Hello. My hair is thinning in the temples. It all started right after my dog died and before that I was stressed as it is and I use to over masterbait and go sleep at 3am. Before the thinning I was a stable norwood 1.5 or 2. I noticed the thinning around last December and it got more noticeable around april the same time I tried this Dr Organic hair shampoo and had a really bad allergic reaction. Which took my scalp months to recover from. The thining has stayed the same in the temples since April. There is no bolding in any of my family, uncles ect. My brothers are all older than me and they are all solid norwood 1s. How bad is my hair loss? Is my crown ok? Is it genetic or is it due to stress and could I recover or get worse in time. I am going to sleep earlier now and have been eating healthy since 18 and listen to peaceful music to lower stress.
I have attached photos of my crown, temples ect. Please be as honest as possible. Thank you

Its not that bad in general since you are still thick everywhere that you have hair but it is bad for 21 because you have slick bald on ur temples. Since those areas are slick bald already its gonna be unlikely that current med options will bring it back.

It's really not that bad. Asking, "How bad is it for age 21?" is kind of irrelevant in my opinion...balding at a young age is just in your genetics. It's probably like a NW2.5-3, relatively early stages of male pattern baldness.
I know it's depressing and it sucks (I was in your situation at age 21), but treatments really do work. Be happy we live in a time where they're available. Just get on finasteride and monitor your hair every few months...try not to obsess about it.

I'm 20yrs old, you're a direct look into the future for myself. I'm contemplating utilizing finasteride; thanks for post this.
This is figuratively a slap in my denialism regarding androgenetic alopecia I truly appreciate it, thank you.

As far as I know, sudden baldness or hair loss caused by stress or some traumatic experience, usually gets reversed once the stress in gone. It would take time but your hair would go back to normal. As, you have specified, hair loss doesn't run in your family, so it is quite unlikely you would experience it. You should consult a hair loss expert to understand the cause of your hair loss and which treatment would work the best

Its quite obviously male pattern baldness. I know you are only trying to help but this is not caused by some deficiency or illness, the receded temples are textbook male pattern baldness and treatment of finasteride and minoxidil would be required if OP wants to treat it.

Blowing your wad can cause this kind of (aggressive) hairloss my bruvva, but if you collect the blown the cream of chram and reapply it on the scalp it may or may not help you on your way as it contains healthy proteins and other goodies

There are a few other forms of permanent hair loss that can manifest similarly to male pattern baldness, but these are extremely rare. You almost certainly have plain old male pattern baldness. The fact no-one else in your family has male pattern baldness does not mean its not possible for you to have it. Often male pattern baldness can appear out of nowhere. You are pretty much a Nw3. I think you should go to a dermatologist just to make completely sure it really is male pattern baldness, and if so, definitely look into getting on finasteride as soon as possible. If finasteride turns out not to be powerful enough in your case, then it is time to consider Dutasteride, its stronger alternative.
