Pleasure mate. We’ve all been there, we all have problems but I see young people suffering more these days than ever with paranoid thinking, OCD, anxiety etc.

You just have to remember and never forget that these forums will often make you feel worse. Not everyone intends to make you feel anxious but there is so much warped thinking on here that it can make you overthink a problem that doesn’t exist.

Read through some of the other posts and you’ll see there are as many non balding people on here as there are those who are actually loosing hair. I’ve seen countless posts of people claiming they are balding rapidly, yet years on their hair is exactly the same as the original post many years prior. And they always claim to be ‘diffuse thinners’ with no clear pattern of balding. Of course treatments like propecia will have helped those actually balding, but many are not balding and I feel sorry that they’ve had to waste thoughts and energy on a problem that is in the mind. A lot of my friends are diffuse thinners, and trust me, the pattern is normally evident quite fast. Especially when they start young.

You have a thick normal head of hair.

Over and out!!

I was going to go with my mates and say you're fine BUT, the second to last picture shows a sign of future temple recession and/or diffuse thinning, with risk of DUPA.

My right side looked exactly like that when it started. The zig zag line indicates fining. It shouldn't be like that. It should be a straight line. Natural hair patterns shows straight scalp lines. Diffuse thinning turns this line in zig zag lines or ramifications.
The zigzag patterns don't indicate thinning. Thinning indicates thinning. DUPA is incredibly rare and requires specific tools to detect. What you're seeing is uneven hair parting. You can only have even hair parting if you hold it up with a comb, or maybe the middle part, which is the only even natural parting without having to do anything. DUPA affects 2% of men in the world. And around point of diagnosis they'll have 50% miniaturization or more. It's easy to see if it's already there. "Risk" is different, and to say you can see DUPA before it presents itself is unusual. The data for DUPA has zero predictability involved. It has no markers on genetics, patterns (they call it unpatterned for a reason), and even the reason for miniaturization is not completely found and agreed upon.

Why does the left side of my hair looks so thin. I am genuinely worried i have never noticed before its been bugging me ever since i buzzed my hair and took notice of my hair taking hours from my days
please look at the video for a better understanding
what do u guys think? thank u for ur responses :)(

If im not balding whydoes it look so thin then?
Hello, I think your hair looks really healthy and great apart from right at the front. Those vellus hairs spell bad news my man for the future and don’t let anyone fool
you into thinking it’s a mature hairline. It might be caused by poor nutrition and a high BMI, androgens are produced through excess body fat and can cause higher amounts of hair thinning, so the right nutrition and biotin supplements might help

Not quite sure what you mean by this. ive tried to forget abt this after seeing this reply but its been bugging my mind ever since the entire weekend. Do u think my hairline now shows im balding? Everyone is telling me alot of things one moment i tell myself im not balding and its all in my head and the next in worrying like theres no tomorrow. Was feeling pretty good aabt my hair till i saw this statement but it isnt ur fault.Ive added some pics do u think i am?

Listen, your hair is fine and thick. The reason I said what I said mate is because some people have low hairlines from birth and others have high hairlines, you fall into the latter, no problem. But I’ve found the people with high hairlines recede before low hairlines, and if you’re on here you must have your suspicions. On second glance I think it’s too difficult to assess if you’re losing, but tbh you are at the perfect point to start taking finasteride or Dutasteride with virtually no hair loss. Go and schedule an appointment with a dermatologist and get a professional second opinion before jumping on the meds. Sorry if I ruined your weekend pal
