Do I have hair loss? Advice Needed

[hair204]

Hi guys, I am curious about my current hair status as well as what to expect in the future. I am 23.

Normally, I have always had thick and strong hair that always grew fast. In a normal setting (see the 3rd picture where there is no shampoo in my hair), I don't look balding at all, in fact much of my upper hair hangs on my forehead.

However, attaching 2 pics (shampoo visible in hair), with my hair gelled back, you can see that I don't have a "straight" hairline.

What do you guys think? I haven't done anything as of yet.

Parents: Father's side has no bald people (they have the same hair as me even in 50+). Mother has a bald brother and some bald people, but at least 50% have good hair. I heard of the mother's side rule. Physically I have most of my mother's traits so I am a bit scared.

Also, what am I right now? NW0? NW1? NW1.5? From what I noticed, I only seem to have a non-straight hairline when I tilt my head down or view it from above.

Please advice.

I am having trouble seeing any hair loss. The resolution on those pics makes it hard to tell...at least for me.

Same. It is really only visible when I gel my hair + pull it back + look at it from above my head. Can't be too sure either way. Gonna ask my barber next haircut too.

The best thing to do is to take the clearest pictures you can from different angles and good lighting. Retake pictures in a few months from the same angles and lighting, then compare the pictures. Repeat in a few months if you are still unsure.

Thanks, I will do that (time tracking) for sure. In general though my hear always appears as it did in pic 3 (in pics others take of me). I part my hair 3/4 at the left side (appears right on pic) and extra hair always hangs on the side which makes it look asymmetrical and not really a sign of hairloss. I have a broad but sloped forehead.
