How Would I Know If I Was Thinning (unless I Am)

[William_Alb]

Hi, I am 19, and I am at the age where I fear that I will be shortly thinning due to my genetics (unless I already am). How would I be able to distinguish between actually thinning hair so that I can jump on meds asap? And if the following pictures is actually a representation of thinning? thanks!

Thin hair. Only you and your family can say if you've always had thin hair or if it's thinned out.

I see, so it's better to start treatment now before it gets worse

Check if your hair strands get progressively thinner towards the roots.

Isnt some miniaturization normal? So if younlluck a hair chances are that you pick a miniaturized strand instead of a healthy one.

Check my other thread and you see what I'm talking about lol

I remember reading that about 5% of all hairs are miniaturizing in a non balding person. So if you get those miniaturized hairs often, you're facing Androgenetic Alopecia.
