    Default Am I Balding?

    http://imgur.com/a/STZBp

    I'm 18. (The first two photos are before I washed my hair and the rest of the photos are after I washed my hair) What is that streak on the crown of my head in the first two photos? It sorta turns into a swirl after I wash my hair, so could it be cowlick or hair part? My hair is pretty thick all around.

    I never take pictures of the crown of my head but I just noticed this. My father is 68 and he still has a full head of hair. The hairs on my crown usually tend to stand up so I don't know if I'm balding or if it's cowlick. I rarely see, if any, hairs on my pillow or when I brush my hair. Some hairs fall out when I wash my head but that's normal.

    Nope.

    Just a swirl.

    Most Asians have that kind of swirl. It's normal. Your crown is not balding.

    That's nice to know. I've been actually told by a two people that I have diffuse thinning... But most have said that I'm not balding.

    Your hair is thick as f***

    They were probably too obsessed with your natural Asian cowlick/swirl and assumed you're diffuse thinning.

    How about my hairline? A couple of people on other forums have said that my hairline is receding. I can't really tell if it's receding or not.
