Wow ok that picture is very helpful. So you would say I'm still at a juvenile?

NW0 because your hairline still holds the round aspect instead of sharp and square

I was talking about both to be honest. Personally I would take that as a compliment if I were you. Man, we're talking about Brian Wilson!!

Hello All,

I am 20 years old and for my entire life, I have always had a great head of hair. Recently however I have noticed the widow's peak I have always had has become slightly more pronounced, and that my temples seem to sit slightly further back than I remember them being. Please let me know if I am just being overly paranoid, if this is a "mature hairline", or if I am observing some kind of male pattern baldness recession. Please be honest and if you aren't sure, please dont rush to a rash conclusion. Want as solid advice as I can get before going to a doctor. Thank you all so much.

PS: The two profile shots of my right temple are a year apart. This is the area im most worried about, does it look like recession/male pattern baldness??

My hairloss started like that, where people on this forum were telling me I had a mature hairline. Turned out it was male pattern baldness. Hairline started forming a widows peak with extremely thick hair.

If you have lost hair, it's hairloss.

See a derm if worried.

Your not losing your hair. Please ignore.

I really appreciate that! May I ask what makes you say that?

I explained it in an earlier comment. You have slight recession yes, balding absolutely not. If you were balding you would notice thinning hair at the hairline and this would taper off further into your hair. Your hair is very thick and your hairline is clean cut.

slight recession is how it starts

OP please see a derm if not sure

Some dumbass comments saying it's a Norwood 0 lulz. The fact that the centre is still a widow's peak and the rest has moved means that the centre is the only part of the hairline which is Norwood 0. In other words you have a mature hairline (NW1-2) with a retained centre aka widow's peak. Your density is good so it's difficult to tell if you have hair loss, however there is another method to check.

Measure between your eyes and centre and then measure both your corners down to your eyebrows. Distances should be similar (give or take 0.5cm) and perhaps more in your case due to the widow's peak. Any major disparity = hair loss. Personally I think you may have mild loss at one of your corners, good news is you probably need only few hundred grafts in each corner in a worse case scenario. Nice low forelock so the result would be great, even now it looks fine.

Just a maturing hairline. Also, zero thinning. Your good bro

Always starts off with recession and thick hair

Given your family history, it is unlikely male pattern baldness. It is most likely a mature hairline. You could check with a dermatologist if you want.

Just got a haircut, I know it's a pronounced widow but my corners dont seem to really go above the actual forehead part of my head? Idk if that makes sense or im just deluding myself here, 24 in a few weeks.
