Could be male pattern baldness, could be traction alopecia.

Ruff9012,

 

While braided and tightly pulled back hair can cause a type of balding known as traction alopecia, it looks like a typical case of male pattern baldness to me. Since genetic hair loss is progressive, it will most likely continue to thin with time. Medical treatments such as Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) are clinically proven to slow down, stop, and even reverse some of the effects of male pattern baldness. If your thinning hair bothers you and you want to proactively attempt to stop it from getting worse, you may want to speak to a physician about these hair loss drugsand consider using them.

 

Best wishes,
