Mature hairline or just balding ?

[Miscer990]

I’ve always thinning hair and receding since I can remember but lately i feel it’s been getting more obvious also my hairline seems uneven which I heard of another sign of balding. My hairline seems to be fine but when I pull back my temples go back almost to my ears which is very concerning. Would I classify as Norwood 2 ?

You look like you have minor recession and could be classed as a NW2. Do you have any photos from before that would show the change?

It does look like what we often call a 'mature hairline', which is basically a small amount of frontal recession that occurs in early adulthood. The question is whether it progresses and unfortunately only time will tell.
