Am I Balding? An is it Severe

[Donovan1996]

I don’t wanna make a post but I need answers an I’ve been freaking out checking my hair daily 22 years old. As long as I can remember my hair has been like this an the past year or so I’ve been more self conscious about it for some reason an I have a slopped forehead that makes it look worse. My girlfriend says it’s not bad but women don’t really know what to look for on a balding guy lol an I need people that actually know what to look for opinions.. some photos are with my hair wet

There are no photos.

Try uploading the photos again so that we can see what your hair looks like.

Something must have happened you should see them now

Although it's hard to tell from the photos, your hairline resembles 'male patter baldness.'

Norwood 2?

It's hard to tell based on these photos alone, as this could be your natural hairline (or your hairline naturally maturing and settling slightly further back). It doesn't seem too alarming to me.

In order to really know what's going on, you would need some before pictures to compare. Moving forward, take new pictures in the same lighting/angles every 6 months or so... And if you're really concerned, set up an appointment with a hair transplant surgeon to have them test the miniaturization levels of your hair and see if that gives more of an indication of what's going on... Regardless, don't panic.

Hello, based on the photos it looks like you have a receding hair line which is the most common type of male pattern baldness. I wouldn't say it is too serious at the moment, unless it's receded in a very short period of time that is. For now I would just keep an eye on it (as well as your crown) over the next few years. All the best.

after looking at your pics again, I might agree you're Norwood 2. Hope not to scare you, but I was like that at age 17-18.
