26 yr old am i beginning to bald

[smano]

Hi guys i've been lurking as a non member on this site for a while now. I just turned 26 and have gotten the odd comment from my parents and girlfriend that i'm beginning to bald. Looking over old photos from 20 onwards my hair line doesn't appear to have changed that much but i guess i was a little concerned that i might be. I do have a double crown and cow lick, and did get a hair cut with my sides cut to 1/2, would you guys say i'm beginning to bald?

I'm not expert but i think doulbe crown is unusual to normal not balding people?

Looks like you got some minor thinning and recession there. Got any pics from some years back?

Looks like possible minor temple recession. male pattern baldness ? Tough to say. All and all your hair looks quite decent. If things progress unfavorably we'll steer you in the right direction. Good luck.

Yea looking over photo's its clear that my i've had a bit of recession, Would i be around a N1 or 2?

I think most would opine you are still in NW1 territory. There is no NW0. Take advantage of early treatment soon.

so its likely to be male pattern baldness and not a mature hairline?

From the photos there is not enough to say male pattern baldness. You are NW1, which is the same as anyone who doesn't have male pattern baldness. You do not need to worry about male pattern baldness or hairloss treatments. Check your hair every 6 months, take pictures if you feel you need to, to monitor the situation. You have nothing to worry about. Considering how early you are coming on to these forums, with your hair, soon you will know if you have male pattern baldness or not.

Definately male pattern baldness the hair over your sideburns are thinning. I would wait until u notice more hair fall or notice any slight change in your crown before you start treatment.

You also seem to have lost some.density in comparison to your old photos

In your case I'd look out for thin hair as oppose to recession and/or bald spots you look like a diffuse thinner. Thats what I am and if my hair was fully thick my hairloss would look minimal but the thin wispy foreloxk is what made me realize.my.hair loss
