    Default Am I Going Bald? (I'm sure you get this here all the time, but please read!!)

    Hey guys, so I'm trying to figure out whether I'm going bald or not. I'm 20 years old, and I have pretty thick hair, but I tend to be a hypochondriac and lately I've been fingering my part and trying to figure out if it's always looked like this, and if it looks normal and etc.

    Can I have some help from the experts?

    The following four pictures were taken this morning with my computer, before I showered or got out of bed. My hair is a little frazzled which might be responsible for odd partings.






    From the front: (this picture was taken a couple of nights from a skype conversation. I don't THINK i see any signs of receding)


    Signs on my side:
    . My father has a full head of hair
    . My mother's hair is very, very thick
    . MY hair is extremely thick. Almost every time I get my hair cut (many times by a new barber), they each randomly comment on how thick my hair is, and on how much hair I have. The barber I've had longest said she doesn't think I'm going to go bald, but that was about a year ago.
    . I have a Widow's Peak (I read somewhere this is a good sign? I don't know, it sounds fishy to me)

    Signs against me:
    . My mother's grandfather AND brother are bald (but they don't have a widow's peak, which my mother does. I hope this suggests that I have my mother's thick hair, rather than theirs. Apparently both of them started going bald even before 20).
    . My father's father is bald

    Am I just worrying myself sick? Does my part look normal?

    That being said, if I AM going bald, what tests can I do to make sure? And what steps can I make to prevent losing as much hair as possible?

    Thank you for putting time into your responses!
