Hey everyone thanks for all your input, this has helped me get a better idea on my hair! I actually took some recent pictures because I saw that some people were still hesitant. Hope this helps!

your boyfriend has MPB. I can tell by the diffuse thinning he is showing on the front . Didnt see it on the Crown.

Its still early so tell him to get on fin or expect to lose more and more.

You cant see the diffuse thinning on the crown because the hair is too long - you'd need to lose 50% of the hair before it becomes noticable at that length.

I'd buzz it to a grade 2 and see if you're developing the horse shoe shape.

Not sure how I'd feel about my gf posting pictures of me on a hair loss forum. lol.

Anyways, it's hard to tell if he has MPB. I'd monitor it. Some guys get a hairline like that in their mid to late 20s and it never changes.

The crown and hairline are visibly thinned out. Luckily, it appears he is still in the early stages. If he's not scared, I'd say he should hop on finasteride and try to maintain what he's got. Also, his head shape looks good, so if he has to go the bald route, he should be fine. Diggin' his current hair style as well -- that's how I get down.

Also, I kind of lol'd that you went out of your way to hide your face in the first 4 pictures, then just didn't in the 5th. Whoops.

Looks like a mature hairline, I would not do anything, nothing is visibly thinned out.

Drybone is wrong also.

It does not look to me like you have anything to worry about. This looks like a natural hairline and your crown looks normal.

So it's safe to say that most of you guys thinks its just a mature hairline?

It's not really safe to assume anything with hair loss.

I noticed mine as early as last July, and started getting concerned around October 2012.

First I told myself it was TE, then I told myself it was a mature hair line, then I pissed around instead of getting finasteride because I let myself get scared by what the fear mongers were saying.

Then, finally at the end of Feb 2013 I got on the finasteride after I was already pushing NW3.

So, no, don't assume anything. If he doesn't care about being bald, let him go bald. If he is interested in learning more, have a dermatologist look for miniaturization.

[Morbo]

I'd give 75 % that it's probably nothing.
Just keep a small eye on it. The way his hair is looking now and you'd still have doubts, whatever he does do not get him on meds before he sees a dermatologist first.

@staythick Thank you for your input. I apologize but I didn't realize how sensitive of a topic this was to men and I don't mean to hurt him or anything, I simply just care for him and wanted to help out. But it looks like based off of what most of you have said that it's a "mature hairline" and may not be to serious. Of course whatever he does I will support regardless. I mean as long as I remember he has always had very thin hair and that type of hair line, but I just thought I should check at least, u know? But thank you anyways!

@gldngamer Pretty much what I just said above, yes I didn't realize how much of a big deal this could end up becoming and how it may impact ones life. I just really wanted to check before anything "drastic" may happen. But thank you for your input as well! means a lot that people like you would take the time to comment and help out!

I remember the good old days when i didnt even care about balding and all until my ex gf started making these horrible jokes imagining me bald and stuff and that really got me very insecure and paranoid, it was the first time i started thinking about my hair, i was like ****, if i go bald i wont get girls and the only reason im getting some is because of my cool hair... ... moral of the story, dont make your poor bf insecure like me, its good that you mentioned his recession and he's in the early stages to take care of it.. but obsession is unhealthy, dont make him obsessed like us.

[StayThick]

Don't know what made me LOL more, the fact his girlfriend posted this for him or if her telling him he is balding is not hurtful enough, having a forum filled with baldies join in the fun.. Not sure there.

As for him, I see what looks to be a "mature hairline" and very very slight thinning on the crown. Now I can't predict the future, but at 22 he seems fine hair wise. I couldn't tell he was thinning if I saw him in the street. Not sure if FIN (Propecia) would be the way to go here, but a doctor would be more suited to make such a call.

He's fine, stop telling him he's balding. Sheesh! Hurts from someone you care about...

Thank you so much for all this information! You've really been a big help!!
@Shan allright! thanks for the input as well
@StuckInARut it does because my brother started balding when he was 20 and didn't want to do anything about it cause he simply didn't care. Now he looks back at it and wishes he did something about it. They are both have similar personalities and they're the type of people who truly don't care at the moment, but will look back on it I don't want that on my conscious that I was there for him this whole time and didn't say anything. But by all means I love him for who he is and won't make him do anything, I just want to inform him
