These are just some pictures I could find all within the last year of my hair. I realize that the lighting in all of these isn’t near the same as my most recent pictures. I feel like it would have been Impossible to see my scalp like I can today

Is this normal
Another way to tell is just feel your hairs back of head and then feel the hair on area you concerns. If hairs feel like lifeless too soft then definitely thinning is there.another way is to pluck hairs from donor area and area you concern ,with magnifying glass see the color texture and thickness .if there is thin hair from front then you are balding.

One single thin hair doesn't mean you're balding. It could be in the catagen or telogen phase. If you go on YouTube and watch scalp exfoliations of men who are not balding and women too they also have a mixture of thin and thick hairs all over the scalp. These thin hairs also exist in the donor area. You're only balding if hair in a certain area has more than 20-30% thin hairs. Don't put stress on this guy for no reason. By pulling hair from his scalp, he's more likely to get a hair in the catagen or telogen phase because they're ready to come out while a hair in the anagen phase is thick and healthy and the dermal Papilla is very strong, be careful before you give this guy trichotillomania. For a 'hair loss enthusiast' (you put it this way, not me) you really don't know much about hair.

Actually if guy would get more hair from front that is Sign of alopecia because more hairs are in talogen phase,also feeling hair with fingers can give nice indications.I am hairloss sufferer and I know the pain of it exert on men.I would never misguide anyone.I am sincere and up to date about hairloss causes

What I meant was if he tries to pluck hair from his scalp or donor area. He'll most likely get a thin hair. If he does a pull test and pulls 5 hairs atleast 2-3 of the hairs will most likely be thinner even if it's pulled from the donor area.

In the shower today I tried to keep track of the hairs. Around 15-20 hairs is what I saw and they were all different thicknesses and lengths.

Lmao i freak out when i see 5 strands in the sink when washing my hair.
You could have done some research to find out that even 100 hairs a day is just normal.
Instead you’re giving yourself a hard time and f*** yourself up mentally.
Don’t do that

I seen an article that actually says wash your hair three days in a row and then on the fourth after a showrr and completely dry you should only lose 15. It's called the comb test .... Confusing as fukk
