Thanks for your reply. Here's another pic to judge my hair. My hair is dry, though I have product in - I tend to always wear product because of the texture of my hair, it's sticks out as it's straight, so I need to wear something to flatten it. This is just after getting up this morning, so I've not wash my hair or anything. http://i40.tinypic.com/2wgu2ok.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/1zlu546.jpg (webcam) oh, and here's a pic from 2 years ago. it's cached so not a great quality photo, but it's all I have. It's when I started to worry about my crown and top of my hair. http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/7565/attachmentxb.jpg

Hey been a while since I posted, but a bit bothered by something. Just had my hair cut, got it cut a lot shorter than usual - not intentionally but whatever. So, decided to get home and have a check at the part that bothers me. I got this: http://oi41.tinypic.com/evbbj7.jpg Went to a derm last year, who said my hair was fine with no hair loss, prescribed me Ketopine (I think) for my scalp as it's inflamed and scabby. My hair, and scalp hasn't changed from last year I don't think - I just think it looks worse since my hair is short. I don't know. My hair doesn't look like this when I use mirrors. My hair is damp in those pics, some with flash, some without, but what do you think? In comparison to my dry - albeit lesser quality pics, as I used a webcam: http://oi40.tinypic.com/a0kot3.jpg I don't know it looks like that as my hair is straight and blonde. But either way, I don't like it and dunno if it's a problem or just 'the way my hair is'. My hairline is a V shape, and I'm not a fan of it but there's no thinning. Family members say it's the same - I don't know if they're just saying that, but either way, V shape with no thinning is mature. I'm just worried about overall diffuse thinning. I took a couple pics a week or two ago of the bath after I'd had one. These are the hairs in the bath. I've had to higher up the contrast so you can see them. http://i39.tinypic.com/14mc3z4.jpg So yeah. Replies would be great cos I'm confused at the moment. And I hate this hair cut.

Whoaaaaaa. They're from 2011. And using a name I don't associate myself with any more. Wow. Didn't realise I'd been on here that long. Anyway, there's newer pictures since then: hair Photos by jonnykino | Photobucket http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/june%202012/hairiirrr.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/june%202012/hairrrr2.jpg And nope, am not on any meds at all. Don't want to be on them unless I need to be. But anyway; For Future_HT_Doc: She commented on my hair just after I'd woken up, so, this morning I took some pics to show you where she said I was 'losing it at the back of my head'. I told her it was the way I'd been lying - it always happens - but she wouldn't have it. http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/hair%20december%202012/DSCF3709.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/hair%20december%202012/DSCF3708.jpg And then here's my hairline. All the pics there are variations of flash and no flash. And am wearing a pink hair band. It's not mine, I found it in the bathroom, ha. http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/hair%20december%202012/DSCF3707.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/hair%20december%202012/DSCF3705.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/hair%20december%202012/DSCF3695.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/hair%20december%202012/DSCF3699.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/hair%20december%202012/DSCF3692.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/hair%20december%202012/DSCF3697.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/hair%20december%202012/DSCF3691.jpg The thing is, my hairline hasn't changed in 4 (2008) years. I even have a pic to show the shape - as best as possible, I didn't take pics of my hairline then; http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/june%202012/me2.jpg Yeah, she's 20, as are her mates. I'm 22. She apologised afterwards when I told her it bothered me, and she said it was just a joke, but even still, she randomly picked up on it and that's what bothers me. I don't really want go down the whole insulting her to be honest. She thought it was just a joke - I didn't. Anyway, there's some pics, I don't think/hope there's still no change with my hair from the 2008 but yeah. There's the pics as requested. Thanks for all you replies as well, I do appreciated it.

Okay, I can post recent pictures, will need to take them though. I didn't think I'd need to since I've posted loads in previous threads and I don't think there is any change, but I will once I have new ones.

