My hairline

I just realised that my hairline change slightly I’m 18 and I don’t know what to do and don’t know what it means, please help

It's perfectly normal for your hairline to change slightly as you get older and it doesn't necessarily mean you're suffering from MPB. You're still quite young and appear to have a tremendous head of hair, so take a deep breathe and don't overanalyze this. Feel free to monitor your hair over the next couple of years, but be very careful that you don't let it become an obsession and take over your life. I know from experience (and from frequenting this forum) how easy it is to get sucked into that headspace.

I think you hair is perfectly normal; no signs of MPB. The best thing you can do is monitor it, and just don't stress :)

On another note, I wanted to ask pkipling: What norwood am I? I am unsure if i am suffering from a receding hairline, Ive been monitoring my hairline for about 6-7 years and haven't noticed any further hairless or recession-- I recently cut off my dreadlocks that I had for 3 years. Since 9th grade in HS I've noticed that my hairline was not as straight as others in fact i had a v shape hairline with a prominent widows peak. 6 years later after cutting my hair completely off, my hairline still remains in the V shape pattern. I don't have any diffusion, my hair is thick overall, Its just the frontal hairline that really bothers me. When my hair is fully grown its unnoticeable, but now that I cut all my hair off the v shape is really noticeable. Thank You.

It's hard to tell with your hair cut so short (and the lighting isn't great), but your hairline looks to be completely in tact. I don't see anything worth worrying about at all based on that photo.
