18 Y/o - Is This The Start Of Diffuse Thinning?

myhairisthin · Oct 29, 2016

like the title says, im 18 years old and going to be 19 in a couple months. My hair has become increasingly thin in the past year and it's really freaked me out. I'm okay with balding but not so young, I'd like to keep my hair at least throughout my 20's. I've been doing alot of research and I don't think this is male pattern baldness but it resembles diffuse balding alot, as the crown of my head is much thinner than the rest. Please give me advice on whether or not this is just paranoia or actual thinning. Thank you.

Doesn't look like hair loss to me bro. The crown always appears thinner than the rest of the head. Putting it under that light, while wet? Yeah you're going to see some scalp and get paranoid.

Unless you took some pictures with the same lighting and angle a year ago and notice a big difference, there's no reason to worry. The density of your hair is normal.