Not gonna post pics unless asked, cuz I've posted enough. Anyway, today my girlfriend said I have a receding hairline, and also said am losing it on the side. I told her am not as there's no thinning. She then said it to her friend who agreed with her. I told her again that I'm not, and even resorted to showing her the Norwood scale. She accepted that, but later on with some mates, she mentioned it to them and they all started analysing my hairline and said I was. A guy who was out, who is receding said I was as well, and now am absolutely paranoid that my hairline is receding. What can I do to make them realise am not?? Pics I've posted, you all say am not, but now am worried again.

Hey all. Sorry for the long response, been bogged down with work. So yeah, apparently she said it because, when am under bright lights and my hair is wet, you can see scalp on top, and because my scalp is red. I mean, I've noticed it too when I get out the shower in specific lighting conditions, but I figured it was normal. Now I've been told that, I keep thinking diffuse thinning, but am not sure whether the fact you can see scalp when hair is wet under certain lights means it's that? Thanks for the replies everyone, I appreciate it a lot.

Hey there. Haven't posted in a while, haven't needed to because I've been pretty happy with my hair. Accepted the fact I have a mature hairline - no thinning, just a more concave, 'V' shaped hairline. That's cool, I'm 22. I've also posted about my crown, and was told I shouldn't worry, that that's fine also. I just have a parting, light hair, and a red scalp. No thinning or loss. Fine with me. I've been to doctors, derms, you name it, and they've said my hair is fine. So anyway, my hair has gotten fairly longer than I usually wear it, and I was speaking to some friends about whether I should just leave it to grow long... not hippy style, just longer than usual. They said I needed it cut, because the sides are thick and my fringe is quite long. Then my friends girlfriend said "get it cut because you're going a bit 'baldy'. Well that's MESSED ME UP GOOD STYLE, and I've started the whole taking pictures of my hair again. SO! As I said, I feel my hairline is fine: So that's not the reason my mates girlfriend said it to me.... but she wouldn't have seen my crown, as I'm taller than her. But that doesn't look 'baldy', does it? HMMMM. It's bugging me, because after all my time posting on forums and going to docs, derms etc, and it's been established there isn't a problem with my hair, this girl says this to me. What do you guy's reckon? Muchas gracias.

Sorry for the bump and double post, didn't really want to start a new topic, but I still have questions and don't really know who or where to ask. Sorry if am bugging anyone. Anyway, my hair is naturally straight. A few times when applying wax - well, putty to be technical - I've seen one or two thing, wavy hairs. Does miniaturisation change hair texture, or these hairs I see something different?

I thought as much. This doesn't explain why am seeing short, thick dark brown hairs, then. Thanks.

@TommyLucchese Here's a picture, the only picture I have that shows off my hairline as best as possible. This is from when I went abroad in 2008, so I was 18 when the picture was taken. @savehair I've noticed white hairs, but they're wavy and almost synthetic looking. My girlfriend looked at one and said it looked more like something synthetic, or even dog hair.. I have a shih-tzu. I dunno whether they could just be from lying on my pillow or something, *shrug*. Everyone says my hair looks, and feels the same density all over, but then there's me noticing stuff, like these hairs, and the shape of my hairline.

Yeah. The thing is, I don't know, because I don't know what am looking for. You apparently lose 100-150 hairs a day to make way for new hair growth, right? If that's the case, I'm in that range, but then I see hairs that are darker than my own hair but short and very thick. Then I see some that appear thinner, but I can't tell because my hair is blonde. I also see then coming from the back of my hair and sides. Doesn't make sense. I've been 'monitoring' my hair for nearly two years now, and there's been NO change whatsoever. I'm not even just saying that because am in denial, either. There's cached images around the net of my hair, because I deleted my old PhotoBucket account, but my hair is the same. I've even posted pics of my hair from when I was 18 which shows my hairline as being the same shape as it is now. Close ups that I've posted on this forum as well, showing off macro's of my hairline prove that my hair is fine. My on top/around the crown where I have a parting also show no change. I just have an inflamed scalp. I just see these hairs on my hands of different shapes/sizes/colours. Don't get it.

