my hair has recently started to grow back from a bad haircut i got, i haven’t really paid much attention to my hair until i took picture of it with the flash on. i naturally have thin hair and i’m sure the flash makes it seem worse than it is but i’d still appreciate feed back. if it is balding, what first steps should i take?

That's tough to really assess. I didn't have any obvious signs, but there were hints. I was able to see much more scalp as it was impossible to see beforehand. Combing it is easier than before. Your best bet is to look at old pictures and try to compare. It looks to me like you have no receding hairline. I honestly think that the flash and the way the picture was taken just made it look a bit odd that you're not accustomed to seeing. I would guess you don't have any hair loss yet for the most part. What is your family's history of hair loss?what would be the obvious signs? and do you think i should take any action right now
Does he look bald? You can tell even with guys who shave their heads whether or not they have hair follicles. Anyways, it's not obvious to me that you're thinning. So here are some simple things you can do. I would stay off finasteride unless the hair loss becomes too obvious and you go see a dermatologist who confirms it and prescribes it. However, I would get on some nizoral. Take it 3 times a week, massage it gently into your scalp, and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing. Take some biotin, l-lysine, and maybe l-cysteine, collagen, and phytoceramides supplements. Make sure you're getting some protein, vitamin c, and zinc in your diet (you don't need a ton). See if this helps thicken your hair. Now keep in mind this won't reverse hair loss, but if your hair was kind of thin from lacking nutrients, it will definitely help.my dad had long hair until i was about 2 but he chose to shave it off, well that’s what he told me. my dads dad had hair until getting cancer unfortunately, and my moms dad still has hair now.
In any case, don't worry about it. I would guess you didn't lose any hair at all yet. Best thing to do is to keep a photo diary of your hair. Take pictures in the exact lighting conditions and various angles and with roughly the same length hair every month. Then after 6 months or so inspect them. Make sure you date them so you know the chronological order. A good idea is to take the pictures in the same room, with the same lighting, and during the same time of day. Eliminate all variables.i’ll have to check the next time i see him, thank you for your input i’ll look into those things!
And in the meantime nizoral and vitamins are safe as long as you don't overload on some vitamins like iron.i’ll have to check the next time i see him, thank you for your input i’ll look into those things!
