Is my crown thinning?

[joao needs help]

If you're habitually pulling at your hair then please stop. Doing that could certainly account for losing hair and noticing thinning. Frequent pulling at hair can cause hair to be lost - it would normally grow back but if done too often then follicles can stop producing hair. As an example, think of women who over-pluck their eyebrows and end up with no eyebrows left. That's the same mechanism in action.

But it is also possible that you're experiencing male pattern baldness at a young age. It does happen. So I would cease the twisting and see if your crown density improves. That's all you can do for the time being.

I stopped twisting since yesterday. I read that it takes about 4-6 months for the hair to grow back. Thank you for your tips
