Balding or Hair Whorl - 24 y/o

[paulsharon]

Hi All,

I recently got a haircut (a little bit shorter than normal) and noticed a really thin spot on the crown of my head. I am 24 years old.

Not sure if it is balding or a hair whorl.

I am not sure what to think.

I get my haircut every 3 - 4 weeks and have never noticed this sort of sport on the back - ever. How could balding seem so sudden? Could it be that my hair has been cut extra short? does this is look the beginning of a balding spot or is it a natural whorl?

You will notice some redness on the scalp - this is from a recent sunburn.

I have attatched images as well as images for the rest of my hair to provide context on overall thickness. I have typically been told I have thick hair. Please advise.

Pic three makes it look like you are thinning on the crown for sure. PIc 4 and 5 looks normal.

Pic 3 looks like balding. But the rest look okay

the third pic looks like your balding like other said my hairs similar

It looks like your crown is thinning based on these pics. The area affected seems bigger than the usual diameter of a whorl.
