Comparison between hair at the temples and hair in the middle

Just a question, I was wonder if it's normal for your hair around the temple areaa (the 2 sides) to be thinner than the ones in the middle. Or does that only happen to people who are going throught balding? Thanks.

 

Yes, it is always thinner. The hair in front is also thinner than the one behind too. That's why you can usually spot many HT, the hair on the temples and in the front is like wire. Very unnatural.

zgmf-

 

I feel compelled to jump in here.

First of all, although I did look at your photos, I would be very wary of forming the conclusion that you are experiencing ANY early or premature balding issues, based on that evidence alone.

Please take a step back and, if you are really concerned, see a Hair Restoration MD in person so that the assessment can be made in the proper matter. The above posts, as always, are well intentioned and sincere, but in all fairness the diagnosis is best made in person. (Something we all cannot do here, so we all offer our best advice despite that limitation.)

Hope that helps.
