The guy on the left has a better looking head than the one on the right but I can’t figure out why exactly. Seems a bit shorter.

Is it better to have a tall forehead or a short one?

I read that the oil in your hair contains DHT and washing it everyday slows balding because you get rid of the oil (even though having dry brittle hair isn’t great) If that’s true does that mean growing your hair long means more oil in your hair hence more DHT hence keeping it short slows the...

Not the same day but this one was taken 1 day after the first one and it’s actually exposed to more light.

Crown looks really different depending on the lighting. Both of these are from a month ago The only difference is the second is getting hit directly by the sun. I can go from looking like I have a full thick head of hair to looking like I’m balding, depending on the conditions.

In other pictures it doesn’t look as bad. But it’s still concerning though.

Weird thing is I was looking at it in a mirror under a really bright light and I couldn’t see any scalp at all. f*****g selfies will be the death of me.

I wish lol. I mean it does kind of look like 1 in the pictures but I don’t think styling my hair up shows my true hairline. If I was pulling it up with my hands you’d probably see more of a V shape.

Was taking a picture of my hairline from the side and I see this on the side of my head This is literally the first time I’ve ever seen any scalp around there, how can this appear so suddenly? Is this some kind of trick of light? It looks like diffuse thinning over a massive area, WTF

Here’s my hair over a year since I started this thread What Norwood am I and how does it compare with my previous pics?

If you have very thick hair (diameter of hairs) does it make transplants more effective?

How do you get diagnosed with male pattern baldness? I saw a dermatologist once and she told me male pattern baldness was any thinning whatsoever that follows the temple/crown pattern. I thought to myself, what % of men go to old age with no thinning at all in those areas? She told me it was a mistake to assume male pattern baldness = going...

So then, a couple of people here saying my crown is ok and hairline not ok, and another couple saying my hairline is ok and crown not ok. Not really sure what to think. Here’s another crown picture, I’m sceptical about how some pictures seem to make it look ok and others make it look less ok.

I understand finasteride is better if you catch it early but do I really want to go through all the trouble and possible complications before I’m even sure what’s happening to my hair?

Added another picture of my crown that might be clearer
