16 Receding hairline already? (Pics Included)

[chrlhyms]

Hi, My hairline has been an odd shape for a long period of time where one side has lost the "baby hairs" at the front whereas the other side seems relatively normal, i was wondering if this is an early sign of a receding hairline or if it was just a mature hairline forming.

I had noticed this for a few months and the hairline hasn't changed from what i have observed.

Hate to say but yes it looks like it is starting to happen.However by talking to your doctor about it Im sure he/she can recommend some things to help like minoxidil.But do check with your doctor first.

Oh seriously? I will have to go at some point then, i was hoping that it would just be maturing haha

It could be that too or even something from combing your back and tying it.But it looks to me like the early signs one way or another.I reckon it is best to be assessed by a doctor at this point.There are many factors to be considered as to what could be causing this.Anyway,I am new here not as seasoned as many of the others here and I think that is where to start.Just an opinion too.

Go to a dermatologist that specializes in hair loss. At this point and being this young the sooner you act the better. Usually if you start experiencing MPB this early in your life and do nothing, you more than likely will be a high norwood case by your mid to late 20's if not before. If keeping your hair is important to you, you must remain vigilant. Educate yourself here and elsewhere. You could start Minoxidil, but take note it is a temporary bandaid in most cases and only usually works for the crown. You will eventually need to at least consider Finasteride as a long term solution, but at 16 you'll probably have to wait. I will leave you with this, its much easier to try and save as much native hair you have now as opposed to attempting to surgically move it around later. That is of course untill or unless there is ever a real cure. Don't wait for it!
