It is hard to tell if it is receding or maturing right now. My friends hair started maturing like yours when he was 15-16ish. Now we are 21 and he still has the same hairline and density as he did 6 years ago. In this time I started diffuse thinning badly in a NW6 pattern and had no hairloss with a NW0 hairline until my 21st birthday. Hairloss is too unpredictable bro but your dad having good hair at his age is a very good sign. Most sons dont bald faster than their father.

Definitely receding. Do you have family history of baldness ?? If so tell me number of your close male relatives and their hair status .I will tell you if your hairline remain same or worsen.I am good at telling hair fate of someone.I has been doing research and observing male pattern baldness for last two years.

If this helps too this is my hairline normally without pulling it back

thanks for providing family history and front hairline photo. that given,i would say you are baldning but in coming years two or so you're hairline will stabilize(at NW2) and remain there.cant say how much years it will remains in stabilized state but from your info provided, i think you will probably hold it until your 50's. so you are on safer side from my knowledge .
great density btw.what your girl says about your hairs? asking out of curiosity.

That’s pretty far back for 16... I’d put money on balding, but the best option is to probably take pics every 3 months to see if there is progression

 

[Sliceofbread]

Yeah, that’s probably best. I’m not trying to deny it or tell myself that my hairline is fine, because it does seem very far back. I’m just hoping it stops soon as a mature hairline rather than progresses any further.

Hopefully man. Even if it stabilizes I would still keep an eye on it, you definitely have some of the balding gene atleast so I'm pretty sure it would eventually start up again

 

[Sliceofbread]

Yeah I do expect to lose my hair at some point. But the earliest anyone in my family really started balding is my mother’s brother around age 30. His hairline didn’t receed though really, his hair thinned out to the point where he has almost nothing left. At 46 he still has a straight hairline but just very little hair on his crown or top of his head.

Ya man nobody in my family is balding, sometimes life just sucks. I hope you have many years of hair though

 

[Sliceofbread]

Thank you. I guess you win some, you lose some. My hair looks fine when it’s not pulled back. I’ve got a friend who’s looked like he’s been receding since he was about 10 so Im not the worst and can currently pass it off because it’s not too bad for now. If you don’t mind me asking, how’s your hairline/ hairloss?

Mines not too too bad, I’m Norwood 2 with a small amount of diffuse thinning, just turned 28. I’m mainly worried how much it will progress....

 

[Sliceofbread]

I’d definitely be happy with that at 28.Not so much the thinning but Norwood 2 seems okay. Especially at 28, you should have a quite slow rate of hairloss. I’m not really that educated on the Norwood scale but on the basis of the pulled back photo of my hair what would you say I am on the Norwood scale, I am literally pulling it to the limit at that point to see how far back I could get it? If it helps the temples of my hair are about an inch from my highest forehead wrinkle, not sure what that means in terms of hair loss. I’m quite new to this since my family don’t think I’m balding and I’m stupid.

Yup thinning blows, much worse than receding.

I’d say like 1.5 or 2? Within the realms of a mature hairline
