I've had this same problem, and I think your situation could be similar to mine. The people on here that tell you "your hairline looks fine, don't worry" are probably people who consider a hairline thats ALREADY receded to be "not fine" If you were to ask my opinion, I would probably tell you your hairline looks like it's receding, but at the same time there are people whose hairline NATURALLY looks like it's receding when it truly isn't, and you could be one of those people. I guess the best way to tell in my opinion would be to comb your bangs straight down at every spot on the hairline, and if the hairs at the temple part of your scalp seem thinner than those at the front, your hairline is probably receding.

How old are you ?
As we grow older some folks hairline recedes a bit but your hair looks fine people here would kill for a hairline like that .
Now get off this board , go outside and enjoy life

Hey, thanks for the replies. I'm 21.
So, as far as you can tell, there's no recession on my hairline?
... and, one thing that I get a bit lost on. Apparently receding hair starts at the temples. Right? Well. Where the heck am I looking? When I think of my temples, I think of the softer part of my head just further behind my eyes... so I assumed the hair around there was where recession starts, but from what I've seen, men who have lost their hair tend to still have the hair around there? I dunno. :/

I don't think you're receding at all. Your hairline is low and it will sort of follow the curvature of your forehead.
What we refer to as the temples, and where recession typically begins, would be the area where the cuff of your shirt stops in those photos where you're holding your hair back. The 'sides of the top', basically. The area you are thinking of "behind the eyes"can also recede. We tend to refer to this area as the 'temple points'.
Recession doesn't follow the same pattern in all cases. For example the temples can recede and then the entire hairline can thin and begin to follow the temples back, or sometimes the temples recede and carry on receding quite far back with the central portion of the hairline remaining solid.
I don't think you have anything to worry about at this time. Forget about the things you think you see wrong with your hairline now. It's apparent that you've only just begun taking notice of your hairline, and I remember what it was like to not really know your own hairline that well despite seeing it every day. If you suddenly start examining yourself up close you'll start finding faults which aren't really faults. The important thing to look out for would be any changes.

Sweet, that's great news ; thanks for the reply. I think I just got a bit confused because I presumed that non-receding hairlines were perfectly straight and sloped down at the temple towards the temple points (if that makes sense?), and mine doesn't. So I'm guessing that that's not the case then?
