How bad off am I? (Hairline pictures)

[Artista]

Hello again Haveigotmpb.

So how are you doing today? Let us all know.
There is a percentage of people here, just like me, that TRULY try to help others.
Cheers again.....

He can't because there is no such thing as a maturing hairline, it's just receding. He says that all the time like many others here because the truth is most people here are clueless. Like someone else said before it can as well stop for a good while or just keep receding at any given pace. You can't predict it but eating well, taking supplements and avoid sleep deprivation will all help slowing the process. The healthier you are so is your hair.

You have a strong point here! I've noticed a strong pattern in those that are healthy with a healthy head of hair. I see those that are unhealthy, with a badly receded hairline..

I think health does play a strong correlation within hairloss. Obviously genetics being the biggest culprit but health is definitely one of them!

When I go to the gym, the religious attenders who seem to be very healthy and in shape all seem to have solid hairlines! Then there's this group of people I know that are heavily involved in taking drugs.. and their hairlines are ****ed!

My hairline currently, is quite asymmetrical. It seems very solid on one side and the other has receded a bit for my age. One side gives the impression that my hair has a widows peak shape and the other creates a U shape? The side that has the V is at least an NW2 where as the other is an NW1? Is this common

Also, I went through a stage during late last year where my health was abysmal! I was eating next to nothing with minimal sleep and taking drugs on a daily basis. It will come as no surprise that it was around this time that I first noticed my hairline was receding!

Yes almost everybody as one side worse than the other. Also it was implied in my previous comment but just to be sure, if you smoke, stop ASAP. And don't rely on clean eating for your nutrient food nowadays contain less and less nutrient as nobody cares about that and yield is king. Make sure to get good supplements like I said earlier.

I take one multivitamin caplet a day but it's a large capblet that supposedly contains all the minerals and vitamins my body needs.
Would you recommend taking protein?

One last thing, looking at my current hairline in the picture I provided.. Is it badly recessed for my age? I can't decide whether or not to consider taking finasteride

And thank you for the advice pal, I really appreciate it. It's nice to see someone on these forums being helpful rather than encouraging states of denial.

Protein requirements will vary, if you do a lot of bodybuilding you can go as high as 25% of you daily calories, if not you can go as low a 15% but not lower. Too much protein will only end up being converted in glucose and ammonia it won't help your hair. If you don't need that glucose it will end up being converted to fat. Don't skim on the fat intake and limit carbs to 20-30%.

Your hair is not that bad for now and you might be lucky and it will stay like this for a while. I see 16 years old GIRLS with deeper gulfs than that. Yeah I know that's surprising...

your story is interesting

[sandyrobot]

I am swapnil did my hair transplant surgery in active roots clinic. I consulted many clinics but did not get the satisfactory consultation. When I visit Active roots doctors consulted me. At the end I decided to go hair transplant surgery. The technology they used is really very advanced and hair transplanted looks natural And after six months result was satisfaction. I recommend active roots to my family n all.

A receding hairline is also known as maturing hairline if that hairline does not turn into hair loss .
Keep that in mind

What complete, and utter BULLSHIT! So if it's not "hair loss" where does the hair go? Of course a receding hairline is hair loss.

Hello BaldBearded.
First of all, you should never use bad words here.
Your first response:
"What complete, and utter B******T!"

There IS a percentage of people that does only have a maturing hairline.
Of course, when someone has a matured hairline there is some hairloss but not
seriously bald!
That is why it is called a maturing hairline!
Again BaldBearded, never use foul language or attack anybody here.
Consider this.

Hello to everybody!

I see the point you are trying to make. In my opinion the mature hairline is a phenomenon and term used to describe recession that occurs during the end of puberty. Yes it is hairloss.. however it is a form of NATURAL RECESSION and a process that almost every young male will go through hence the term 'natural recession'. I think it would be unnatural to skip this phase hence why the very small minority of older people with NW0/NW1 hairlines look out of place. Whether you continue to recede or not after this process is down to your genetics. If the hairloss continues, well then it's Balding.. If not, it's a maturing hairline. Before I get attacked by the anti-maturing hairline society. Yes a maturing hairline is recession and yes it is MPB. But it doesn't necessarily mean you are going to be bald! The process is a scary one but not something to be stressed about unless you are inact balding! The miniature MPB phase may attack your temples and then never return until the day you die.. Who knows? Only the future and your genetics can tell that.

On a serious note though.. The term mature hairline does get thrown around far too much on this site to shield the reality of hair loss! If you're going to use this term then at least have the knowledge and depth of understanding to explain it.

This term as no place even in this context because actually a lot of people never get a maturing hairline, my best friend is 39 and has a better hairline than mine at 17. Furthermore like you said this term just become a meaningless term because it's inaccurate. The result is a bunch of generic reply like Artista always gives.

Hello to everybody!

Gee, sorry snowflake, bad language, AND you feel attacked!

But you are playing with semantics. So, you tell a person who is losing their hair that they are NOT losing their hair, but they are, but you just can't say the word BALD!!! Or seriously bald.

It's just plain.... silly.

[Artista]

Hello again BaldBearded.

In reading your recent post here:

"...you tell a person who is losing their hair that they are NOT losing their hair,"

I have NEVER said that BaldBearded.
I would let others know that it is POSSIBLE that it could only be a maturing hairline BUT no one can really know at that point in time.

Your other words:

"..but you just can't say the word BALD!!! Or seriously bald"

I DO mention to others that they could possibly start balding BUT I let people know that nobody show allow themselves to become worry or stressed out over that possibility.
Again BaldBearded, what you said was JUST an assumption about my words.
I am not at all angry at you about that.
I am trying to let you know that what you said about me was wrong, so consider that.

Have a good day BaldBearded and everybody else.
CHEERS.
