Than you for your query. You do have some recession of the hairline on the sides which is not unusual. The gene for hair loss, incidentally, comes from the mother!  At this stage it may be best to start applying  minoxidil 5% or more and also taking vitamin biotin. There are also laser “helmets” available that stimulate  hair growth, to be used a couple of times a week. I also use some PRP injections  with antioxidants to prevent further hair loss. Please find an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

It's common for hairlines to evolve during adolescence, and a certain degree of temporal recession is a normal part of maturing. However, if you're concerned about significant hair loss, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a dermatologist specializing in hair issues.

Factors like genetics, hormonal changes, and family history can contribute to hair loss. To address your concerns and determine the best course of action, a professional assessment is crucial. They may suggest lifestyle changes, topical treatments, or other interventions based on your specific situation.

In the meantime, maintain a healthy lifestyle, manage stress, and use gentle hair care practices. Early intervention, if needed, can make a significant difference in addressing hair-related concern,
