Regular Member cc89 Posted July 20, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Ever since that haircut I had two months ago, I noticed that the temporal area on my left side seemed to have a parting that was difficult to cover up. I hate having partings that area, so I always had to spend a few minutes trying to cover it up by combing it forward. I went for another haircut a few days ago, and what used to be a parting before is now starting to look like recession/thinning and is impossible to cover up. The right side on the other hand seems fine for now. Taken today: http://i53.tinypic.com/23lmnt4.jpg Taken six months ago: http://i53.tinypic.com/255if13.jpg Again, I'm only concerned about the left side. If you compare both sides when they're combed over, you'll see exactly what I'm annoyed about. If this actually is recession, why is only one side affected? I'm 22-years-old at this time.

Senior Member Levrais Posted July 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2011 That area tends to thin out on many if not most men as they get older even on men who never actually go bald. But its hard to say if its thinning or not which is a good sign 5700 FUE in 3 procedures with Dr. Bisanga View my patient website: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member cc89 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yes, there's a chance that it could be hairline maturation, but why is it only affecting the left side? The right side seems perfectly fine to me. The difference I've been referring to is more noticeable in the photos I took today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of your situation based on the photos, but hairline maturation and also hair loss can definitely proceed asymmetrically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member cc89 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 21, 2011 If it's too early to tell what this is, then what are the chances that this might just be maturation? I don't know the difference between a juvenile and mature hairline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mattj Posted July 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2011 I can't really see any difference between the two sets of photos. In both there is little evidence of hairloss, so I can only go by your word that you've noticed some sort of change. The asymmetry is not unusual. Hairlines usually recede in an asymmetrical pattern, and in the very early stages of hairloss this can mean that only one side shows any evidence of loss.
