Wet Hair And Dry Hair. Am I Balding ?

[TimPro9976]

Just taken a picture of my hair when wet under direct light for the first time and it looks abysmal . (Also looks abit red)

Am I balding !? I think I know the answer

 

[HairlineOfGod]

I would say yes, maybe sclap inflamation.

Go to a derm

Could that cause me to lose hair? If so could I get that back?

Bump

 

[Seeker988]

I don't think so

 

[TimPro9976]

I don't think so

You don’t think what? That I can grow it back??
It’s annoying because when it’s dry it’s fine . But wet.. terrible

You're white and your hair is blonde. I'm sure that there's slight thinning on top but it is amplified because you've wet hair as well as the flash mode on. Your blonde hair bounces off a lot of light which is similar in color to your scalp. Look at your wet pic,you can see "thinning" way north of your crown but if you take a close look,you can see that there's a lot of hair over there. It's your blonde color hair thag bounces the flash,making it look like you're showing a lot of scalp IMO.

Thanks a lot but my hair is brown, not blonde. Are you looking at the right pictures ? Haha.

Anyway I hope you’re right. I’m going to have a chat with my GP to see if I can see a derm.

Lol,stupid me. I meant to say that when it's taken with a flash,it seems blonde and that's why it resembles the color of your scalp somewhat. Yeah you've brown hair,I feel like a retard now

 

[Seeker988]

Don't you have a private derm in your country?? The one whom you could visit any time you want without any recommendations ?

 

[blackg]

You have really nice, and seemingly thick, brown hair
I can't figure out the disparity between wet and dry pics.
Maybe the light is just too bright making for a very biased looking image.

I wish I had your hair.

, probably I just haven’t really looked into it

 

[TimPro9976]

Would love to know a few more opinions on the state of my hair

Your hair looks incredible on the dry pic, zero hair loss. It doesn’t looks great when wet but then most don’t. Could you take a better pic of your crown dry. I think you don’t have much to worry about though

Major ? :S

If you want my opinion you are thinning in the crown area.
You still have nice silky hair though and girls will still like it for another few years at least.

Make the most of it, son.

Thank you. Time to bite the bullet and get on finasteride!

Definitely get on finasteride. I also think dermarolling the area to increase bloodflow would help. Do you happen to have any flaking or itching? It looks a little inflamed, like mild seborrheic dermatitis.
