I see how it might be a bit confusing, it just direction of light. It's very harsh light going against my hair direction + my hair being like one inch long. I think first picture best shows my loss (wet, longer hair).
This is when my hair is dry w/o super harsh light, but I do have light right over my head in this picture as well. I showed different pictures sadly do not have those anymore, also I video chatted with Dr.Diep when I had longer hair and showed him my frontal loss in detail (5 month growth at that time, most of a time I buzz it off due to not wanting to hide my thinning spots right now). I talked to him few months back. I'm currently reassessing my hair.
