Eh. It's not terrible but I wouldn't wait to treat it. Hair loss can be especially difficult for Asian men because they have less company since Asians tend to bald less than whites. I see some acne too that concerns me so I would recommend you start with anti-inflammatories.

Scalp Condition Impacts Hair Growth and Retention via Oxidative Stress


As can be seen from the summary of scalp abnormalities, the most common manifestation to hair emerged from an unhealthy scalp is an altered cuticle with evidence of surface pitting, roughness, cuticle rigidity, or breakage. In some cases, the impact is manifested as shine reduction. In addition to the physical changes, there are biochemical alterations observed in hair emerged from an unhealthy scalp, with both protein and lipid components affected, most commonly by oxidative damage.[17,61,66,67]

Finally, a number of observations have found that premature hair loss may be caused by the poor scalp health associated with either dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis,[62,63,64] or psoriasis,[68,69] indicating that the effect on the preemergent hair fiber may alter the anchoring force of the fiber with the follicle, as evidenced by an increased proportion both of catagen and telogen,[74,75] and of dysplastic anagen hairs (anagen hairs devoid of hair root sheaths)[75,76] in the trichogram (hair pluck).

It's too early to say that you are balding since your hairline appears firm. You might be the one in 100 who has actually thinned temporarily due to stress but the acne is a DHT artifact usually seen less in Asians overall so you might be balding. It's unusual to see such a vigorous hairline with thinning in the crown but look also at the jagged patch in front of your ears. That's usually not cosmetically significant but you do appear to have thinned there a little. Asians often have rounder hairlines so imagine an oval band from the hairline down to the ear area.

When my hair in front start to grow back, it was the hair in front of the ears that astonished me because you usually think about the crown and temples but we can even lose some hair just above the side burns.

you have a nice low hairline that's filled out. The bad news is that you have 2 main issues which is ur naturally thinner hair which I assume you were born with(asians seem to have this) and the 2nd issue is the thinning around your crown which has progressed after the natural thin have you have.

Since you're 16 you can start off with essential oils like rosemary oil which is as strong as minoxidil 2%

You can also look into getting regenepure dr which contains ketoconazole

I would research a couple essential oils that naturally block DHT and fungus forming on the scalp.

I agree with this. However, don’t worry about wasting money on regenepure, just add a Rosemary oil/peppermint oil/jojoba oil mix to your ketoconazole shampoo. That’s exactly what I do.

You can still have dandruff issues before balding. I used to have it back in high school before I started balding by 20/21 years old

It’s hard to say, but I’d bet no. I live in Korea so I see this type of hair daily. Many guys look diffuse in the light but when they grow it out it’s thick as phuck. Grow it out for a couple months

February 2018 vs a couple of weeks ago.
bright lights always make us look diffuse, which leads to panic, which leads to finasteride.

I think your right and it’s just my hairstyle here is a photo from I think jan the 1st 2021 this was like 7 days before my haircut where my hair was very long and thick and you can see under direct light of the gym toilet my scalp is not visible, sorry for the sh*t quality I just found a old pic of me at the gym from a month ago

No balding, bro. Your hair will always look especially sparse in bright light.
For your dandruff use nizoral/ketoconazole shampoo once a week. Add the Rosemary/peppermint oil(5% total) and jojoba oil. That’s how I use it and my hair and scalp feel great lately.

Most likely, it just stops the dandruff and inflammation but you need minoxidil for regrowth.