Hey, Thanks for your replies, but I was wondering whether I could get some info on miniaturisation as well, if possible? I know I've posted countless pictures, and my hair hasn't changed from those pictures, but I still can't work out the difference between miniaturisation , and then new hair growth/normal shedding. I look at my hairline, I see vellus looking hair just in front of my hairline, but don't know whether that's 'just supposed to be there'. You can probably see them on my older pics, but am confused about them. Am also confused about the hairs on my hand in the shower/when I apply wax, because they appear to be different sizes and thickness, but they can also come from the back and sides of my hair also. Don't really understand the process, so info would be great! Thanks.

I'm a little confused on how miniaturisation works. I have straight blonde hair, that is non-balding. I hope. Typical to blonde hair, my hair is fine, but there is a lot of it so it appears to be thick. I get the impression that my hairline is around the Norwood 1.5 area, as there is no thinning, but it angles slightly into a slight 'V' shape. I'm 22 years old. I have an irritated scalp, and my GP has prescribed me a few different medications to attempt to remedy the scalp issue. I've been given Cocois scalp ointment, generic Nizoral; ketopine, and I myself have tried Polytar. As of yet, nothing has worked, and I find myself scratching my head and finding scab-like flakes towards the crown and back of my head. Since I'm scratching a lot, I see hairs falling. I also see hairs on my hands when shampooing, and when applying hair product. I see maybe 5-10 when showering, 5-10 when applying product, and maybe 4-6 when I scratch my head, though this isn't each time. It might be the first time I scratch, but afterwards throughout the day it might only be a couple. I know you can lose up to 150 hairs a day, but am wondering whether this seems like an excessive amount? Anyway, onto my miniaturisation question. Recently, I've started examining the hairs I find and seeing if any appear thinner than normal. Occasionally I find white, wavy hair strands that are very thin, but I don't know whether these are synthetic, or even dog hairs (from my Shih-Tzu) as my hair isn't wavy at all. I also can find short, thick dark hairs, which again don't fit into my hair texture/colour. Do these sound like miniaturising hairs? My hair doesn't appear to be thinning or anything, but these hairs I am seeing are making me concerned. Again. Sorry for such a long question. I posted this on BaldingBlog as well, which is why it probably sounds so formal. I webcam-med some pics of my hair, these are from about two weeks ago. Not really looking for a 'review' of the pics... just an update I guess. My scalp has been a lot itchier recently, and feels like it's burning sometimes. I do not like the look of my hairline though, I feel it's shape is too much of a 'V', but I think I'm looking for perfection i.e. a juvenile hairline. http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/june%202012/hairiirrr.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/jonnykino/june%202012/hairrrr2.jpg Thanks.

haha! please don't punch any babies. At the moment, when I'm out and about, I don't worry about my hair. When am home and am able to see it, such as in bathroom lights etc, and I see some scalp, it sparks off the worry. I mean, if I had a consistent "yes you could have MPB" or "no, you don't need to worry about MPB/you have no thinning/loss" etc. then I suppose that would be better instead of getting a mix of replies. At least I'd know whether to look into getting treatment or not.

Bah. When I posted the first album, I also sent it off to BaldingBlog for their opinion, and I got this. Only just noticed it. I’m Concerned About How My Hair Parts - Balding Blog According to whoever wrote that, I style my hair to cover the 'suggestion of thinning', whatever that means. I just brush my hair over, I don't do anything intentional. And I also have 'possible' hair loss in the first picture, according to him. I'm getting sick of this, it just eats into my life. I've been the doctors to try and get a referral to the dermatologist, but my GP says there's nothing wrong with my hair. Anyway, yeah. Getting a bit annoyed now. Dunno what to believe. I appreciate you guy's putting up with me and replying to me, it is helpful. Thanks
