As the title suggests I am still a bit worried about my hairline, specific the area right at the corners on either side where it looks like there are fewer hairs.

What would you say what Norwood I am currently. I have a very now hairline right now, but I am fearful its going to get worse. I know its not bad at all for my age (26), but I still can't shake my anxiety over this being a early sign of male pattern baldness

Really? My hairline is still only 2.1 to 2.2ish inches (three finger widths) from my eyebrows? Is this just a maturing hairline or should I be concerned that its male pattern baldness?

I am really worried about this. I started using a dermiroller this week so hopefully that will help. How much worse does it look compared to older pictures

Are you serious. Oh my god, is it really that bad? I am panicking.

Please tell me you are just f*****g with me. People have been telling me it doesn't look that bad but is it really a NW3?

Don't listen to him. You are a 1, maybe a 1.5.

Okay. At this point does that mean my hairline is probably just maturing, or should I be worried of it slowly receding further?

I see you're 26. At your age and stage it's very difficult to say that you will never experience hair loss, you've just got too many years of living, but I will say this "You're safe for a long time".

Just keep watching your hairline, maybe in a decade you might see it recede further and look at finasteride or some other treatment..

Okay. I guess now I just need to find a way to stop worrying about this, as it feels like the anxiety about it is starting to take over my life.

Does the thinning at the very corners look like its in danger of getting any worse? Thankfully it looks like it only goes for like 1/4th, maybe 1/3ed an inch for being thicker.

My hair was basically like yours when I was in my twenties, and just like you I was worried about it. My hair stayed essentially the same til my late thirties when I went to Norwood 3. Today I'm 44 and I'm 3 vertex.

Okay, that makes me feel quite a bit better. So this is a NW1, maybe NW1.5 right now then? And I should just try to relax and not worry about it?

Ome last question does it look like its gotten worse compared to the pictures fron 4-5 months ago? What about the one from a year ago?

Going to leave one final set of pictures, these to help give a better look at my hairline in proportion to the rest of my head
