21 years old...what to do?

[str8chillin]

So I've always had a huge forehead, ever since I was a kid. However, I have recently started to suspect that my hairline is receding. My hair covers my forehead (see pics), so no one can tell that I am balding. However, when I pull my hair back, it is clear that something is off...

I have attached many pictures. The names of the pictures tells you how old they are. As you can see, even six years ago, I had a large forehead. When I pull my hair back, it looks like I've been receding a lot, but it would have looked like that six years ago as well. So am I receding or is this simply a "mature hairline" with a big forehead?

Also, on a related note, how far can someone with my hair style have their hairline recede before it becomes obvious even when you don't pull the hair back?

Thanks for the help, everyone! Cheers!

I saw a guy on here recently with a hairstyle similar to yours. He pulled it off being a NW4.

Do you have any thinning or just some recession? It's very rare for a man to not have any recession. Ex president Ronald Reagan is one example and didn't have any visible recession. Some recession is nearly always a part of becoming an adult but it still bothers young men. If there is a lot of hair loss in your family, I suggest you keep an eye on your hair. Effective hair loss medications are available.

At one point I was a NW4 and pulled off long hair without many people realizing.. thanks to the help of Toppik and special styling methods.
