Receded Temples & Thinning Crown Or Irrational Anxiety?

[GBClique]

Hi everyone,

I just turned 27 a few weeks ago and have been noticing a lot of shedding happening when I shower or comb my hair. I've been obsessing over it since I noticed so I decided to shave my head. It looks to me like my temples have receded and my crown has thinned (I have a whorl in the crown area when it's longer - but it appears more severe than just that). Anyway, I would like a second opinion as I am quite neurotic and may be judging too harshly. I attached some photos with and without flash. You can see one picture is my 21 year old shaved head to use as a baseline. It's the only photo I have with a shaved head from the past. I know it's not very good quality. The rest are from yesterday.

Thanks for your time!

Temples just barely receded and not sure about the crown you didn’t have a baseline crown pic. You look good though

Maybe a little thinning? But since I’m really having to strain to figure out if you’re balding then I’d say you’re not. Norwood 1 at 27 lucky ***
