I have noticed I have thin hair recently. I always used to get short hair cuts, so the fact that my scalp was kinda visible was normal to me.
4 weeks ago, I got my last haircut. It was kinda short. Then I noticed when combing my hair that the barber did an awful job on the top. I needed a trim on the back.
So my uncle a 60 year former barber takes a razor and tells me he'll fix it. And he did, that was about 2 weeks ago. I didn't notice anything, so now I take a mirror to look at the back of my head and I found this.
Now Im scared, I'm waiting for my hair to fully grow up before doing anything (haircut, doctor, etc). I don't know if my barber made a patch on the back of my head, or if my uncle did it (i asked and he doesnt remember) OR if im just getting bald. I'm brushing my hair a lot, and washing my head each 1-2 days.
I'm 23 years old. My dad is not bald, neither is my grandfather. I haven't noticed any loss of hair (finding hair on my bed, while brushing my hair, etc)
Am I just being paranoic? In that pic my hair looks kinda short as you can notice, so maybe it was just a mistake by the barber or my uncle? I can't confirm it. Maybe it'll grow back, and i'll remember this and laugh.
My uncle says I just have thin hair and that it has nothing to do with baldness. I just need to stop getting short hair cuts. But he's not an expert.
Any opinions?
Thanks in advance.
