side, men have male pattern baldness. My grandfather started to lose his hair at 45, and my father just started losing it (he's 47, and one can barely see the top of his skull, if he bends). However, my father started taking minoxidil when he was 30 (he had a lot of problems with his hair, and seeing that his father had male pattern baldness, he was advised to take minoxidil). They have (or had) a lower hairline, forming a V.
And me ... well, even if i look like my father, i must admit i have the typical hairline of my mother's family (when i come back home for Christmas, i'll take pics of my mom to post them here). And I've had it since i was 14 (my mom says i always had, but the first pics that prove it were taken when i was 14 or 15...). There hasn't been any receding since, i've got thick and dense hair.
So, considering the pics below, what do you think ? Is it indeed my "mother's side mature hairline" ? If so, does this mean i've got chances to have a male pattern baldness less pronounced than my father and my grandfather ? :roll:
And, above all, will i have the great relief to know that it'll probably take a few years (let's say 10 :hairy: ) before noticing a real receding (or something else) ?
Thanks in advance,
kirbyyy
PS: Right now, i've got quit long hair (to hide this hairline). I tried to "put them up" to take the pics, but they have tendency to "fall", which gives the impression that my hairline is beetween a U and a V, whichis not the case; i'll try to take another pic to show it more clearly.
