Hey guys, so I'm trying to figure out whether I'm going bald or not. I'm 20 years old, and I have pretty thick hair, but I tend to be a hypochondriac and lately I've been fingering my part and trying to figure out if it's always looked like this, and if it looks normal and etc.
Can I have some help from the experts?
The following four pictures were taken this morning with my computer, before I showered or got out of bed. My hair is a little frazzled which might be responsible for odd partings.
From the front: (this picture was taken a couple of nights from a skype conversation. I don't THINK i see any signs of receding)
Signs on my side:
. My father has a full head of hair
. My mother's hair is very, very thick
. MY hair is extremely thick. Almost every time I get my hair cut (many times by a new barber), they each randomly comment on how thick my hair is, and on how much hair I have. The barber I've had longest said she doesn't think I'm going to go bald, but that was about a year ago.
. I have a Widow's Peak (I read somewhere this is a good sign? I don't know, it sounds fishy to me)
Signs against me:
. My mother's grandfather AND brother are bald (but they don't have a widow's peak, which my mother does. I hope this suggests that I have my mother's thick hair, rather than theirs. Apparently both of them started going bald even before 20).
. My father's father is bald
Am I just worrying myself sick? Does my part look normal?
That being said, if I AM going bald, what tests can I do to make sure? And what steps can I make to prevent losing as much hair as possible?
Thank you for putting time into your responses!
