Hey all, I've never really paid very close attention to my hairline, and I usually keep it on the longer side. I recently decided to try something new and cut it short, and realized that my hairline has backed up quite a bit near my temples. I'm just looking for some advice on whether or not I have male pattern baldness.

For reference, I'm a 26 year old male, no family history of male pattern baldness. Both of my parents and grandparents all have full heads of hair. Here's an album with a few shots of my hair. The first four pictures are after a shower and blowdry, the last two of my crown are before a shower. I've also attached two pictures of my hair from 5~ years ago for reference. Appreciate any feedback on whether I'm for sure going bald or whether it might be something else. Last thing worth mentioning is that I have a Vitamin-D and Folic Acid deficiency (Diagnosed this year, been taking supplements since)

Thanks!

Looks like male pattern baldness to me. How is the thyroid?

Definitely male pattern baldness. You're like a nw2 heading to 2.5
