Default Am I Balding Or Due To Excess Straightening?

[Plaks]

I am 23 years of age, never had any issues with receding hairline or thinning or what not but as of late i have taken more notice the TOP of my hairline is thinning, im quite a hypochondriac and think i may be balding.

 

I think important things to note is i do not take care of my hair, i straighten it full heat sometimes 2-3 times a day, use many products on it and leave in there, could the 2-3x straightening be causing the "breakage" and "thinning" or am i going bald? no real balding in my family except one of my mums brothers, the other has a full head.

 

here are photos.

Am i in denial and balding or should i cut my hair straight to a 1.5" and regrow and lay off straightening it so frequently.

Full heat straightening doesn't sound good for your hair. Hmm how's your lifestyle like??

Am I the only one who can't see these pictures?

You are balding so aggressively you broke the website. I jest, they're not loading.

Heat straightening never contributed to my hair loss, and I was stuck in a similar routine for many years. However, such a process can cause your hair to get dry and break. And that won't help the overall look of your hair. I am very familiar with the results of continual heat exposure and over-handling.
