First time poster here. Hope everyone's doing alright.
Alright, so basically about 2 months ago, I was in front of the mirror doing my hair as I normally would and everything looks normal as can be for me. I only recently started reppin' the short hair look halfway through last year. Before that just messy long hair.
Anyway a few days later, something hit me and I noticed my hair seemed off, as if I have a receding hairline and thinner hair. I've always had really thick fast growing hair to the point where my hairdresser would say It's going to last a lifetime. But lately It's felt really thin. Stressing about this, I did some research and learnt about the norwood scale, medications for hairloss, etc, and was wondering if I should start off using minox or prop now or if I'm alright and just going crazy. I've recently gone through a stressful time. Parents recently divorced and it's just been horribly really. I've been staying up all night stressing out for so long my chest would hurt.
I ended up going for a bood test to make sure if everything was okay and the results showed I was completely healthy and have no problem at all. I've gone to two doctors and both of them said I'm not losing my hair. My family said the same thing. Parents, brother, all my friends. Dad said I've always had a naturally bit higher hairline. He's right, checking photos of when I was a kid my right side was always a little higher. I know there's the whole people will say it's okay to make you hear what you want to hear thing but they're not really like that. They just hit me over the head and say something's wrong with my brain and that I look as normal as ever. Lately I've been checking my pillow after I wake up and no hairs are there at all. In the shower I notice maybe 3-5 hairs come out on my hands but I'd consider that normal as hair is weaker when wet.
Anyway, here are some pictures under lighting, not under lighting, when wet and when dry.
What do you guys think? Normal hairline for a 20 year old? Am I stressing over nothing or should I do something about it? Sorry, I know there are many out there way way worse off than me, I just like to be cautious and take action early to prevent. Thanks guys.
