16 Year Old Concerned About Hairline

[adam_w._steven]

I'm 16 years old, and for about a year or so I've been noticing that I have quite a large forehead, and I also have a bit of a widows peak. I was wondering if my hairline is receding, or if it is just mature. If it is receding, is there anything I can do to stop? In any case, is there anything I can do to reverse it? All help is greatly appreciated

has your hair always been the same? Or have you noticed it go back at the temples?

Well I used to have my hair down until I was about 12, before puberty. Then I changed it to sticking it up which is how I've had it since. I can't remember it being as bad back then, I think I've just lost my baby hairs through puberty but I'm not sure. I only noticed it was getting high around a year ago, and it doesn't seem to have gotten any worse.

If you don't have proof it's receeding it's not worth looking into treatment since it's for life. I suggest taking photos at the same spot/lighting every few months to keep an eye on it. Your memory can play tricks on you, good photos won't. If you are balding there are a few trearments like finasteride (you might be too young) or rogaine.

Your hair looks a lot like mine I think. I haven't been actually diagnosed yet, but I had fine blond hair at temples that are now gone. I keep putting off going to a derm. We're too young for finasteride anyway. Rogaine is a pain to use I hear bc you shed a lot and have to apply everyday.

Furrow your brow, it'll show us whether your hairline has receded or if your forehead is just big.
