I am 21 years old young man with receding hairline, will I go bald? (Photos)

Question

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?

I'd recommend for now switching to organic products for your shampoo and conditioner, research supplements like Biotin and Saw Palmetto and read about preventative medications like Finasteride and Minoxidil which has been proven to halt and even reverse hair loss. Before ever starting any medications it is best to always check with your physician.

You need to establish a relationship with a good hair restoration surgeon who will examine you, establish good baselines with a HAIRCHECK instrument and miniaturization studies and then build a Master Plan for now and your future to help you manage your hair loss
