I’m 24 and recently went down a bit of a spiral thinking I was starting to bald. My hair’s always been pretty solid, but I started noticing the corners of my hairline looked higher than I remembered. I never used to think about this stuff, but now it’s been taking up way too much headspace.
I’m not shedding noticeably, my crown looks fine, and the overall density is still there — it’s just the corners that seem more defined than when I was younger. Looking back at old pics, it seems like it’s been changing gradually for a few years, not suddenly.
I guess I’m just wondering — has anyone else gone through this around mid-20s, panicked, and it ended up just being a mature hairline that held steady for years? Would honestly love some reassurance or just to hear similar stories. This whole thing has been messing with my head way more than I expected.

If hair is important to you, see a plastic surgeon. They will recommend prevention techniques, which should be done early. So don’t be lazy.
It ended up being nothing indeed.
