You’re not receding I’m 15 and actually receding dude

 

[Nebula74]

Yeah, looks to be some mild recession. You should be good to you're 18 then you can start on finasteride

You're too young for any treatments except Minoxidil, but your thinning is so mild that you don't need it yet. If it gets worse, speak to your parents about using it

You have any clue how my hair loss might of happened cos I’m really scared as I’m experiencing this much earlier than most people

Bro, I'm 18 and my hair is fucked up too, it's probably a combination of unlucky genetics and poor sleep cycle, stress.

The first thing you have to do is accept that you're receding, it's the hardest stage.

It looks like your left temple is becoming a NW1.5 whilst your right is still a NW1. So you caught it pretty early.

I'd say monitor it for three months

If it gets worse you should ask to go to a dermatologist, and they will probably tell you to use Minoxidil. Once you're 18, and if you're happy with your current level of development, you can start Finasteride, like I just have. It should stabilise your hair loss for a while, till we have better treatments available.

Best thing you can do now is not stress about it. Trust me, I've been stressing out about my hair and I literally made it worse ( I tried to use a dermaroller and it made loads of the hair on my crown fall out)

Some people's hairlines record to NW2 then stop for a while so you might be safe.

Is your hair getting any better from the treatments

Just started them. But here's my hairline now. Realistically treatment is to maintain what you have, not make extra gajns

 

[Jameswu2004]

I’ve given a further look and can still see some baby hairs among the receding parts because your 16 it’s best to go the derm now to see what they can provide you with however if your unfomfortabke I suggest you take vitamin d hair vitamins which contain biotin, these can also be in the form of gummies,

Someone told me my hairline is a solid 1.5, so that's receeding?!

Hey dude. If my hairline is a 1. 5 does that make it automatically receeding if it isn't below 1. 5?

 

[Nebula74]

1.5 means it's moving to a Norwood 2 so yes technically it'sreceding, but it's not that bad

 

[Norwoody]

Nothing to be devastated about at all. Early stages and not even really noticeable. Good that you caught onto it early.

 

[Jacoby77]

So I'm going to be bald? This is the sign. 1.5 means I will be bald or receed in the next years till I gotta buzz it? Damn. My family has good hair.
