Hi everyone,

22M here who just found out there is kind of a bald spot on the crown of my head. I don’t really know how this has happened since nobody had ever told me my hair was thinning and i’ve been having my hair cut by the same hairdresser for more than 10 years and he never said anything to me. I’m freaking out a little bit not gonna lie. I’m not sure what the bald spot is because it’s like my hair’s thin all over since i can “move” the bald spot if i style my hair different. I’m gonna post some pictures so you can see it by yourselves and i’ll really appreciate if you could honestly tell me if you think it is male pattern baldness or whatever you think. I think I am balding but I would like to know you guys’ opinions.

thank you!

Being honest with you, looks to patchy to be a cowlick. So yeah, it's hair loss. Genetics? Oily hair? Give us more info. In any case, welcome to the club and hope you start treating it as soon as possible.

There's some crown thinning and maybe additional diffusing in that area. Hard to see and know for sure unless you get a much shorter haircut.

How's your hairline? I wish I could say confidently it's just an enlarged cowlick. Looks like thinning on your crown

my hairline is the same it has always been, however recently all of my hair has been thinning and i thought it was because i lost almost 20kg and i had some kind of deficiency (i got checked and i do have vitamin d deficiency) but that thinning on the crown doesn’t look like a vitamin deficiency tbh. i will try to go the dermatologist this week so i guess they’ll tell me what it is but if i’m completely honest i’m expecting male pattern baldness

on my dad’s side nobody is bald and on my mom’s side my uncles and grandfather started going bald quite old and they only have a receding hairline, no crown balding yet, but i guess i got it from that side. my hair is not specially oily and it is low porosity hair and i do get quite a lot of dandruff but apart from that i don’t know what to tell you. it has always been thin and depending on how i styled it i could see my scalp but i had never realized i have such a big bald spot over there neither has the hairdresser that has been cutting my hair for the past 12 years lol so it has been quite a shocker tbh

My guess is, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if your parent went bald early in life or in his 90, if you carry the gene it'll manifest itself no matter what or when. We all hope it to happen later than sooner, but sadly it's not always the case.

Yes, that is genetic hair loss in your pictures.

Just had bad luck in the gene lottery ;)

My father also has full hair, even at ü60, but I'm also bald.
