Harsh lighting? Diffuse thinning? What is going on..
Every day I'm stressing out as I just don't understand what's going on with my hair. I'm not worried about the hairline as it's always bee like that. (have checked photos from when I was a kid and it looks exactly the same) I'm worried about the way I can see scalp on top of my head in certain lighting, so much scalp that it just looks so damn bad and it's killing me. I look up diffuse thinning online and it looks similar to the way my hair looks in strong light. My hair was short, but I wouldn't consider it short enough to see this much scalp anymore...
These photos are taken straight after I woke up. The 2nd last picture was with no lighting, and the last picture was taken a few months ago when my hair was longer than it is now.
22 years old, double crown, depressed, having a really shit time at the moment.

Another pic I just took, looks a bit better. I really don't know if the other pictures are just harsh lighting or some kind of MPB.

Looks like diffuse thinning (on the 1st photo) to me. Your hair still looks ok, but you should definitely consider using propecia to slow down the thinning and maybe also try rogaine.

Is diffuse thinning the same as MPB? Have I got diffuse thinning until I'm bald or is this preventable?

You have MPB... You are starting to diffusely thin in the MPB-prone regions (crown and midscalp). The medications work best in these areas. Try minoxidil and finasteride.

But how come it looks the same in pictures when I'm like 5 years old? Was I diffusing then? I don't understand this. It only looks like this in sunlight at a certain angle.
