There is no "normal" hairline.  Everyone has a unique hairline and some even have cowlicks.  If you feel you are losing hair, see a doctor for an examination.

If your doctor says you have dandruff and recommends a treatment you may want to follow your doctor's recommendation.If you do not believe in your doctor, it is best to see another doctor in person.  The photo is not very clear.

Thanks for the question. Based on your photos, the 4000-6000 grafts might be good option for you, but it would be wrong to say something for sure. You should see a board certified surgeon. You can then plan the process together and discuss the results. I wish you all the best.

Dear Hairtranspnat  Thanks for posting your question on realself.com. İts common to see  post-op shedding at the first two Months. So if you see the transplanted hair shed in the 5th month you should visit your doctor.

If you always had a high forehead, then it would not be considered a receding hairline.  If you want to address the high forehead you may want to see a doctor for possible surgical options,

It may take six to twelve months to appreciate the results of a hair transplant surgery.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.
