Maturing hairline or receding?

[Oofmeister]

Hi.
Im 18 yrs old and im wondering if i have a maturing hairline or a receding hairline. My dad is the only bald brother (norwood 4-5) among 7 brothers, and his father had a full head of hair. My mother's side has no history of bald men either.

My hair is very thick and wavy ever since i was young. Am i experiencing a maturing hairline or a receding hairline? I know ive never had a straight hairline, especially from an aerial view, because the top of my head is spherical in shape. But what do you guys think? Thanks.

It looks pretty good and full to me.

Thanks for your reply. Is a circular/rounded hairline considered normal? Im afraid that i might have mpb because of my father (who went bald around his mid 20s to 30s).

Also, is it ok to start using minoxidil/finasteride/other hairloss meds to prevent future hairloss? Thanks!
