    Just got a haircut. Can't see derm until next year, so I'm panicking a bit. Where am I on the NW scale?

    I certainly see an "M" pattern. NW2, would be my guess.

    I don’t know. I’ve always had high temples. I found the below photos from 2015: (today on right) I just got it cut so it’s shorter/thinner on the sides.

    I just wish I had hairline photos from before I started obsessing over this.

    So, what is your point? You sent pics, you asked questions, we answered you, and now you are not happy then answer?

    Did a comparison of January of this year vs. today. Thoughts?

    Didn't have one of the other side, though (this is today):

    Looks like a mature hairline but keep a eye on it

    I saw a dermatologist a few weeks ago. She said I wasn't receding, but I'm still on the fence. Here's a recent look:

    If you saw a dermatologist in person and she said you weren't receding, then that should help calm your anxiety quite a bit - much more than anything any of us could say on here. If you want a second opinion, you could always have a "no strings attached" consultation with a top notch hair transplant surgeon and get their input. I am not saying you need a hair transplant, it's just that these surgeons deal with hair loss every single day and some can even do a miniaturization test to determine the state/health of your hair and see if there is indeed a thinning pattern going on.

    Based on the photos, I think your hair looks fine. I would tell you just to keep monitoring it, but it seems like you have somewhat of an obsessive personality (I can relate... believe me! :) ) so tread carefully with that or you'll just drive yourself crazy. I really think seeing someone who specializes in hair loss will really help ease your fears here.

    In the meantime, breathe. No matter what happens with your hair, you'll be fine. I promise. And if at some point you do experience significant hair loss, you can address it and look at different options on how to deal with it... All hope is not lost. :cool:
