Is my hairline receding? Please all comments welcome

[duggy]

Hello, over the past year I have been concerned over whether I'm going bald. My crown follows a tight line (no circling), but I'm also concerned about my hairline. Attached are some pictures. I've always had a big forehead. Many thanks in advance.

What is your age and family history of hair loss?

Some degree of recession happens to nearly every man. Your hair looks fine IMO. The thing you need to be concerned about is thinning or hair miniaturization. I don't see any in the photos. You should find a local hair restoration doctor that uses the HairCheck system. They take photos and keep your hair mass index numbers on file. Down the road if it appears you are losing more hair, you do the HairCheck again. If there's any significant difference, consider using Propecia and Rogaine.

I'm 23 years old. My Father started going bald in his mid thirties. I also suffer from Bulimia and wondered if this was having any effect on my hairline? Thanks

I see some recession, especially in that last pic. I am not an expert on bulimia, but I would say it can have an affect on your hair. Your body is being put through a lot of stress, and you are not getting nutrients that you need from food.

Just been reading a lot of the link between hair thinning/loss and Bulimia, it is pretty common for hair to thin on the hairline and temples. Hoping that if I can but a stop to it then I will see a dramatic change over a few months. I naturally have/had thick hair from my Mums (my dad had thin, blond hair) and also going grey (like my Mum did around my age). Just hoping that the recession is largely down to my lack of nutrients and that by eating properly it will revert.

More comments are very welcome, as I value anyones input.

Many thanks.

Bulimia can definitely cause hair loss. The body is lacking in nutrients and the hair often gets dry and brittle and can even fall out. Your hair looks fine in the pictures you put online, but if it's thinner than it was previously, Bulimia could most definitely be the culprit. I agree with 35yearsafter, see a hair restoration Dr. who uses haircheck. That way you will be able to follow your hair loss over time. Good luck to you.
