Hi all. 24 M - Asian. Family history of MPB (Paternal). Dad is 56, NW5.
It started with a hole in my hairline on the left temple. Then I started noticing more strands of hair falling out while shampooing and while styling my hair. On certain days, I will find 10-15 strands of hair in the lather on my hand after shampooing (pretty sure there are more that just get rinsed down the drain). When styling my hair, I usually drop another 5 strands. I can also feel my entire head of hair getting thinner.
Album shows photos now after coming out of the shower with a comparison photo of my hairline from 3 years back.
My questions are:
Another factor to note is that I changed my hairstyle roughly 9 months ago; started combing my hair up into a pompadour. Could my hair loss be caused by me combing my hair up?
Getting really paranoid. Friends and family say I look fine. But I feel like the balding is quite noticeable.

My questions are:
- How many strands do I have to shed for me to be considered shedding?
- Am I suffering from MPB? Or is this regular maturing hairline?
