Hi, thank you for sharing your photos and being proactive about your hair health. I know noticing changes in your hairline can feel stressful, especially when you’re wondering if it’s the beginning of something permanent. From what I can see, there does appear to be some early recession along the hairline, particularly at the temples. This pattern is very common and often consistent with early androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss). In many cases, it starts subtly and progresses gradually over time. The important thing to understand is that early intervention tends to give the best results. Hair loss treatments work much better at maintaining and thickening existing hair than trying to regrow areas that have been completely dormant for years. Treatment options commonly include: Finasteride to reduce DHT (the hormone responsible for hair follicle miniaturization) Topical or oral minoxidil to stimulate and prolong the growth phase of hair In some cases, adjunct treatments like microneedling or low-level laser therapy If you’re noticing increased shedding, thinning, or progressive recession compared to older photos, it may be reasonable to consider treatment now rather than waiting. At the same time, some degree of hairline maturation can occur in the 20s without it progressing to significant baldness. Monitoring changes over 6–12 months with consistent photos in the same lighting can also be helpful.
