Losing tons of hair only on the sides of my head?

[cichlidfort]

So, I pretty much have a full head of hair with a slight widows peak. I know my hair has thinned in some areas since I was 18 (23 now) but especially at the sides of my head? What's stranger is that the hair on the sides of my head, like right about the ear is a totally different type of hair. I mean, I can literally get at least 50 hairs from each side at any given moment. The hairs come out effortlessly. It drives me INSANE! It makes me think I am going bald but on the top of my head I am fine. Here's two pictures I just took of myself after giving myself a buzz. Clearly, you can see the affected areas in my temple region right about the ears. My hair is normally really straight, but this hair is thicker and wavy. Almost like pubic hair kind of, just not as curly. Can anyone please help?
