Stage 1 - This is a slight loss of hair at the temples. There is a natural transition from a "Juvenile" hairline to an "Adult" hairline. So don't mistake that transition as the beginning of you going bald. You might stay there the rest of your life. After all, male pattern baldness affects about 1 of every 2 males in the U.S. so it's possible you're that lucky second guy.
Stage 2 - This is more hair loss at the temples. Again, it might not be a sign of things to come (or go in this case).
Stage 3 - More loss at the temples but also a general moving back of the hairline. You might or might not feel a thinning at the back, or crown, of the head.

* A hair transplant might be an option to consider. If you are under the age of 25, your natural hair loss could still be progressing and you should wait to see if the hairline continues to thin and move back. If you are young and get a hair transplant, you will likely need to go back and have it done again to fill in the gaps. Talking to several hair transplant specialists is highly recommended.
