Harsh lightining shows the truth. People say It makes It look worse, but It just shows the real state of your hair. If you have a thick head of hair no light Will show scalp except If you have naturally fine hair.

I have a bathroom with extreme light in my house. Whenever I wanna a reality check I go there and almost have tears in my eyes.

You should count number of hair per cm2. To do this you need a buzzcut and 1cmx1xm paper cut into square to form 1cm^2 and put it on your head where you believe you are thinning. Also you should check the thickness of the hairs you shed throughout the day. If it tapers toward root too much, (lighter and thinner) you have an ongoing thinning brother.

Take a white paper; measure 1 cm x 1cm square = 1cm^2 then cut this square. Now you will have a paper with an empty square spot that is 1cm^2. Place it on top of your hair and have somebody take a photo from top that way you will see and be able to count how many hairs you have per 1cm^2. Ideal number is 70-100 per 1 cm^2.
