Receding hairline at 16, Pictures

[Anon587]

Johesian when I was 16 my hair was like yours too, I'm now 20 with a hairline thats getting much deeper, I was in denial that it was male pattern baldness for a few month but it looks like you have male pattern baldness

How much your hair will recede is the question but its likely a lot considering you started young

See a dermatologist.

Try finasteride when you turn 18, and then Minoxidil if you want to try and get some regrowth.

I disagree, I think you are fine. I have a widows peak with high temples and it stayed that way for 34 years. I'm only now starting to thin out and recede. I would not do anything other than nizoral shampoo. Your hair looks good, honestly. If you notice within a year or two that it looks worse, see a dermatologist.

Probably male pattern baldness. The earlier you act, the more hair you save. finasteride is the only preventative that works. It's your call whether or not to start now, but if you don't, you'll probably lose more hairline and there's no guarantee that finasteride will get it back when you do start it at 18. If it was me, I'd see a specialist and then get on finasteride ASAP.

Had a bit of time to wait, hasnnt gotten better, even if it is its to early to notice, but im not sure if gotten worse, looks like sides of my frontal hairline are starting to turn into a square through the middle, and my right side my frontal hairline seems to have more recession then the left, not sure if im right but have soem pictures, discuss

OH NW2 U shape... is normal... VERY natural :roll:


on the plus side you got a thick mane. get on finasteride ASAP

You might be balding. Most likely you are, I would NOT however recommend getting on finasteride. I am a med student and DHT is extremely important for embryonic development and for male puberty/development (age 13-22). Ideally, you should not be on finasteride until at least 24, but I know that many (myself included) cannot wait that long. I would wait until you are minimum 18. You are still extremely young and DHT is very important, not only for your male sex organs/secondary characteristics (voice, muscle growth, height, bone density, facial hair) but also for your psycho development (your intelligence).

Please wait until you are 18.

Goodluck
