24m - How Bad Is My Hairline Receding?

[hobrodude]

Looking at these pictures, would you say that my hairline has started receding? If so, what Norwood would you think I am?

Dad and older brother both have the horseshoe shape, so just trying to figure out if it I should worry about male pattern baldness, and if so, whether I should start treatment (and when).

Thanks in advance!

Norwood 2.5-3.

Thanks, @Outsider626. Got my Summer buzz today, and am really noticing it receding much more. Any opinions on whether I should start treatment, and if so, what?

I'm similar to you and also have receded temples. Between Norwood 2.5-3. Seems like Finasteride 1mg is the way to go to preserve remaining hair that you have and it even might regrow some lost hair. I've myself been thinking about it for the last 6 months or so and still scared to jump on it because of potential side effects. A little safer option is Minoxidil foam but I heard that it doesn't work well on the temples. Still might be worth to try it. In the future i'm thinking of doing FUE. I've been quoted between 2000-2500 grafts to fill in the temples.
