Hello everyone, I am a 23 year old male and have recently become worried I might be balding at the crown. This is because my barber mentioned that I did not grow a lot of hair at the crown during my last haircut, and so by the time I am 30 I will be completely bald there. Since then I've noticed that I've been losing a lot of hair strand here and there, but I don't think it's any more than the so-called normal 25-100 stands human lose per day. I've taken some pictures but I still can't decided if I'm going bald because some of my pics seems to confirm my fears while others pic show it as normal. As for my family history, my grandfather from my father's side was completely bald. My father's brothers (3 in total) have all lost a lot of their hair on their crown and all but one sports the buzzcut/bald look. My father is the youngest and has kept his hair until recently (last year when he turned 50), now he is balding at the crown a lot. I never met my mother's father, and most of the men in her family seem to go through mild balding in their 50's. Another thing I want to mention is that I had alopecia areata when I was 19 but I got treated for it with a topical spray. Also when I was 17 I also got comments that I was balding but I realized that it was because I was mistreating my hair so I began to treat it gentler (using less harsh shampoos, treating it delicately, avoiding styling iron, avoiding hot showers) and since then I haven't gotten those comments. Anyways here are the pic I took all today, tell me your honest opinion, is this normal or no? (My hair's type is fine)
