Had my hair cut shorter, a bit worried.

[jonnykino]

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:

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:

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.

So yeah. Replies would be great cos I'm confused at the moment. And I hate this hair cut.

In the webcam pics your looks absolutely fine. Your hairline is solid and dense as all hell, and the V shape you describe is actually quite subtle. For a mature hairline it has pretty shallow temple recession. Also in the webcam pics your crown/vertex looks fine, that's just your natural whorl.

 

However, going off the shorter haircut pics, I'd keep an eye on the crown to midscalp. It's not bad by any means, and could be from the dampness and lighting. Personally I think the cut looks good in the top right pic. You said your scalp is inflamed right? It could be non-mpb related hairloss. But if it is the start of vertex based mpb, the good news is minoxidil/propecia rocks that area like a champ. So you could try one or both. See a derm or hair doc though to put your mind at ease, or to get something concrete.

 

TL;DR: Calm yo tits.

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.

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.

It's ok,there is no much difference before and after,actually.

I don't think there is anything to worry about yet, you have heaps of hair. I would go see a doctor if you are concerned about the redness but otherwise I wouldn't worry

Dude. Your hair is a dream. Live the dream. If you really feel as though you're in your crown, get on finaseride and minoxidil. But seriously. Your hair is awesome!!
