Hey.. Simple question: Is this a receding hairline? If not what are these baby hairs??
I'm not sure if I've always had them or not, but I do know that I've most likely never had a clean NRW0 hairline, I'll include some pictures of my hairline when I was about 6-7 when I had shorter hair

These long hairs under your hairline don't look miniaturized, females have them too, if it helps.

1. I don't smoke or take any substance..

2. My Dad is about a NRW 2-4 I think he began balding in his early 40's around. MY Grandfather is 76 and has pretty much all of his hair

3. My uncle went through chemotherapy, and I never really saw the stages of his balding though he's about 55 or something now and has lost pretty much all of his hair. My mom's side i'm not too sure...

4. Though if it's relevant I do have sebhhoreic dermatitis according to my Doctor. Very itchy around the crown area, I've been taking a cream on and off to help it.

@DHTpolice

So does it look like recession? Or anything I should be worried about?

Huh.. So what does it look like? Receding/Maturing? Natural?
Forget about the hairline you had in early childhood. Your head is growing in size during puberty, therefore you can see some changes on your hairline.

So it's simply my head growing that's making the hairline appear distorted? I don't know..
I'm confused as hell as to what is going on, as far as I'm concerned my hairline could be maturing receding or just is natural as it's always been a little weird shaped, with my crown as well, always grew forwards and backwards from the crown leaving a line shape, but every time I seem to look at i can see scalp and it looks fairly thin, though that could ALSO be due too a poor diet, sebbhoreic dermatitis bad hair care and whatever else, I had got my hair cut shorter and it still looks relatively the same.. If I could get a kind soul to give me an
evaluation on what is going on I'd be forever grateful so I could leave this forum..
I can provide as many pictures as needed I've been so paranoid I've been taking about 100 pictures every day

I also have a few questions though about "Mature Hairlines".

1. Is a Mature hairline normal at 14/15?

2. My best friend is about a 5head and has what I think is a NRW2, though it's literally always has been like that from as far as I can remember. Two other friends of mine have what appears to be a receding or mature hairline, though they have loads of thinning around the crown, not sure if it's always been like that. in addition many people in the year above me have the same sort of NRW 1 or something hairline I do, does this mean everyone will go bald in there early 20's? Or is it just natural for hairlines to mature at this age??

Most of the images are me with slightly damp hair, so that could make it look thinner I guess..
Shorter more buzzed hair is me when I was around 6-8

You already asked

"I would kill my entire family for your hair ...
Nothing to worry about. Even if you were balding you could not do nothing about that because you're too young to take drugs like finasteride or minoxidil. But again there is nothing to worry about. Enjoy your youth ... time flies too fast."

Rendez-vous in a month, don't forget to ask the exact same question and receive the exact same answers.

I apologize for that.. But I feel like the answers don't exactly line up, the fact that there's nothing going on seems a bit eerie to me, is the crown really supposed to look like that? lol.
Also have two questions as well

1. Is a Mature hairline normal at 14/15?

2. My best friend is about a 5head and has what I think is a NRW2, though it's literally always has been like that from as far as I can remember. Two other friends of mine have what appears to be a receding or mature hairline, though they have loads of thinning around the crown, not sure if it's always been like that. in addition many people in the year above me have the same sort of NRW 1 or something hairline I do, does this mean everyone will go bald in there early 20's? Or is it just natural for hairlines to mature at this age??

And no I'm not here to patronize or make fun of anybody, it just seems way too abnormal to my age is all. My concern is valid, I think anyone would jump if they noticed there hairline having the typical NR1 shape and a unusual amount of hairfall.

YOU HAVE TO WAIT ! Nobody can tell for sure you it's hair loss or nothing. Just wait ... In my opinion there is nothing to worry about. If there is something wrong with your hair you can't do anything, because you're too young to take any medications. So you have to be patient and take some pictures every 6 months.
You will make yourself sick if you're obsessed about something you cannot prove it exist or not. Just enjoy your life ! You're young, don't waste your time, you have a head full of hair, you should be happy ...

You really have nothing to worry about your hair ... It's just mature hairline, it's common among teenagers.

Even if you are balding (which I doubt), there is nothing you can do to stop it now, unless you want to end up as a sexually underdeveloped male or even a girl. Current effective drugs (DHT-inhibitors) are not recommended during puberty.

You probably have male pattern baldness gene (like 90% of men), but it doesn't mean you will be slick bald in the future. Just relax and wait untill 18, then start treatment if you are so paranoid.

Alright.. I appreciate the replies, thanks a lot
I guess I'll try to keep an eye on it over the next year and such to gauge progress.. Seems 50/50 to me, hopefully I'll stop obsessing over it
Good luck to you guys,
