17 And Rather Worried About My Hair

[Calebkl]

Hi, I am just turring 17 and have been tracking my hair for almost half a year. I started doing this because I started seeing alot more of my hair sheading and it started freaking me out. I started taking pictures to see if i saw a big difference but I just dont feel objective and would love some input. I have always had a "high forhead" and a U shaped hairline, and have 0 histiry of balding in my family, both my mother's side and my father's. I will include some pictures (in c

hronological order of course). Thanks to all.

Definitely balding

Hate to break it to you, but it does look like you're receding/balding. However you did start with a high hairline and the first picture does show your hairline was straighter. It's forming that M shape and miniaturizing in front. Because you started out with not so great hairline, it looks worse. You're Norwood 2.5 going on 3.

If you have zero balding on either side, it's unfortunate you started so young and at 17, you may also be too young for Finasteride. Perhaps use minoxidil until you're a bit older. It's up to you to decide at this point.

When you say zero hairloss on either side, any of your family member receded even a bit?
