No, you do not need to worry. When you buzz your hair short it is very common to be able to see your scalp under a bright light. Relax, and stop wasting your time worrying about hairloss when you should be drinking and chasing women, or whatever 18 yearsold do these days to get there rocks off

I did and your hair looks fine, honestly it does. Like Petch said it is normal to see scalp with a buzz cut and especially under a light. The guys here are very honest and trust me, if you were loosing hair they would tell you.

I'm still working on my psychic abilities, of course i looked at your pic. :smack:
When you get it into your head that your thinning, it's hard to get it out again, but us guys on this forum are expert at spotting the signs of male pattern baldness, since we are all obsessed and you don't want our obsession, cos it sucks. Just keep your eyes out in the future, use that pic to compare in another years time.

I resent the obsession tag. I have a perfectly healthy fascination with other mens' hairlines.

Good question but I think to some degree you will always worry about it some. I remember as a teen before I even lost any hair I used to think 'God, I hope I never lose my hair". It always was on my mind even then, it's part of being a guy I guess.

There is a very simple way to stop worrying.lenlij said:
Photos.
And not the quality of pics you have showing above.
Get a friend, or a bright sunlit room and start taking high quality digital images of your hair. Wet, and dry. Styled and unstyled. Get it as wet as possible, so you see as much skin as possible, and take pictures of it looking its worst.
Make sure the focus is 100% perfect, and the images are large megapixel-wise.
High quality digital images of your hair in every possible state.
Then save them on your computer.
The days that you begin to doubt, or worry, open up the pictures and watch your concerns fade away instantly. It works. Pictures will help keep you from "thinking" that things have gotten worse when they haven't. They will correct the paranoia your minds-eye starts.
Make sure you put a date on the pictures, or label the directory on your computer so you know when it was taken. The further you get - 1 year, 2 years 3 years down the road, youll see nothing has changed ... and you'll be very happy you took them.
When you start to lose hair, you dont notice it in the mirror anyways. Its all over the place.
Take pics.

Really? I'd find a high-def record of my hairline's seven year decline just a tad on the depressing side. I mean, what a folder to have sat on the PC, two hundred pictures of my doomed battle against male pattern baldness.
Still, it does sound like a great way to put the original poster's mind at ease.
Petch, me old mucker, there's no denial here: that mis-placed apostrophe (mens'!) demands action.
