Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted December 16, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2020 Not trying to be an alarmist, but looks like those temples are thinning out, yes. 😕 Any family history of hair loss? If there is, how bald are they on the NW scale? Good thing is you'll probably respond well to treatment at such early stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted December 16, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2020 Sorry, I just found your post from last year where you mentioned that. Well, compared to those photos I would say it's progressing rather fast. 😕 Especially on the right side. It's not bad, I just wouldn't let it go any further, now it's the best time to stop it, or end up regretting later. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogomi Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hello again, thanks for responding last time, but I have a few more pictures I would like you to look at. I have some friends who have a triangle shaped curve at the edge of their hairline. I believe this is normal and is a mature hairline and I’m wondering if mine is that or a receding hairline.

Senior Member Zinedine Posted December 17, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2020 It looks like it's receding yeah but... I wouldn't worry too much right now, you are just 17. I would visit a hair doctor and see what he says... but I wouldn't even consider a HT at this point... Also, some outdoor photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member uklex0608 Posted December 28, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Looks like it could be looking at your earlier posts for comparison. However right now it's at a spot most of us would kill for post surgery. I would definitely talk to a doctor about Finasteride when you're 18, it's easy and it's cheap (I started losing mine very slowly at 16). It nearly stopped mine in it's tracks when I started taking it at 25, unfortunately it's a commitment though, as once I stopped taking at 28, well it caught up, and I just had a hair transplant at 31.

Senior Member DenverBuff1989 Posted January 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 1, 2021 definitely a receding hairline - thinking this is anything else is just denial. Recession at the very young age of 17 will lead to significant balding in your 20s. Hop on Fin asap. Also see your primary doc and/or a dermatologist to rule out any causes other than male pattern baldness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2021 Do you have hair loss in your family? If yes, than it is likely receding slightly. No need to go crazy, you’ve reached it at the perfect time, if you start meds now, you’ll save your hair for many years to come. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Nogomi Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) The weird thing is that I don’t. My grandpa on my mother’s side had almost all his hair when he died around 70 years old and my dad who is 60 has only very minor hair loss. Admittedly my grandpa on my dads side did start losing his hair at around 40 years old, but I see no reason to think that my hair should start falling out at 17. I have looked at my crown and it looks no worse than it was 1 year ago, so I am mostly just confused. Edited January 9, 2021 by Nogomi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Usexpat Posted January 9, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted January 9, 2021 Stress and excess styling can also cause hair loss. My grandfather died in his 90s with movie star hair and my dads 84 with enviable hair I suffer from anxiety and stress which no doubt led to my hair loss I am no expert but echo an earlier comment that your hair looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
