21 years old, Am i going bald?

[alex2018]

I'm curious as to whether i am balding or not, my dad is completely bald and started going around 20 years old. My maternal grandfather has a full head of hair at 88. i have my mothers hair in colour and thickness. Started to notice a small indentation in my right temple around two years ago which has only got gradually larger but not developing into a widows peak. The left temple only has some indentation but its certainly larger on the right. My hairline has definitely changed, recently however if noticed the hairs on the right temple where my fringe is is becoming slightly thinner in that i can see my scalp. on the right hand side there is a section of shorter hairs along the front of the hairline which continues for about 1 cm backwards to longer hairs further back which are consistent with the middle of my hairline. See picture attached. i am unsure if i am balding or not and any comments would be helpful. Thanks.

I don't believe so. Excess hair in the drain? Pillow, brush? Pics from a year or two ago to compare?

hairline from last year follows the same shape, however the shorter fine hairs in the bottom right corner of my hairline by the temple arent consistent with the hair in the middle front of my hairline, and i have just noticed it. Otherwise a few hairs on my pillow, i don't notice hair going down the drain in large volumes, maybe a few here and there. Main hair loss i notice is when i gel my hair, i would estimate around 3-8 hairs collect on my hands every time i gel it after washing.

Possibly your hairline is maturing, this is a kind of MPB, but it may stop. Really hard to tell. The thing is to keep an eye on it.
