Are whirls on the crown a sign of hairloss? Am I losing my hair? (Pics)

[JoeTillman]

You need to understand that having a whorl is not bad. It is the descriptive regarding hair direction. The crown is the area you're concerned about and the whorl is the rotational growth pattern. Little known fact, all of the hair on your head is an extension of the crown whorl.

Anyway, your photos are inconclusive at this point. My gut tells me you may have an issue forming but as stated earlier, you consider finding an IAHRS member in your area and have them assess you in person.

Either way I think you have some time to monitor your situation. Take some similar images with same lightigting every three to six months. If you notice any thinning go see a hairloss expert (be careful with that one), to acess your situation. If nothing else there's always Finasteride.

Take new photos without using the flash on your camera. Flash makes non-balding crowns look like they're balding.
