Whats up guys....I am new to this forum and actually found it while researching hair loss and I am not sure if I have always had this spot around my cowlick or if I am actually thinning. What do you guys think, do you think it is the start of male pattern baldness and should I think about trying to take care of it early??

Thanks

Here is the first one without a flash from the top

Back view with flash.....I have a natural part that runs directly down from my cowlick so I'm not sure it its that showing or thinning...I think it looks a little suspect

the top of my head and everywhere else is pretty thick it just seems like its around my cowlick and below that might be suspect. What do you guys think? :(

I'm 27 years old by the way

I think this guy has great hair! Maybe its in his genes to go a little thin on the crown as he ages but in my opinion he is NOT going bald, you can't fault the rest of his hair

i would say you're not going bald yet, maybe later, maybe not. right now no. keep an eye on it if it concerns you, but your hair looks great for now.

THanks for the replies, I guess I'm just worried about that line that runs down from my cowlick in the back, is this normal?? Any other comments??

Looks fine- I thought i was losing my hair at a much younger age, and all I did was worry. Hairlines mature, and no one can guarentee anything, but you should relax and enjoy life.

you guys don't think that thin spot running down from my cowlick in the back is the start of anything?? Is that normal on most people's head??

Thanks again

I just looked at the larger version of the picture and I see the bit you mean, it does look a bit thinner but I wouldn't worry too much.

It doesn't look to me like you're balding at all. Most guys with a full head of hair have that in the back and under the right light. Pick any spot on your head and use several fingers to separate the hairs in all directions at once. It will look the same.

Yes dont worry, it is just they way your hair is parted that makes it look a bit thinner plus the flash that always make you look balder than you are.

It is a good thing you are concerned, but you shouldnt go further than just concer right now. You dont need to worry or be sad cause you are not going bald at the moment. Keep an eye on it, if you see it progressing (perhaps in 1 or 2 years) come here again, i am sure there will be people that will advice you what actions to take.

For now, relax, you have great hair.

so the consensus is that no one thinks I should start any treatments??

It dosnt look like your balding from the pics. Keep an eye on it though, take pictures and compare to be sure.

At the moment I can´t say for sure whether you are balding or not. Just take monthly pictures and compare. Try to take them under same conditions (light, angle,....) and you will be fine.
