mature hairline or balding?????

[Skilledshooter57]

Hey I’m 21 and never rly looked before but am nervous I’m losing my hair, could be just my hairline maturing, am I tripping or should I be doing something proactive while I can... Always have had a big forehead so I leave my hair down, hence why I never really noticed. Thanks for the helps cheers men

Difficult to say. You're temples are receded, though only very slightly - looks like maybe an early NW2, if that, to me. Might be worth going to a dermatologist to see if there is miniturisation going on currently. If there is, you caught it well before most and would probably benefit from finasteride and minoxidil if you want to maintain.

This was me at 16 compared to 20 earlier this year with a buzz cut

Doesn't really look like it has changed hugely, could easily be maturing. Still, see a derm if you're feeling anxious about it. Better to be over cautious than to have it get worse imo.

Happy to help man. Glad I could answer your questions.

Look at your family history and that enough should warrant getting on treatment given you’re already a NW2.

Mature hairline doesn't exist, it's all the same physiological process. People just have different rates of disease progression and sometimes it can plateau for a number of years.

Some men can only lose a bit of hair at the corners and that’s it. Also known as non aggressive loss.
