Will I Bald? Or Have I Already Started?

[BigDoofus]

I'm 19 years old and I recently just saw a stupid ad like two days ago that said something like "use this product to stop balding" (now I've never googled or looked up anything related to balding, so not sure why I got this ad.)

But then I got curious and decided to check my hair to see if I had any signs of balding, such as my hairline or my crown. Now I've always seemed to have receding temples and a widows peak since I was a kid. I'm not aware of anyone in my family being bald or even having crown loss. My dad is about 63 and although his hair is thinner, he doesn't seem to have any baldness going on.

Never seen anyone on my moms side that was bald. But my crown seems to be very thin and although I don't think it's particularly bald (yet), I just wanted to ask for everyone opinion. I don't seem to have testosterone problems (not sure if that matters?). I can grow a beard if I want to, I'm just naturally hairy all over and I haven't seemed to lose any hair anyone.

I've gotten a lot of anxiety over this though, and it's led me to keep running my hand through my hair and sometimes I pullout single hair pieces and I start to trip lol. I even checked my bed and didn't really see any single strands of hair. Just a normal teenager tripping even tho I probably shouldn't be. But either way I wanted to get everyones opinion on this.

Attached are a few pictures from all different angles. I'll be posting some pictures that show before me getting a haircut, and then after. Pretty much at the same angle. It seems I just have a big massive forehead too so I'm sure that doesn't help lol. Maybe lighting is just tripping me out too? Idfk man.

Crown looks fine, I see some obvious recession on the temples, nothing too bad, but I must tell you that children don’t have receding hairlines pre-puberty, puberty and the presence of DHT, a hormone that is created when testosterone is, is what causes Male Pattern Baldness. If you’ve had those high of temples since you were a child, it’s likely it is just the natural shape of your hairline.

Yeah that's what I meant mainly. I think it's just natural like you said, I used to have long hair when I was younger so it wasn't noticeable and I can't find any pictures as to when I had short hair. But 6th grade up my temples seemed to always look like that. Thanks.

It is obvious you are balding young man. It would be better you start treatment sooner you could

if you're receding - hair in the temples becomes thinner and grows slower/is shorter (noticable easier if you let your hair grow out).
if its same quality as everywhere else along the hairline you're fine.
