Hello
I'm 23, got a few questions to ask so joined the site.
First my backstory, I have temporal recession which to be honest started when I was about 16 and finished well what I thought was finished about 20, leaving it probably a Norwood 1.5/2 photos make it look way worse in my opinion so not sure if a 2 or 1.5.
Late last year, I began to find considerably more hair lying around lots and lots on my pillows and bunches coming out in the shower. I began to get nervous and this is when I really paid attention to the temporal recession. After a few weeks I came round to thinking this is what my hair had been like for years and it was a mature hairline. And that perhaps the increased loss of which lasted for about month was due to a stressful period during the summer.
However recently I've noticed that whilst perhaps my temporal recession is still in the same place, I've kept track because of scar I have on my forehead. My frontline of my hair seems to have decreased in density, all around the hairline to the temp points my hair seems thinner than it was before, my hair used to be incredibly thick an the barber would have to thin it out, which I made note that he didn't do it the last time I visited a couple of weeks ago.
Anyway so questions, I've heard some people say that your hair can become thinner without you getting recession, my Dad (who by the way is 59 and a norwood 1.5 himself) has quite thin hair despite his hair looking very thick in old photos. So could this be the case here or am I losing hair from my front?
Also if I'm already a NW2 would I expect it to get much worse?
Some photos (just after a haircut so there a couple of strays, the 3rd one is a real closeup of my temporal recession)
Thanks for any info.
