Maturing hairline or balding?

[bojangles2123]

Hi, I'm a hairloss newbie. I'm kind of panicking. I don't know whether or not I'm balding or my hairline is just maturing. I'm 21. My father has a head full of hair, my mom's brother is bald. However my mom's dad had a full head of hair when he died (he was very old). From what I've read, the "bald" gene usually stems from the mother's side. I don't know exactly how to take this as this is all a shock. I've always had a head full of thick hair. I've purchased a product called Lipogaine out of desperation, although I haven't gotten around to using too much of it. If you guys could help calm me down and determine whether or not I'm balding, I would really appreciate it.

hi you seem to have high temples and very thick hair else where. Go see a dermatologist to confirm if your hair is actually thinning and in the meantime, keep an eye on it. Regarding bald genes, I got that from my father's side........I wouldn't worry too mcuh at this stage..Good luck

Thanks for your input, I'm definitely going to go see a dermatologist soon.

It all depends on what your hair used to look like which you would know better then us. If you suspect your losing your hair I would say trust your instincts, but from the pictures its going very slow and not that noticeable so take comfort in that.

From what I can tell you have a little miniaturization around the hairline at the temples but your hair looks very thick behind that... probably just a mature hairline settling in... Keep an eye on the crown and watch for miniaturization beyond the hairline...
