Receding hairline at 19. What norwood am I?

[NWquestion]

Hey guys, I'm new here. I've been worrying about my hairline a lot lately. Maybe there is nothing to be worried about, but I'd rather handle it sooner if there is an actual problem. My hairline is quite a bit receded, I think. Now the thing is I don't think it has been receding lately. I haven't really noticed any movement in the last 2 years, but I haven't been measuring it or anything. Just the occasional glance. I already noticed my deep temples at 16.

My grandfather on my mothers side still has a full head of hair and most of the men in my dad's side of the family still have hair too. My dad does have receded temples and I have heard people in his family say that deep temples are common, but it doesn't go any further than just deep temples. I do wonder what norwood I am and if I should seek out the advice of a specialist.

Normally I tend to keep to myself about my problems, but this has slowly been eating away at me and I would like at least some confirmation or advice on how to proceed next. Thanks for the time.

Norwood 2 id say. Ok

Healthy NW2. Nothing to worry about yet, just monitor it every 4-6 months.

Slightly beyond a solid NW2. I would start to be concerned too at just 19.

I would consider starting finasteride to help slow down or stop any further loss.

NW2 yes. Alarming no. Can’t see any miniaturisation except from at the hairline. If there was thinning further into scalp I would be concerned however this is absent
