I'm 16 male, Asian, I'm not even sure if I'm facing male pattern baldness.
My hairline: http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/3488/omgzw0.jpg
Okay maybe that picture isn't that clear, but here's my attempt to explain my situation. As you can see in the picture the black lines are actually details of my face when viewed 45 degrees from the top. The A side represents my left and the B side my left. It appears to me that i have a slight widow's peak in the middle of my hairline (the peak isn't very long). On the sides of the peak right, the hair line is supposed to appear straight, in my case it does, but it's a little weird that on my left, the part above the red number 3, the line is higher when compared to the part above red number 2, which is on my right. So I understand that male pattern baldness starts with a receding hairline, where you start to lose hair around your temples area, i.e parts above numbers 1 and 4. My hairline, the part above number 4, it's like gotten in deeper than its right counter part, i.e the part above number 1. And the part number 1 has a shape somewhat like a rainbow, like this:

, while the part above number 4 has a shape like this:

So like, the overall picture of the hairline can be described as:

Yeah, I hope you guys get what I mean. And some additional info: When I look closely at the mirror I can see little short hairs in front of the parts above 1 and 4. Their length ranges as they go higher above the face. In the past few years I have not been paying any attention to my hairline so I do not really know how it changed. Also in the past I've been eating a lot of instant noodles (like almost everyday sometimes), my friends said it contained MSG, which causes hair loss. I have not been consuming instant noodles for the past few months, and since then I've been monitoring my hairline, and I think it's been the same, but then again some people have said male pattern baldness affects them for a period of time, then stops and then continues after a while. Also, last year when I went to cut my hair, this guy told me to stop using anti dandruff shampoo (which I think I did use for a while), he said it caused me to lose my hair in the front as shown.
Help is appreciated. Thanks.
