Any advice fellas? 18 years old with a receeding hairline.

I like that the article told him to get on propecia rather than just shave it like most others do.
Yeah it even said he doesn't have the features to pull it off, unlike most who say you'll look like The Rock bro.

Who is that guy? did his hairline stay the same or did it recede further?
Rory Calhoun

by looking at some pics it seemed to stay that way for most his life, only moved a touch towards his 50's/ 60's

Despite the hair genes, he looked pretty ancient for his age though.

In this photo he is only meant to be 63?

What about this guy?

Early balder? :rolleyes: Too much testosterone? lol.

A V-shaped hairline is not the same as male pattern baldness. It's a genetic trait.

That does not mean that if you have a V-shaped hairline you will never go bald. It just means if you're 20 and you have one, you don't know either way, and it doesn't mean you are going bald at the moment.

I don't know what you are trying to say at this point?

I think most people already know that genetically not everybody has a ruler straight hairline.

But regardless of the genetic shape of your hairline if its progressively miniaturizing behind the hairline, and therefore moving unevenly every single year, then obviously you are likely to be balding, if people don't know either way, and want a definitive answer they can just get it checked out with a scope, to see if active miniaturization is present.

For people whose hairline is static and doesn't move from 15-50, like Rory Calhoun, then yes that's just your natural hairline shape, but all the other examples in this thread like Henry Cavill, Jamie Doran, and Harry styles etc. are going to be classed as balding because their hair line is clearly getting more receded in the corners, from one photo to the next.

No, some people are literally saying that a V shaped hairline = balding.

Only 1 person in this thread has actually said that outright though.

For the most part, the people who are commenting on those celebrity's hair are doing so because they can see some obvious recession.

Okay, but this forum is still rife with BDD-maniacs with full, thick hair who think they're going bald because they don't have a dead-straight hairline, never mind an actual real V-shape.

Yer, the point with a lot of those guys is they never had a straight hairline to begin with, and it hasn't actually moved in any of their pics.

It would be a lot easier if they just mentioned that their hairline has always been like that, rather than asking guys on here if they are balding.
