Thinning Crown (needs To Be 7 Words Long)

[hollow11]

I can see some difference in my crown over the past few months, what do you guys think? Know I'm nowhere near bald at the moment but could I be starting the process?

Looks like a normal cowlick IMO

i don't know honestly, on the last few pics of the album there's quite a few scalp visible that is not a part of the cowflick

Like said @davesmith420, it's just a natural cowlick

No thinning, you still have good hair. Camera flashes bring out the whiteness from your scalp even worse than a regular crappy camera phone.

It looks fine but monitor it from month to month, don't let it get out of hand.

I see.. i'm probably stressing out on my university finals and having a surgery set up in the next couple of weeks. Good to know at least my hair's alright. Stress must've been the reason why i see some hair strands sometimes when I run my hand through my hair.

btw, i've found a pic of me with really short hair from about half an year ago. (3rd pic) and my current lenght of hair at bright sunlight (2nd pic). First pic is taken minutes ago with phone flash.
might be bad lightning but still doesnt quite look right to me
im not sure how people on my other thread can claim my crown is perfect and that i have BDD and if i in fact have a good crown - why can i not see that?

Your crown is absolutely fine. I'm sure of it.

Hard to say. What is your background? (Asian, white, etc).

There is always less hair there (usually) on the vertex. Even with people that have thick hair/no balding.

So, that's not unusual. If you are Asian, then I would say probably not. If you are white, there might
be some balding on the vertex.

You might be right. It could be a Norwood one stage, starting to form? Compared to the pictures on the right, there does seem to be less.

But it could be stress, which is only temporary.

How is your hairline doing?

Well this is the hairline.I'm not asian. People have been telling me I've got my mothers genes when it comes to hair because her temples look like mine and we have the same hair colour (my dad's got brown hair,kind of curly on the old photos that ive seen of him, Norwood 3 or maybe 4, but it leans more towards 3 i would say at the age of 50). Grandfather on his side was NW4-5 and grandfather on my mothers side was NW2 , if he had any hair loss at all.

I have been under a lot of stress lately but i don't think that's the reason.What worries me is that 1-2 strands of hair come off quite easily when I run my hand through my hair.

Also, i've been able to see scalp in this area pretty easily under phone flash.

oh well

Don't worry about it, the crown pics look full and healthy. You're going to see some skin if you take pictures of it, your hair is dark, and you have fairly light skin, so the contrast is going to show. It also looks like your hair is reasonably coarse so the hair density is likely to be on the light side, which again means more scalp on the camera.

Your hairline shows some minor recession, but nothing that would indicate balding in your immediate future. I would keep an eye on it though

yeah, it's quite noticeable when i'm comparing it to pics from ~ 2 years ago (1st pic) and even late 2016 (2nd pic). It all happened around my exams, when my life became pretty stressful due to them and some other reasons. Hasn't got better since then, hope it doesn't get worse .

Hair is on point at this point, don't worry about it, but keep taking photos every 6 months and check in over here just to keep your mind at ease

How old are you? Since you talked about exams, I assume you're college aged. This kind of recession is normal for that age. Your first pic shows a juvenile hairline, rounded and closed off. I'd say all that's happened is you've receded to your adult hairline. This happens to the overwhelming majority of men, and it's not necessarily indicative of whether the rest of your hair is going anywhere soon. Hell, it happened to me at 14. I'm 22 now and it hasn't budged.
