Hey everyone! Going through a slight hair crisis and am trying not to get so fixated on my hair but it’s very hard. So, I am receding and have somewhat come to terms with it. I use Chi Power Plus shampoo, conditioner and scalp treatment which is just supposed to thicken the hair but i’m not so sure i’ve noticed too much of a difference. Anyways, a few days ago i felt as if my hair near the crown/cowlick area was a bit thin so i took some pictures and, to my horror, discovered I might just be going bald. Now all i’ve been doing for the past 2 days is taking pictures and trying to convince myself I am not balding. My girlfriend is a barber/hair stylist and she says I’m not balding and that it’s just my cowlick. While I value her opinion and would love to trust her, I just can’t shake this feeling that it’s worse than what she says. I talked to my friend who is also receding and sent him the pictures, he said “Maybe a little bit” and recommended I get on some supplements and/or minoxidil. I bought minoxidil last night out of sheer panic but have not used it yet as i’m scared it may burn my hair off or something. Weirdly enough, though, after I discovered the potential balding, that area began feeling sensitive and a slight burning feeling. Even as I type this I can sort of feel it pulsing.
Attached are some photos of my hair when wet and dry, I moved my hair around so you can see it because normally I kind of brush it back and it hides that area. I don’t brush it back to do that, it’s just how my hairstyle is and has been for a little while. I used to have long hair, like, well past my shoulders long and I parted it down the middle so I think my hair still wants to do that and that may play a part in why I can see my scalp so visibly
