Two years later and I still don't know if I am going bald

[Tosspotter]

I have been monitoring my hairline since I first suspected a receding hairline 2.5 years ago. I always had flimsy hair at my temples, but I cannot work out if this is receding or if it's just my hairline. I am now in my mid 20's.

The barber that cuts my hair says he doesn't think it is receding. What do you guys think? I would rather know as soon as possible so I can begin treatment if necessary.

Here are some pictures from 2013 and now. I apologise for the poor picture quality and lighting in the early photos. I appreciate any input.

Not much change since 2013. But perhaps there is some slight change to the worse. Your hairline still seems to start everywhere ate the same point but there seems to be a bit less hair there than 2013. By and large, you should not stress yourself out and perhaps there is not even much reason to experiment with some treatments.

if nothing changed in 2 years then no, if i look back to my pics 2 years ago i can clearly see the difference and i have Androgenetic Alopecia

If it has gotten worse, does this mean that male pattern baldness process has begun? I am not all that well read on this subject but my understanding is that once you reach your twenties your hairline is set until you start going bald. I hope this is not the beginning..

Your hairline can still change in your 20s. It is the same with some other features of the face. It is all under constant change as you age. With the minor changes you have gone trough without any treatment whatsoever I believe that if you really had male pattern baldness it "did not really" start so far.

I am sorry

I have the same hairline (or worse). But I am only 17.
You are blessed than me ?
I feel really sorry and i can feel your pain .

Honestly, I don't see any negative changes in hair quality in the pics you provided. It does not look like you have Male Pattern Baldness. If you do have a family history of Androgenic Alopecia, then definitely keep your hair monitored. If your hair ever starts thinning worst case scenario, get on Finasteride to stabilize the loss.

Thanks for the advice.
