Am I losing my hair? Asian 23 yr old

[depleted]

Hi all,

I am 23 and chinese. After having a haircut, i noticed that in some angles, i could see my scalp through the hair. This prompted me to take some photos and videos, some of which were quite alarming.

Part of me is convinced i am going bald but there is one important thing that makes me think i could be ok - the fact I am asian.

Asians have hair which sticks up/out stubbornly and at right angles to the scalp. If i try to flatten my hair, it pops straight back up..... Moreover, my hair is incredibly straight all the way round my head.

As a result of this, could this be why it looks like im balding? when in reality it's just my hair?

I don't think my hair has ever been particularly thick, so i don't have anything to compare to, which is part of the issue.


I haven't really noticed any large shedding, ie when I wash my hair in the morning either.

Could you take a look at some of the photos below please and let me know your opinions? mix of flash, dry & wet.


Would appreciate any feedback.

If it does turn out that I am not actually balding, I don't mean any disrespect to anyone here.

Thanks








One of the most alarming ones

Are you receding?

Are you receding?

Hi Biqqiesmalls, my hair isn't receding, it just appears to be thinning and I can see my scalp like above (or when looking at the angle in the direction which my hair grows)

However, because my hair is so straight, I'm just wondering if it is actually thinning or is my the camera is just looking straight down the hairs.

Does anyone else have any more opinions?

I would say no you are not. But I would keep a close eye on it. Not everyday, but every few months or so.

Thanks, what's your opinion on this picture? Sorry if I'm sounding paranoid
