Hair thinning? Can't tell

[jonnykino]

Hey been a while since I posted, but a bit bothered by something. Just had my hair cut, got it cut a lot shorter than usual - not intentionally but whatever. So, decided to get home and have a check at the part that bothers me.
I got this:

Went to a derm last year, who said my hair was fine with no hair loss, prescribed me Ketopine (I think) for my scalp as it's inflamed and scabby. My hair, and scalp hasn't changed from last year I don't think - I just think it looks worse since my hair is short. I don't know. My hair doesn't look like this when I use mirrors. My hair is damp in those pics, some with flash, some without, but what do you think? In comparison to my dry - albeit lesser quality pics, as I used a webcam:

I don't know it looks like that as my hair is straight and blonde. But either way, I don't like it and dunno if it's a problem or just 'the way my hair is'.
My hairline is a V shape, and I'm not a fan of it but there's no thinning. Family members say it's the same - I don't know if they're just saying that, but either way, V shape with no thinning is mature. I'm just worried about overall diffuse thinning.
Here's a couple of pics where my hair is dry, though I have product in - I tend to always wear product because of the texture of my hair, it's sticks out as it's straight, so I need to wear something to flatten it. This is just after getting up this morning, so I've not wash my hair or anything.

I took a couple pics a week or two ago of the bath after I'd had one. These are the hairs in the bath. I've had to higher up the contrast so you can see them.

oh, and here's a pic from 2 years ago. it's cached so not a great quality photo, but it's all I have. It's when I started to worry about my crown and top of my hair.

So yeah. Replies would be great cos I'm confused at the moment. And I hate this hair cut.

Sorry about the long post and numerous pics. Pulling my hair out - well not really - worrying about this.

Kind of hard to tell. I have a cowlick myself and even when I wasn't thinning out it kind of looked like I was. If you are starting to thin you are in the beginning stages. Go see a derm to make sure.

Yeah, that's what I can't work out myself. Especially since it's been like this for 2/3 years - the length of time I've been checking my hair. So I don't know. And I can't tell if it's worse or exactly the same. Plus, last derm I went to just told me it was fine and gave me nizoral for my scalp.

I've deleted a load of my old pics, but the ones I've found from last year and the year before I've put here for a comparison.

So that's 2011/2012... maybe one from 2010, but not sure.

If a derm already said you were okay than just continue to monitor as you have been. Upon first glance I wouldnt think you had any hairloss.

Scalp is clearly inflamed, but no hair loss. You have a lot of hair, but strands that are individually fine, which can give the deceptive appearance of thinning. I'm also kind of blondish (little darker than yours) and just had a first cut in about 5 months. Flat out asked if mine was thinning and he said, "You don't have a thinning problem, you have a DENSITY problem." Either way, go with what the derm says -- if he/she said it was normal, than put your mind at ease.
