Hey guys,
I'm new here but this has been something I've been watching for over a year now... Am I showing signs of going bald or is my hairline just maturing? I have a serious widows peak that I never really noticed until last year but my parents say I've had since I was little. My mother has one as well so she claims genetics. My temples also seem to have receded during my time in high school, which I also noticed early last school year. (2015/Age 16)

My father has lived most of his life with a receded hairline, probably around a Norwood 2 to a 2.5. He has hidden it well because he has thin blonde hair that we wears sort of long and brushed forward swept to the side.

One of my grandfather's went bald in his 30/40's and currently wears a hairpiece (trying to avoid this fate). My other grandfather is in his mid 80s with thin, but still somewhat visible hair. He probably was about a Norwood 3 into his 50s and 60s but then started showing further recession.

Anyways, back to my question: Am I losing my hair?? Or is it just a "maturing hairline"??

(All the pictures are above. The one in the car is how I've been wearing my hair lately. The tuxedo pic is from 14 months ago to give perspective)

Looks like a healthy head of hair to me bro. As with everyone, you may start losing it at some pt so pay attention. You have zero miniaturization the past the hairline, which is great. When hairs get lighter/thinner past your hairline, that is when you need to start worrying. A little bit right at the hairline is pretty normal. Go live your life you're too young for treatments anyways and you don't need them at all yet.

Good job hiding your face then putting a pic of your face in last pic lol, you might want to edit that?

Seems fine to me, but now you are aware just check up on it in 6 months, don't worry about it too much because it looks pretty normal

You have full head of hair don't worry. If you notice any recession just check your family and see if anyone is balding if no one is, then you're just maturing.
