Hello everyone.
Before anything, I want to make it clear that I'm not a troll or whatsoever. I've been struggling mentally with that hair loss thing since end of 2018, when I started paying attention to my shedding and my temples. I even posted here last year to get an opinion about my right temple, but I ended up finding that it was always like it is now.
That discover relieved me a bit, but then I started paying a lot more attention to my cowlick, or crown, you name it. Even though I have a long hair, the day after I shower the cowlick becomes visible. Only through styling I can ''hide it''. But it appears to lack hair there, on top. Also, I can't part my hair in any other way, because of the damn cowlick. I am attaching pictures below.
Before comparing me to Alexander Shenton or Sisid, I would like to talk more about my shedding. I always wash my hair every other day, and since I remember my shedding was up to 100, conditioning + combing on this same day. I never comb it or brush it in the days between because it knots easily. However, lately my shedding has increased. The last time I counted I stopped at 155, even though there were a lot more. It was probably close to 200 that day. So depressing. And it's been like that for weeks. I can't spot density change, but that number is certainly alarming. Because I part my hair like the photo, I can feel that the right side of my hair is less volumous than the other. I mean, that part is not even in the middle, or the right, or the left. It just lays there when I comb.
I don't have any bald relatives in my family. My father is nw1, my mom's dad is also a nw1, probably nw0 and my uncle is probably a nw2.5, but his lifestyle doesn't help. There are other pictures attached and I would like an opinion from you guys. I went to a derm last year but he didn't do anything, when I said I was obsessing over hair loss the only thing he did was prescribing finasteride and minoxidil. He said that my scalp was too greasy and then prescribed. I tried to zoom the area that bothers me most, which appears to be thinning/thin. There are photos from 2018-2020. My hair used to be wavy as hell, and appeared to be a thicker.
Unfortunately, I don't have older pics from my hair as I never liked taking photos. But I have been with a long hair since 2014. Trim sometimes. I'll let these pictures here and evaluate a few months later. If the shedding doesn't decrease, I'll cut it shorter or even shave.
Peace.
