Hello. I'm 21 year old young man, my hairline has had an M shape since I was about 15 years old. I compared a picture from a year ago and hairline is the same. My dad has a full head of hair with no hairline receding at all. All my brothers are over 25 have slight temple recession. On my mothers side, her father lost his hair in his mid 40's when he had cancer sadly he died shortly after, and her brothers all have receding hairlines but not too far back. How bad is it? Will i go bold?
