    Default Widow's peak and receding hairline... Should I start propecia?

    I'm 20 going on 21. I've noticed recently that my hairline has a more accentuated widow's peak shape and my barber noticed it too. Based on the attached pictures, is it receding? Should I get a prescription for propecia?

    Minor recession at that age is the rule rather than exception. Your hairline is just slightly more more angular than a boy's or a woman's, but it's not even an obvious M-shape. I wouldn't take propecia at this point.

    It would be better of we could see a picture from the side, as the pictures make it hard to see the edges of the hairline, but really that doesn't look like anything. Definitely not propecia yet (don't wait too long if it is MPB, but this is a bit too early), I'd just say make some lifestyle changes like sleep-time and foods that limit DHT like green tea, pumpkin seeds, pumplin/coconut oil on scalp, massage scalp, mutton/chicken liver, etc. (check on net for more). At worst, perhaps start some keto/nizoral shampoo.

    That looks like my old hairline:

    My hailine recession started around 25 or 26.
