21 year old male...Am I balding?

[BoxCon1]

Am I balding? I’m a 21 yo male, where I work, there’s a security tv with a 3 second delay so I could see the back/top of my head when I turn around and seeing a gigantic bald spot just depresses me

I used to have very long hair but I cut it off back in August and it grew pretty quick, I cut it in January again, it’s pretty long but that bald spot around my hair swirl makes me not want to cut it.

I have curly hair, I get complemented on it a lot, my father is late 40s with hair similar to mines and he still has a full head of hair

I used conditioner and hair spray everyday(if not then it gets puffy and dry) should I stop doing this?

You do seem to be in the beginning stages of MPB - but to what extent is hard to say at this point. If I were you, I would get a professional opinion and look into treatment, medication, etc. Meet with a medical professional, get their input, and go from there. Monitor your hair with photos once every 2 weeks or so over the next 6 months and see if you can get it stabilized.

And lastly - don't panic. It's not that advanced atm. This could end up being fairly straightforward - AND something that may be easily covered up with Topik. Stay positive and take action on getting a handle on this.
