Well, should the loss escalate atleast your head shape and beard are both optimal to pull off the bald look.

I know this is not what you came here to hear. And I wouldn't advice against a HT when you're approaching your 30's. I'll just throw it in hoping it gives a little bit of comfort atleast.

Thanks for that however I’d never want to be bald, I really enjoy the sharp hairline look. Might use toppik and dermaroll for a couple years

I think you have a decent looking hairline, if you go to the barber often and do the lines. I'd wait atleast 5 years before considering a transplant.

 

I mean yeah it’s okay but those temple corners piss me off so much, not even sure what to do besides a transplant. And I don’t want sides from fin

I would not advise you to have a hair transplant yet. To be honest your hairline isn’t that bad, I know there is more pressure for black men to have square straight hairlines like Drake or Usher. But not many men keep their juvenile hairlines like them.

 I would wait a few years to see how things progress. One of your uncles looks to be similar to Stephen A Smith. If you end up at that level, it will be difficult to cover such an aggressive hairline. Have you tried fibers? A good barber and some fibers could give you a really good hairline.

 

I actually just ordered some fibers to use while I work with minoxidil and dermarolling. Hmmm that’s true he does kind of look like Stephen A, on a rough estimate how many transplants do you think I’d be in for if he was my worst case 

Hey all I’m 23 and since I was 17 the temples of my hairline have receded and I have very minimal crown loss . I’ve been using minoxidil with dermarolling for the last 3 months on my hairline but all I can see are very tiny vellus hairs along my hairline. However for the past couple days I’ve been having day long migraines and I suspect it might be the minoxidil so I’m stopping use until around next week. 

This is Me

Side Angles

As you can see my temples are fairly receded and if I were to fill them out straight across I would have a relatively normal hairline for a black man

Now the general consensus for getting hair transplants at this age is to not do it because they can look worse as you age. Everyone recommends fin however I don’t want to live my life in fear of side or of the crash so I’ve decided against it. And also, my family on my mothers side has a history of balding primarily on the hairline. Not sure about my fathers side , my dad is bald however .

Now these are my uncles on my mothers side , all of these pictures are taken between the ages of 30-50ish 

Uncle 1

Uncle 2

Uncle 3

And this is the only uncle I could find on my fathers side, here is his hairline

Now as you can see the guys on my mothers side have fairly receded temples with their widows peak stop being pretty far out. They’re not slick bald but they’ve chosen the bald look which is cool for them but not something I want to do. 

Looking at their hairlines and mine would you advise getting a transplant at my age? I don’t mind getting a couple throughout my lifetime and I’m actually scheduled for a consultation with Dr. Diep next month.
