Am I Balding? Anxiety Ridden 18 Year Old, Any Help Much Appreciated

[Anon1999]

Hi all!

Basically, I am 18 years old and very paranoid about everything in life ahah. I scrutinse over everything in my life and recently I’ve been focused on my hair. I was wondering if my hairline is normal or am I balding? I’ve always had a widows peak and pretty big forehead (if that makes a difference). My dads 55 and still has a decent head of hair (no receding hair or anything just thinning) and my maternal grandfather never lost any hair but who knows.

You arent balding. And u say ur dad has hair so most likely you will be safe for a while.

I disagree. He ain't balding 100%

You dont see receding temples?

That's his natural temple,I can say that by looking and I'm sure of that. male pattern baldness recession and natural recession is easily distinguishable. Hairline is solid throughout that shape of his hairline.

You still need to work on your norwood spotting skills

He has high temples but there is no thinning at all. I bet if we see a picture from him at 13 years old he would have had a similar hairline.

Literally some people on this forum will tell anyone they're balding if their eyebrows and hairline is disconnected. OP you're 100% fine NW1.

You say he's balding? my hairline is worse than his and you told me you didn't see any recession lmao get your perceptions consistent!

To OP you do have some minor recession. It may get worse or it might not. If you notice it is going further back I would consider finasteride.

You have thick hair and your before after pictures are the same u just have high hairline and big forehead.Stop crying like a b**ch pls your hair is 10x thicker than this guys

I don't think you're balding. Hair is thick and hairline is solid. His pattern is taking the shape of Paul Ryan's. He's in his 40's and is a NW1.
Definitely seek other opinions but I wouldn't be too anxious bro

Hairline looks good. Not balding.
