Looking for some honest opinions on my hair (23M)

Hey guys, I previously made a post here but was looking for some more opinions. I've posted current hairline pics and crown pics. My hair is long on the top and short on the sides in these pics. Do you think my crown is just parting/cowlick? Everyone says I have really thick hair. I have been noticing lots of loose hairs but I've always had those when I used to have really long hair. Also I've been under lots and lots of stress, depression, and anxiety over various things and now this is concerning me. Thanks guys.

You have a little thinning in your crown but it's not too bad. Your hairline is like a NW1.5-2, could stay that way for years or could get worse. You can either just let natural take it's course or look into Finasteride. Don't let the fearmongers stear you away from finasteride, it will help you get that lovely hair for years to come.

In my opinion, I personally don't see any signs of thinning in the pics you provided. The best you can do from here is to go see a hair specialist and get checked for Androgenic Alopecia. If you have miniaturization of any sort then you'll need to get on Finasteride to maintain your hair.

Those hairline picks are not good enough, pull all your hair back to show your entire hairline and then take a picture of it, then take a picture of each temple without it being as zoomed in as it is in these current ones. Yes your crown is thinning, yes there looks to be some miniaturization at the hairline but from the pretty terrible pics you put up I wouldn't say you were near NW2 at all, it is only slightly recessed I would say but I may be wrong. You need to do better hairline and temple pictures.

Here's some more. Doesn't that last one show that it's more the way my hair parts/cowlick more than thinning?

Thanks for the response.

In my opinion, I thought the pictures were very good. And he can see himself in the mirror, as far as his forehead is concerned.

What do you mean?

Yeah they are better, idk though you might be receding but if you are it's very slight. In those photos I would say you aren't even 1.5. Your crown had some thinning though which would be sorted out by Finasteride. It's up to you but I would say your hairline is in great condition although if you choose not to act it could get worse very quickly.

Honestly you might have slight recession but we don't have an idea of what your hair line was before. Honestly you're a NW1 due to the slight temple recession. You will probably never be a NW0 again but most men aren't so don't worry too much about that. Your crown is a little thin. It is really hard to say that you are definitely balding. Like Agustin said go see a hair surgeon and ask him to check for male pattern baldness. Also a good place to ask for meds like finasteride.

i don't think you are thinning on the crown despite what some people say, and your hairline looks fine to me. At this point you just need to keep an eye on it. I really don't think you have any hairloss however.
