Hi I'm 22 and I had a video recorded of me today and I was just wondering what my hairline is like and the triangle stood out to me for once.

HI, I'm 22 and since I was about 18 I've had that sort of triangle on the sides of my head, I've never really been too concerned about it but I was recorded at the gym today and it just stood out to me and I was wondering what it means, is this just a mature hairline? am I receding? and if so is there anything I should do about it, any advice would be good, My hair is still very thick all over, I'd love to prevent it from getting worse if it is. I think its Norwood 2?

Hi Matt, it does look like your temple corners have slightly receded. You should look into Finasteride which is the most proven thing out there to retain your hair. It does have the possibility to give you side effects which you'll need to research.
For now, I would style your hair differently, maybe a little messy look with your hair covering the temple corners.

Okay thank you, Is it possible that finasteride restores those bits or makes it slightly better? It might be worth nothing that the temples have been the same since I turned 19 and haven't changed really not sure if that means anything, thanks for ur advice.

There's a chance it may help miniturised hairs regrow but its main benefit is to prevent further loss. Minoxidil or Rogaine foam are a good growth stimulant for the hairline but once you use it, it's a life long commitment. If you regrow hair with any of them, it will be lost if you stop using them.
