Can I do anything now to stop temple recession before it starts?

[DontKnowWhatToDo]

My advice to you is to buy a year's supply of Kirkland 5% Minoxidil from amazon.com, since it's so inexpensive. Even if you don't end up using it, it's worth it having that peace of mind knowing that the minute your hairline gets beyond where you're comfortable with it receding, you can start with topical treatment. I myself just turned 28, am a Norwood 2, and have been on this treatment for 2 months today. Knowing how you respond to Minoxidil is the first step.

Since you're either a Norwood 1 or 2, and you have reason to believe there will be no thinning or bald spot on the crown, do not start Propecia, but do start researching the benefits/drawbacks of Propecia so you can make an informed decision if in fact you do experience non-temple hair loss. Similarly, you can start researching hair transplant techniques and surgeons in case you decide to go down that road in the future, but given your age and progression, a hair transplant is out of the question for you at the moment.
