Hey, first of all i'd like to apologize for future gramatical mistakes. The second thing is... What are the chances of avoiding balding in the case (my case) when my mom's dad hadn't hair loss issues, but my dad is bald and his dad was bald? I guess, it would make things more obvious that i've got my dad's hair and so it just literally kills any hope (logically) but since it seems that hair loss is quite complicated thing, what are your thoughts on that? Visually i haven't noticed signs of balding yet (although i'm 23 and my dad started to lose his hair at 24). I can upload a photo of my current state and what my dad had when he started to bald.

Take pictures of your hair situation every month and if you notice recession or thinning then get on Finasteride. The chance of you not inheriting your father's hairloss is not zero, but don't count on it, hairloss can go from nonexistent to severe in just a year or two. So it's a good idea to catch it early and try treating it.

Even if you do have hairloss, finasteride should maintain your hair for a few years, maybe a decade or two, but wait until it's confirmed you have hairloss to get a prescription though.

The problem is that i look at my head from different points of view, so the results are confusing, and i don't know which i should consider as the correct one. Just as an example: you can see "bald spots" on the first pic and none of them on the second one.

well i work in a school and i see kids with hair like that, so i wouldn't worry about going bald just yet.
i would do as said above, take a pic every month and compare them.
the only thing that will stop hairloss at the moment is an anti-DHT medication such as finasteride or dutasteride. nothing else will slow down the root cause of male pattern baldness.
