Thanks for the photo and based on it your balding area looks like a Norwood 6. Your hair loss will might go on. Important is to see your donor side because it will show us if you are eligible for hair transplantation or not. If you could share or send them we will be able to answer you in details....

What are you using for a preventative regimen? An organic shampoo as well as medications like Finasteride and Minoxidil can be very helpful in maintaining and keeping your existing hair.

At 30 years old, the pattern of hair loss that you presently have will be with you for life. If you are now losing hair, consider going on the drug finasteride which may stop the loss
