I'm 21 and I think I'm losing my hair.

I'm in denial too. Basically I'm 21 and have had super thick hair. I've finally grown it out to the length I want and I noticed my hairline is receding. I don't wanna be bald before I'm 30. Is this as bad as I think? Or is it natural and I'll keep my hair for a long time?

Welcome. You look good man, but I think you are at the beginning of experiencing male pattern baldness. You have miniaturization in the temples. If you look at the second pic from the stop (8438) you can notice diffuse thinning in the middle. Luckily, you caught it early and can now consider treatments, if hair is that important to you (which I am assuming it is, otherwise you wouldn't be on here). schedule an appointment with your dermatologist. In the mean time, thoroughly research finasteride and minoxidil. Please don't waste your time and money buying natural crap, it does NOT work. Most of us have tried it. Learn from our mistakes. Good luck brother.

I can't be certain. I suggest having a miniaturization test done.

This will give you the most concrete answer that you're looking for.

I feel bad starting to lose it at 30, I wish you the best friend. I'm still learning to manage myself and wish I could help more.

It does look like you are beginning to experience hairline recession, but it looks totally fine right now and no one probably even notices (except you). Also, the fact that you notice it now in the very, very early stages means you are in good shape and can stop it from going any further. I actually address ways to be proactive about stopping hairline recession from continuing on a blog of mine (https://attackplan.wordpress.com/2015/09/18/maintain/).

I'm essentially in the same boat as you man. Genetics suck.
