Please Help, 20 years old.. Is my hairline receding?

[kman23]

Hey guys, I know a lot of people post threads like this but I'm a VERY anxious person and for the past 6 months or so I've literally be obsessing over the possibility that my hairline is receding and that I'm going bald. However, it's hard to tell, which is why I'm finally coming her for some input. I've brought this up with my brother and mom who both tell me that I'm being ridiculous and that my hair is normal, I've bugged them a TON about it so they have definitely had a good look at it.

Before I go any further:I think my hairline has always been the the way it is now. I just think that I'm finally paying attention to it. Looking back on old photos my hairline doesn't much different. Maybe I'm in denial.

Some Background:

My dad is completely bald on the top of his head, he just has hair on the sides all the way to the back.
However, both of my dad's brothers (my uncles) have full heads of hair and all the males on my moms side have full heads of hair.

This obsession is getting to the point where it is all I think about, and I'm literally thinking about it throughout the entire day. It makes me sad and angers me at the same time as I feel like throughout my whole life my hair has been my favorite thing about myself.

Below I'll post some pictures of me as a younger kid as well as some current (20 years old) where my hair is both wet and dry.

Thank you in advance.


Old Pictures: Most of these pictures are around the age of 14-16

As you can see in many of these pictures I've always had a similar hairline.

Really sorry for all the pictures. Hope you guys can help me out here. I really hope that I'm freaking out over nothing.. but this has been all I've been thinking about for a long time.


Thanks everyone! Really appreciated.

It does not look like you are receding. If you start to shed miniaturised hairs that will give you an indication.

"Before I go any further:I think my hairline has always been the the way it is now."

I agree. Your hairline is better than 9/10 peoples and your hair is extremely dense.

You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Get out of this place and just keep an eye on your hair.
