Is this a sign of balding?

Hi, I’m 20 years old and have never had a problem in terms of my hair or thinking I was bald. However I have noticed that my hair near my crown seems thin and there are gaps in the hair showing the scalp. I have no frontal lobe recession or near the temples. Could this just be a cowlick or is the crown naturally thinner or is it an early sign of balding? I’ve provided two pictures to show what I mean.

Absolutely not.

Hair in the crown often grows out in such patterns and yours is incredibly thick and typical of somebody who (just guessing)... is around 16-21. Most people on here would kill for that hair so don't worry.

Best advice would be to leave the forum and enjoy your great hair!

Just saw you mentioned you were 20 in the post!

To be honest, I only signed up to this forum just now after reading your post title and looking at the pics, I noticed nobody had gotten around to a reply and I wanted to assure you that all is well. Great hair.

You have amazing hair, absolutely no signs of hair loss. Get the f*ck of this forum and go kiss a girl (or a guy, whatever), consensually of course.
