little bit about me, lost 12 pounds in 4 months. Currently using rosemary oil and aloe vera gel, daily scalp massages, along with eating a "hair healthy" diet. I use vanicream shampoo and conditioner if that matters as well. I noticed thinning approximately 4 months ago, but took the above action 1 month ago. Dad is bald and so are maternal uncles. I am genuinely wondering whether I have a double cowlick, balding, or a mix of both.
So frustrated that I'm not getting a clear answer, this is my last resort

Looks like just a double cow lick. Share pics of hairline to see if male pattern baldness exists.
Even if it isn't male pattern baldness, I think it's possible for you to get the cow lick to look better with needling or even minoxidil.
I would also suggest a different hairstyle to conceal it. Maybe even hair fibers could be a solution if you don't want to change hairstyles.

Hairline looks good. I don't really see male pattern baldness, I think you just have a double crown. It's possible that you are either in the early stages of it, but it is possible that you naturally have low density. Asians and hispanics rarely have severe hair loss. You could possibly thicken that spot with needling and/or minoxidil, change hairstyles, or use concealer.

Your overall hair is good.. But as you get older ..as a male ..hair typically deteriorates.. it’s just the way it is.. Your skin may wrinkle or sag.. So perfection is unattainable .. but for me & for you it is: what actually works & what is sustainable ..I am always learning new things & try many of them.. The problem is there is no silver bullet.. no single treatment which will accomplish our goals..
In the DHT realm.. Besides Finasteride & Minoxidil (vasodilator) which are the gold standard — but are lacking ..we now have CB-03-01 Powder (also called Clascoterone powder)
which attacks DHT at the follicle receptors..& isn’t systematic & negligible sides. I just got a supply & will mix with DMSO to see if it does anything..
In the massage realm (also try micro needling once a week on Total scalp (not just thinning areas) for 15 minutes a week..
There are laser light, micro current, PEMF for the (got to try everything crowd/-ME)
There is copper peptides powder..
So lots of possibilities..
The essential oils —don’t work for me..
Jupiter zinc shampoo at least improves scalp a bit.. Ketoconazole did nothing for me..
So get a routine & keep tweaking!

If u want to inhibit collagen production and speed up skin sagging then use oral min or topical. Fastest way to age.
Seems like a double cowlick.
Since you have family history, just monitor the situation. Try to find out if your dad and uncles started balding aggressively at young age.
Repeat these photos (cowlick and hairline) with same lighting conditions and camera angles etc again in one year then compare. Repeat every year. In the meantime, go out and live your life and stay off the forums.
