Is this the beginning of male pattern baldness

[jksimmons]

Not sure if I am experiencing the beginnings of male pattern baldness. Noticed thinning around the crown of my head about 3 years ago. Everyone in my family including my girlfriend said I was crazy except for my friends who I can count on to be brutally honest and would say are you losing your hair? Before this I had a great head of hair. The front of my head as well as my hairline is very thick. It is only around the crown area where it seems to be thinner/shorter. Idk if this is just the makeup of my hair or I'm actually losing it. I can not tell if it has gotten worse since I originally noticed it 3 years ago. Here are some pictures. Please give me your honest opinion. '

Thank you,

If you hair is naturally fine then it looks normal.

My hair is much thicker in the front.

looks like thinning. How is the hair pull test? Pull hairs out of the crown area easily? Looks like male pattern baldness to me

If it is male pattern baldness I would start finasteride 1mg or 1.25mg daily and nizoral 1% or 2% twice weekly (do NOT take more than twice weekly)

the hairs don't pull out easy
