Mature Hairline or Balding? pics

[northnorth]

I turned 20 in April and I justkind of think that I am going bald. I am very self conscious (sp?) about it.. My family doesn't think I am balding, a random hair dresses where I get my shampoo at said that I wasn't balding (didn't even ask her, an employee was helping me and she said something about thin hair etc).

The catch is my whole side of my dads family is bald. I've heard that you get you're hairline through your mother's father, but he died in his late 30's. He had blonde hair just like me and wasn't going bald

right above my pinky is where it ends

Just kind of developed that little indent into my forehead

You can get any non-androgenic form of balding from your father's side of the family. You've definitely got some temple recession going on there along with what might possibly be some thinning in the front right as well. Luckily you're blonde so you've naturally got a denser amount of follicles to cover up the damage for a while.

Technically a mature hairline is what it's called when someone get's their hair loss under control before they lose everything. So basically it's up to you, will it be a mature hairline or baldness?

Definite balding and I think it could be aggressive considering you're 20.

That's great, I laughed a little at that

Thank you for your post

Right now, I take finasteride and have been for about... 6 months? I also you nizoral 2% once a week. I am thinking about taking midox, not sure if I want to.. but I will.

My hair just messes with me constantly and makes me trip.

It looks like your recession is in line with your sideburns- which, according to my dermatologist, is a mature hairline. I had a good friend who had a hairline like yours at age 17. He's 32 now, and his hairline hasn't changed a bit. If you're concerned, see a doctor before jumping on medicines because strangers you don't know on an internet forum say you're balding.

My hairline was deeply receded, coming onto NW3 terrain (I am definitely balding), and still was further forward than my side-burns. I think that term is very over simplified and definitely isn't generalisable for everyone.

No way Jose! Hair loss is determined by miniaturization, not where your hairline sits in vertical relation to your sideburns. Your dermatologist makes a gross oversimplification about hair loss with his little theory. You can see clear recession on the left temple in the first picture. I don't care where his sideburns are!

DefiniteLY male pattern baldness

You have the EXACT same hair as one of my best mates!

His receded to about that level at around 19/20, and it hasn't changed for the last 4 years!

So may just be a mature hairline!
