Senior Member Britanium Posted September 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 4, 2021 As I mentioned on your last post, if your worried see a Dermatologist they can examine your hair and give you advice. But also keep pics, we don’t know if it’s always been like this. The conditions your taking pics in would show up anybody’s crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no need to worry, it’s all looking perfectly fine. You now have pics to monitor for any changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Berba11 Posted September 5, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted September 5, 2021 Doesn't look like there's anything wrong with your crown to be honest, but without earlier photos for comparison, it's hard to say for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCaps Posted September 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2021 No issues. You are dealing with the whirl and contrast. Get a piece of paper and draw a dot. Now draw a cross so that it intersects the point. Well, that's exactly what happens in the whirl area. The hair grows away from the point. So. if you were to put the pencil right on the dot and start drawing lines away from the point, how many lines would it take to fill the paper? TONS. Hair in the front and mid section grow forward at an angle and thus there is shingling - which helps to provide coverage. Because of this concept, everyone shares a whirl, the weakest point on the scalp. You have dark hair and light scalp. This contrast makes it seem worse than what it really is. If it bothers you look into SMP or just use a camouflaging agent like Toppik. Patient Consultant for Dr. Arocha at Arocha Hair Restoration.
