Hello, I am a 20 y/o male. Half Mexican and half white, seemingly I inherited the Latino hair. It is very rough and coarse and I've had a widow's peak since I was a kid. I haven't noticed any thinning, and nothing is falling out in the shower or anything. I can't even pull it out if I wanted to, really. I usually get buzz cuts, so for about 6 years now it has always been extremely short. I get it cut a lot because it grows back really fast and thick. These are pics of me a week or two after getting it cut.
My father went bald early, but everyone else in my family have always had hair. Especially on my Latino side, their hair is extremely coarse and many of them have gone old and died with full heads of hair.
I asked my hairdresser about it and she said not to worry and that it was just my hairline. But I've become pretty obsessed over this, it's kind of cutting into my everyday life.
I should tell you this before, however. I have dysmorphia. That means I can't see myself for what I really look like and I struggle with my appearance. I've been TERRIFIED lately that I've been going bald. I can't really say what began this in me, but every time I look in the mirror now I see someone who is balding. Perhaps you all can help me? I'm not trying to disrespect anyone who might be having serious problems, but this is my anxiety/disease talking. So yeah, telling me I'm going bald may trigger some SERIOUS anxiety problems with me... but I have to know I guess. Especially since if it's not that bad, I should probably focus on my dysmorphia and work on that before buying some Rogain... thank you all for your help.
