I have a very similar hair line to yours, some men have a mature hairline from birth. I started worrying about my hairline 2 years ago and took similar pictures, hasnt moved since as i always had it. Has your hairline always been like this? If it has you may find that you will have this same hairline into your early thirties before you start to see it recede any further. I wouldnt worry too much about it. If you do start to see changes then you can talk to a dermatologist, but for now i wouldnt worry man.

My hairline has been like this since 15-16 and my uncle has the same hairline but his hasn't moved for years and he's almost fourty

Baldness is X chromosome linked, so a better case study would be to ask your mother what her fathers hair was like, and his brothers. If your hairline has been like that naturally then i would not worry. Some people including myself were born with the natural mature-like hairline

I have almost an identical hairline to that (just a bit further up my head) and were basically the same age. If you do see a specialist, let me know!
