[Understanding Hair]

Hello @lulpaz , around your age the hormone levels in our body are changing, and one effect can be, and often is a change in our hair, can mean a slight change in the hair quality and for some the hairline slightly maturing. This maturing is not an indicator of male pattern hair loss. Of course, and especially if the MPB gene is genetically common in your family to start at an early age, a natural maturing hairline can coincide with male pattern. If not so much the case, it is much more likely to be changes to your hair as there are natural changes to your body around your age.

Hi! Thank you for your reply! So it doesn't seem like MPB? My maternal line they all still have hair yet my Dad started balding in his 40s if thats any useful context.

Hi @lulpaz , with your "hair genes", maternal and paternal it is much more likely to be changes in the hormone levels and the natural maturing of your hair at your age. Keep an eye on your hair over the next 6-12 months, and see if the shape changes, for instance if the temple angle becomes more acute, but if it slightly moves back but keeps the relative same shape it is natural. Try not to become obsessed with it, you have a good hairline, perfectly fine for your age.
