Good At Disguising (18 years old)

[Matt8998]

So my question is am I good at disguising my receding hairline? Pull it back, and wow! I look like I have surpassed a mature hairline. Wear it normal, like I do day to day and nobody would ever guess... Any thoughts? For some reason I don't think pulling back somewhat long hair gives an accurate representation of what's left of the hairline, but I'm no expert.

Anyone?

[Matt8998]

Any help?

You have no hair loss, just a mature hairline. It is totally unusual and unnatural for a hairline to be totally straight with no imperfections, so stop obsessing about it and enjoy your life!

Your hair look very fine and thin in the front, that give you a thinning look. you probably got 2-3 years of good hair left.

[Matt8998]

It's been about the same since I grew it out when I was 16. Depending on how it's styled changes a lot.

You also have to keep in mind this was taken in direct flash and I do style my hair somewhat up and to the side allowing a lot of light to pass through.

[Matt8998]

Does anyone else have any opinions?

What about your parents? are your dad or mom thin or balding?

[Matt8998]

Dad is thinning but didn't start until his 40s. Always had wicked thick hair. Mom is just fine, no signs of thinning and is 50.

Dude... I started losing my hair (noticeably) at age 17 in my senior year of high sch

P.S. The reason I'm giving my phone # out is because I suck at typing. (I'm lucky if I can type 10-15 words/min.)

You don't need to do anything but monitor it for now. The hairline may recede a couple of centimeters. Have you measured the distance between your hairline and eyebrows?

[Matt8998]

No...what should I look for if I measure? And what does it tell me?

[Matt8998]

Does anyone else know what to look for when measuring????
