Tell Me If You See Anything Noticeably Thinning With These Microscoped Images

Hello, I'm 21 yrs old at a NW2. However, I have noticed my hair density doesn't look the same, which prompted me to purchase a usb microscope to further examine hair follicles. I want to point out, that I infrequently apply minoxidil to my face and eyebrows at nights, so I wouldn't know if I rub it through my scalp while asleep.
At times, I also don't wash it off my face, do to rushing in the morning, i'd even put more on top of the day prior.

When I comb my hair, all I shed out are these short hairs, even though my hair is longer than them.
Most of those short 3cm hairs are not small in diameter. I took anti depressant pill once from a friend to see how i'd feel, and after that is when I noticed short hairs.


My lateral humps have this strange cowlick thin patch that doesn't seem to progress. My hair line has obvious miniaturization, I'm now concern with vertex and sides of head. Hair appears to have a 50% density loss, also my hair texture seems to be changing as will. My hair now looks ratty, and sparse in certain areas. Honestly its been that way ever since I was putting Keto 2% cream in my hair, thinking I could make a regime out of it.



Do note, that the following images are primarily from the vertex, only one is a temple image. If you would like to see a specific region, let me know. I can also take better quality snapshots. Thanks

Pic 6 shows a few hairs that are of lesser diameter than the rest but that doesn't necessarily equate to miniaturization. It's hard to tell with the others to be honest. It would be a good idea to have reference points in your pics to make comparing easier in the future. Do you have curly hair?

I like the quality of your microscope. Do you mind sharing the make/model?

Thank you for your response, I do understand what it is you're talking about. I will factor in labeling the specific region of scalp next time I post. Also, yes I have fine textured curly hair. The majority of the images was vertex, one was the back of scalp.

If you don't have a disk drive, you can install a free program called ' Plugable digital viewer' which allows you to utilize this microscope. Microscope comes with its own CD software, but I don't have a disk drive myself to install.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to order that one.

I had a microscope that clipped to my phone but it didn't have that type of magnification and clarity as yours. I have curly hair so in some angles my hair strands would look thin. I never knew that that curly hair can be flat until I seen them with the microscope. It made setting reference points a pain. It should be easier to tell with the new microscope.

Thanks again.
