Maturing Hairline Or Thinning Looking For Opinions

[Tyler Exferd]

Im 23 years old and looking for opinion on my hair line my hairline seems the same and my gf thinks so also but the front is more see through than i remember

The photos are not the best but as far as I can tell you don't have any hair loss. I'd say just keep an eye on it for now and report back here later down the line if you notice any recession or thinning.

Thanks i just think my hairline is getting less dense but nothing major just like to have second thoughts

 

[InvaderZim]

I don't see anything to worry about, but just keep an eye on it, though. You'll never know.

Looks normal. Just monitor.

Is it possible for your hair to go from thick to fine? Not sure if its thinning or just getting fine cause my scalp is becoming more visible especially when i brush my hair back

Take a pic with bright light of the top of your scalp.

I feel like my hairline is just maturing if not receding and ill have a higher hairline cause my thickness and everything is the same except the front/bangs part even when i brush my bangs down they seem less dense

I'd honestly just keep an eye on them for now. Take pictures of your hairline, the top of your scalp, and the vertex/crown of your scalp, in consistent and good lighting, wet and dry, every 3 months. I don't see any obvious hair loss. You're good for now.

Thanks I've just been so parnoid and confused latley cause my dad started losing his hair early than 23 but i haven't lost a single hair i never really shed hair either but i plan on trying to find a dermatologist to look at my head as i have very bad dandruff/dry skin and ik thats not healthy for your hair

[Alphalete]

i'm pretty sure you lose hair, just not noticing it, your entire hairline looks diffused based on latest pics

Damn...i tried watching my comb and stuff but never seen any hair could my hair just become more fine?

Tyler Exferd - I think Alphalete is being alarmist. Maybe get a professional opinion on it.

You're a Norwood 2 currently and it's thinning at the front a little. However, I was a Norwood 2 at your age and I'm only a Norwood 2a 14 years later with light thinning on the vertex/crown that started a few months ago.

Keep an eye on it and definitely keep an eye on your vertex and crown. This is the litmus test - only when you start losing hair at the vertex and crown like I have should you consider Minoxidil, Finasteride and other complementary remedies.

It could be a couple of years away for you or it may be a decade or more. There's no real way of knowing but don't get stressed about it!

If it happens, it happens but get on the Minoxidil and Finasteride as soon as it does and you'll be in a much better position than most.

Why should he wait for it to happen rather than preventing it from happening?
