Hey everyone,
I'm new to this and have recently become a bit distressed about my hair loss. I've always had very thick dark hair and it wasn't until around the age of 18 that I noticed my hairline had matured or had got higher, this didn't phase me as I know a hairline is supposed to change as you get older, however two years down the line now I'm 20 and the difference has really started to become noticeable and my hair has started thinning and receding rapidly, so much so that other people have now noticed and started ridiculing me as I am the only person people know of at my age to have started to really be effected by hair loss.
It has really affected my confidence as I feel that it doesn't look healthy or how it used to, it makes my general appearance worse and just make me look and feel older than I actually am, it is a constant effort to cover it up and I just wish that I could have normal hair cuts.
I am posting some pictures exposing in full light the extent of my recession and thinning frontal hair, I would really value some opinions on how bad it is for my age and of course advice on what I can do to treat it. I realize it may be early male pattern baldness but I have heard the earlier its treated the better chance there is of maintaining hair, I've decided to stop covering it up and rather would tackle it even if this means a hair transplant at some point down the line.
Many Thanks,
S
