You guys probably get this a lot but I just need piece of mind.

[vurog]

So i'll start from the beginning, I had been growing my hair for about 5 years when In December I had to go get my wisdom teeth removed, after the surgery I noticed my natural parting get bigger, I got abit paranoid and just shaved my head..

A month after shaving my head the part where i thought I was thinning seemed perfectly good, however I never paid attention to my temples as I always had long hair and I would part it into sides, I have a fairly big forehead and my mother says that I have always had this kind of hairline.

Maybe the hairline just looks like this because I just recently shaved my head so there's not enough hair to cover up or something but i'll just post pictures here and hope for some help.

These pics are around after 2 and a half weeks of shaving my head, and also my dad has a VERY similar hairline.

It's going to be hard for people to get much from this. Some people on here are very well informed though.

My opinion? For what it's worth... if you've always had this hairline, there's nothing to worry about. I'd monitor it for the next 3-6 months see if anything changes. If not, it's probably the way your hairline has always been.

Hows your crown? How old are you?

You probably have TE dude, nothing to stress too much about. It is a common occurance after removing wisdom teeth and is triggered by the general anesthesia. It will resolve on it's own.

I just turned 20 earlier this month, yeah but what really really bothers me is that I'm not sure since when I've had this hairline, My mom has only seen me through skype as we live very far apart from each other I just regret neglecting the fact that someday I might go bald since it does run in my mothers family. As far as my crown is concerned its good. I have a double crown and a cowlick which annoys me but I know that its okay.

[vurog]

Can TE actually affect your hairline? I thought it was mostly just bald patches around the scalp and/or thinning at the crown. But then again im not very educated in this field.

[Ohthehair]

TE is usually diffuse rather than hairline receding. That being said your hairline doesn't look like its receeded. Maybe "matured" at worst. Have you noticed it change?

Noticing hair falling out can throw people off. It's normal to lose hair. Up to 150+ a day. The more you look for it the more you'll see.

Plus it's not what falls out that matters it's what grows back in its place.

I freaked out about my hair this year but the more I check the more I see thick black hairs growin back as normal.

Yeah i understand, I see some regrowth on my right temple and very small hair on my left temple what im really bummed about right now is if this is miniaturized hair or if its hair growing back.

As I mentioned before I never looked at my hairline I had below shoulder length hair for a very long time and I'd wear it split from the middle

When i did have long hair however I would obviously notice hair falling out but I don't think it increased or decreased since I was like 15, always stayed at the same rate and as you mentioned we shed around 100 hairs a day its nothing to be alarmed about

try not to panic about seeing little hairs around the hairline. They are often just new hairs. They are exposed at the hairline but they're really all over your head as new hair is growing. Monitor it, if it seems to get worse any go see someone to make sure it's MPB or something else. Everyone's hairline is different. Your's doesn't necessarily look receded much if at all. Unless you used to have a straight line for a hairline.... again it's hard for many of us to know what out hairlines USED to look like.

I never had a straight hairline, my younger brother has the same he's 17 atm, same goes for my dad. So yeah this defo gives me some closure I just felt abit paranoid and it had been eating me away for the past month that I just needed to post here.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Not a problem. I feel the same way a lot of the time. Monitor it every now and again but don't stress. (I should take my own advice!)

Your hairline looks pretty dense to me, and since you're not really sure how it was before you shaved your head, that's all you have to go on at the moment.

Personally, I wouldn't stress at all. Your hair seems to be in great shape, the hairline is dense and in tact, and you're still quite young. Now that you're aware of how your hairline is, I would simply monitor it every few months or so. The best thing you can do (and the hardest thing) is to just not obsess over it in the meantime. And if you do start losing your hair one day, know that there are quite a few viable treatments/options to help you out.

Hey, thanks for the input

So I shouldn't be alarmed about the miniaturized hair? Also I woke up today and saw a few more miniaturized hair around the front of my hairline could this just be hair growing back or something else?

EDIT: I figured I might as well post some close ups of my scalp from what it looks like to me is that my left temple is slightly thinner than my right temple but I can't be certain because my hair is still super short.

if they're the same or around the same diameter as your normal hair, hairs around the hairline are just growing hairs. They are exposed because they are at your hairline and have no other hairs to hide them. They're all over your head.

[vurog]

Oh, are they? Also is it normal for my left temple to seem thinner than my right one? its not super noticeable unless I go up close to the mirror I doubt anyone else but me notices.

was hoping some of you could look at my crown to see weather or not theres anything going on here

If I actually am balding what would be my first step to start fighting the fight.
