17 y/o Receding?

[Emkoemo]

Im 17 y/o. I rarely looked at the hairline but about 4 months ago i noticed that my hairline isn't straight and i started freaking out. Now i look at my hairline everyday and i don't know if it is my mind but i tell myself that my hairline looks horrible. I am scared that i will be bald in the near future.
My dad's side never had receding hairline, even at his 70's my grandfather had ALOT of hair on head-so does my great grandfather. I gotta add that my grandfather and great grandfather both had curly hair and it seems that i inherited that from them.

But my mother's side looks worse. My grandfather has gone bald before his 30's and my mother have thinned hair (she's 55)
Please help me i'm freaking out!

Hair looks good. Unfortunately since you have aggressive hairloss on your mother’s side you’ll have to keep an eye on your hair when you approach your 20s. Take these same pics (same camera angle, good lighting, hair length etc) again when you are 18 and compare. Repeat every 6 months after. You won’t notice changes obsessively looking in the mirror every day. That will only ruin your mental health.

Try to find out more about your grandfather’s hairloss…what Norwood level was he at 18? 21? 25? You won’t necessarily follow his pattern but the more you know about the family history the better.

Now go out there and live your life.

looks like a mature hairline, its normal for mens hairlines to not be completely straight after puberty. both sides are even, which means it could be a mature hairline, its really too early to tell, give it 6 months / year if it works get on meds

no such thing as a mature hairline

hair loss is hairloss

hair loss is hairloss

But given that the OP has strong hairline we can only guess whether he stays at this point well into his 90s or starts diffusing in a Norwood 6 pattern at some point in his life.

Visiting a trichologist and undergoing a trichoscopy might help with finding the early signs of baldness though, far before there is a noticeable thinning.

by the time he finds out he would have lost density and it would be noticeable

my hair loss started the same way and I wish now I had jumped onto the treatments I’m on right now, I may have better density

it’s easier to maintain hair than regrow it

That's why I'm recommending to perform trichoscopy, because it gives an opportunity to spot the early signs of androgenetic alopecia far before it starts to become noticeable.

Androgenetic Alopecia starts with higher hair diameter diversity on the crown than on the sides and on the occiput as the hairs shrink unevenly before any significant loss of density has occurred.

It's also better to find out beforehand whether the trichologist you are going to visit has the software that allows to measure the hair diameters and density so you could monitor the state of your hair whether it gets worse or whether you are responding to a treatment.

I don't know how costly it is in the US tho (or whichever the OP's country is).

I def agree that he should see a professional
