    Unhappy 16 year old - Am i balding or just a silly hairline? (PICS)

    So basically my hairline is really odd and im near 100% certain it's receeding
    It has like a NW2 look
    I noticed this near the end of 2015 as i would dye my hair quite frequently.
    I have since stopped dying my hair and my natural colour is coming out. My roots are a very very light blonde so it's sort of hard to see where my hair line starts because my roots and scalp blend in haha.
    Anyway, i have a big forehead which i'm really anxious about but my dad has a big forehead too however he still has a full head of hair (he's 49). Im 17 in january.

    Please bare in mind the left side of my head is shaved at a 2 so it may make one so look lesser than the other

    I wouldn't speculate if you're losing hair or not. I would instead begin treatment in an effort to keep what you do have, which is a very nice head of hair IMO. Go to your doctor asap and ask to be put on a prescription of finesteride, and start using minoxidil.

    Your hairline is slightly receding on the side but I wouldn't wait any longer.

    I'd suggest a combo of what both of these guys said.

    If you're pretty sure (well you know you) and I'd go with your gut.

    For now I'd just recommend a healthy lifestyle because you're still growing, but if it's begins progressing rapidly in the next year or 2 then begin taking propecia/ finistaride. And in a few more years, I'd suggest looking into getting your first FUE procedure.

    Until then.. Enjoy life!!!!

    Seems like you have a thinning issue but it is likely not do to genetics. It is VERY rare to start balding this young.
    How is your diet? Stress levels? Have you been to a doctor for it?

    I don't see any problems for now. Does any of your parents/sibling have issues with hair loss? Are you generally stressed? What does your diet look like? What kind of shampoo are you using/How many time per week are you using it?

    Here's a few tips for you:

    - Change your diet: Ditch alcohol, sugar, coffee, fast food.
    - Take supplements: Try to find a vitamin supplement that includes biotin.
    - Change your shampoo: I would recommend Pura D'or Organic Shampoo. You can't expect miracles from it, but it's the best one (in my opinion)
    - Massage: Try massaging your head for a couple of minutes every day. It helps blood circulation
    - DO NOT: Try Finasteride, Rogaine for now. At your age, it'll do more bad than good.

    Take pictures every 3-4 months. If you see that the problem is getting out of hands, take an appointment with a dermatologist and maybe, MAYBE try rogaine and or Fin.
