    Am I balding?



    18 (within months to 19).
    Want to know if hairline is receeding, or if those thinner hairs are me being paranoid, tried to include a lot of images if any are bad / want diff angles, tell me.

    With family history - brother is younger, father pictured here in his 50s


    on mothers side theres my Grandad who isnt fully bald but has quite a lot of hairloss and there isnt much left on the top (dont know his age tbh, 60s?). Uncle passed away and never really met him ( was in the past few years, so if its neccesary could try and find out what his hair was like)


    Basically, give it to me straight, am I losing hair and should I do anything or am I paranoid?

    yep thats NORWOOD 1 and you are balding but u shudn't worry its OK or more than OK

    i think u will see noticable hair loss in your mid 20's

    there are two medications as of now MINOXIDIL(topical) and FINASTERIDE (tablet)

    i dont think u need either of them.(but told u just for info)

    u r just panicking man and jugding by your father's condition of hair in his 50's i dont think u shud worry about being balding at all
    (sons follow their father's footsteps--- thats what i believe)

    enjoy your life boy and u shudn't be wasting time in this forum.

      Yeah but its not bad. I would ask your dad and grandfather if they have ever had to start medications or anything.

              Your halrline looks very solid.

              Your father also has a good hairline, especially for a man in his fifties.

              Don't think you're balding yet. Also, if one of your parents has
              good genes, you won't bald that agressively.

              Worst case, in your twenties, you will lose your hair, but very slowly.

              It definitely hasn't happened yet though. So I wouldn't be that worried
              if I were you.
