Hi guys,
After lurking for a few months I’ve decided to join the forum! Hopefully you’ll be able to help me.
I’ve always had a high forehead, but as you can see, my hairline is receded, with a prominent ‘U’ shape. The hairline itself goes in further in certain places.
Now, I’m sure it looks really bad, but there are things that suggest I won’t go bald. Firstly, I have had this hairline since at least 12 years old. I don’t have any clear ‘before’ pictures, but they all show the same hairline and forehead. Secondly, the hair does not seem to be thinning on top. I do lose a LOT of hair in the shower, but my hair is about 6 inches long, which I’m sure is a big factor. I didn’t experience this earlier this year when my hair was short, but with the same hairline.
I have been tracking the hairline for about 6 months, and it has stayed the same in that time. Finally, NO male in my family is bald - dad has a full head, as do my brothers, granddads and uncles on both sides. However, my dad’s hairline is straight, with a big forehead.
So, what do you reckon? In England, we can’t see a dermo instantly. I’d have to see my normal doctor and get a referral, or see a hair loss specialst, who I’m afraid will propose a transplant straight away.
Thanks for all your help!
