    Question Am I starting MPB? Or is my hairline maturing? Looking for thoughts and help (21m)

    Hey all, I don't have a GP or doctor I can see nearby as I'm on a co-op out of state. So I figured I'd throw some pictures on here and get some input!

    I've noticed over the past year-ish, maybe longer, that my temples have definitely been thinning & receding a bit. After my haircut I got recently, I noticed that I can really see my scalp after I shower when my hair is wet. I got my hair cut a bit shorter than usual though, 4 on the sides and then probably a little below an inch on top, with a little over an inch at the front. (so this may be why) My crown also seems to be a little sparse, but again it could maybe be the haircut...

    My Dad does not have much hair loss at all, but a couple of my uncles do on that side of the family (2/3 of them) and my grandpa on that side was bald at probably around 60.
    On my Mom's side, no MPB in my uncle or grandpa. I've also been said to look more like my Mom's side of the fam.

    Here's some pictures:

    Am I showing signs of MPB? Or would this be considered a maturing hairline? Any input/thoughts is appreciated.

    Unfortunately it does look like MPB to me. You've got hairline recession and thinning beyond what is merely a mature hairline and some thinning at the midscalp. Possibly at the crown too.
