Is my hairline receding or maturing? (Photo)

Question

I haven't paid attention to my hairline until a friend started getting worried about his. I've always had a Widow's Peak and I don't have any clumps of hair falling out or bald spots. I honestly don't know what my Hairline has always looked like. I went on Reddit and was told it's Receding but it's normal to recede at a bit at my age(Im 21) and others said it's not possible to tell with 1 picture. My mother has a very similar Hairline but the uneven side is on the other side.

Photos cannot diagnosis your hair loss. The old fashion way of seeing a doctor in person for an examination is still the best method.

Difficult to tell without seeing earlier photos of you and your hairline to compare from years ago. I'd recommend switching to organic products for your shampoo and conditioner, and to look in to preventative medications like Finasteride and Minoxidil which has been proven to halt and even reverse hair loss. PRP would also be an option for you. Before starting any medications it is best to check with your physician.

Thank you for asking this question.
It is very difficult to comment anything without seeing picture of before to compare the current progression. However, you are an ideal candidate for temple correction, only if you are unhappy with the current position. You would require anywhere between 500 to 700 grafts depending on the intended hairline. You can opt either of the 2 basic technique, viz, FUT or FUE method. Please know that FUE method requires to trim down the entire scalp to zero level. Whereas FUT doesn’t require full shave. The end result of both of the procedure is absolutely same. The only difference in either of the techniques is the way hair is been harvested. If you are happen to decide to get FUE done, you can either for manual FUE method or ROBOTIC FUE which is a newer FUE method and slightly give better result with little more yield in extraction.
  
Good luck!

For a mature hairline, it will be located one finger breadth above the highest crease of the furrowed brow. I suspect that is what you have
