There was a part near the top of my hair, coming from my crown I've always been concerned about. I say always... well I mean since I've been worrying about hair loss. This little line that showed more scalp in certain lights was described as a natural parting. That sounded cool with me, until I started examining my hair again. I took a pic with my hair spiked up and I saw this mess.



.... can that really be a parting?

When my hair is wet, there's no signs of this strip thing that I'm seeing.



What is it? Is my concern here legitimate... or am I being irrational AGAIN?

There's an album with more pics, so feel free to look. I'm wearing a pink hair band in a couple of shots. Don't judge me. It's all there was in the bathroom.

Sorry for posting again after my last post, but I'm not sure what's going on here.

Thanks. Hope you all had a good Christmas.

That is a parting and you are being irrational. Move on and dont worry about your hair.

I agree...believe me there will be plenttttty of time to worry about losing your hair...enjoy the time you have NOW as your hair seems fine...if anything consider getting on Propecia to keep your hair. Enjoy your life and enjoy your hair! Move on.

I have a similiar line on the centre of my head a bit more towards my left than dead central,looking at photos i had since i was 16,it never got worse,its visable when i stand under a light,i think its an area of low density naturally,inface density varies all over my head the whole right side of my head is thicker than left-from nape to sidebirns the whole lot

Jonny,

Looks like a natural "parting" to me as well. I'd "keep an eye on it" and possibly schedule an appointment with a trusted dermatologist or hair restoration expert to confirm.

Good luck!

Hi,

If you are that worried about the parting, take a picture of your hair every 6 months an monitor it.

There is probably nothing to be concerned about imo.

Regards

Keep in the mind that wet hair always looks thinner, and top shots with flash look thinner still. It looks to me that you have a good head of hair. If you are concerned then set up a consultation with a hair doctor and get a miniaturization test done to see if you need to get on Propecia.

So it IS just a parting and I shouldn't be worried? Mum swears I've had it all my life, but... yeah.

Lol. Cuz I posted this pic on another forum, and this guy told me to get on fin, minoxidil and nizoral right away.

If it's just a parting then I don't need to stat using any of that stuff, right? I don't wanna start taking anything if I've got no problems.

I mean, I'm gonna start using nizoral just for my scalp, try and settle the down the dermatitis.

I would keep an eye on it as well...looks okay now!

Ehhh. I get so many mixed responses from different forums I don't know what to believe, and I just get more confused by it all.

I don't wear my hair like this, but if I comb my hair along the 'parting', then it looks like this.



And it looks like it follows on from my crown;



But combed completely straight, you can't see the parting, except this little... thinner part. I'm guessing it's due to the parting, but I dunno.



So yeah. I dunno what it is, and what to believe. One place tells me it's just a natural parting, then the next place tells me to keep an eye on it, and the next place tells me to start taking propecia asap.
