Does my hairline look like it’s receding?

I’m 21 female and the first photo was taken 2 years ago. For background- my dad is going bald but that only started for him when he was in his 40s.

I’ve always had fine hair but the last couple of years I’ve been paranoid about my hair thinning.

My hairline has had baby hairs for a while. Not sure if they look worse or I’m overthinking. The second photo was taken today.

i can't actually see any receding hairline, i would honestly say its a mix of the lighting, greasy hair, paranoia and quite honestly stress, stop worrying about it

literally not at all. it's like the exact same photo, tbh.
i have a fair few baby hairs and my sister once told me i was going bald. nearly cried, then looked in the mirror reasonably- (she was just being mean, turns out)
i think everyone has baby hairs

nonchalant-

Hair looks thinner when oily

Haha thanks, I would like to clarify my hair is wet in both photos. I thought it being wet would show up the hair better.

Nope, that looks fine to be honest. Remember hair goes through stages anyway and it really does look fine, NOT receding at all. And by way, if ever you actually do really have thinning hair then minoxidil taken by tablet for blood pressure apparently is much better than topical minoxidil. Anyway you dont need anything, just to calm down lol.
