Maturing Hairline Or Recession/balding?

[Kade]

Hi Everyone,

To start, I am a 16 yr old male that has always had a pretty weird hairline. However, lately, I feel like it has receded a bit. Do you guys think I'm just maturing or something more?

I think it is maturing. You most likely will eventually have a problem (recession/balding) though right now it is fine.

Thank you. I don't mind going bald when I'm older, but I'd like to keep my hair for college and high school.

Your family is a good indicator. Your hair should be fine for HS. You can always take Finasteride or use Minoxidil in college IF it becomes an issue. There should also be more treatments coming out in the next 5yrs, so if you do end up needing treatments you may have more options than what are available now.
