Crown bothers me & colleagues have commented on it

[Marty1990]

Made a post a few months ago but a couple of comments from colleagues have made me bothered (again), about my crown. For reference, started checking my hair when I was 19 after a comment about the crown & having a “bald spot”. I’m 32 now. Haven’t taken any medication, hair seems the same - however two colleagues recently have commented on my crown or, as they like to call it, my bald spot.

First 8 pics are from either the past week or the end of last year.

9th & 10th & 11th pic from 2011 or so. Last one 2016. I was told on a hair forum years ago I had a centre parting coming from my crown & that’s the part that’s bothering me. I don’t know if there’s a change or if it’s just the fact the camera is now better on my phone so picks things up more. 

First pic is taken in natural outdoor light & seems fine, the rest indoor artificial light. 

 

 

To me the parting seems to not want to have hair brushed over as easy now, but I don’t know if it’s the way I style my hair or something.

Any advice would be great. I bought fin last year as a precaution but never took it. Can you see a change or should I ignore the comments?

Your colleagues are assholes, that is straight up body shaming. F*ck their opinion. Youcan use Finasteride or Minoxidil and your crown will probably thicken. Your hair looks awesome.

Don’t listen to your colleagues, to be honest it just shows how shallow they are considering your hair loss is minimal.

Thanks both. So you’d say there was minimal loss & it’s not just my crown? I assumed it was the latter since it’s mostly the same from 13 years ago but if there is change I’ll jump on fin. 

Re colleagues comments, I’ll ignore.

Hey man try using some Fibers that should sort this out. Your crown looks amazing do not listen into those shallow comments people like to have a laugh at others expense.

You don’t need to change your hair. You need to change listening to your colleagues. You could start Finasteride and/or minoxidil if it gives you peace of mind. All the best.

Have you tried hitting the gym and getting some tattoos to intimidate your colleague back 😉

Haha no I haven’t. Thing is whether it’s just a passing joke comment or something, it’s bothered me. Even asked on Reddit & got “no it’s a cowlick” to “yes you’ve been balding for 12 years”.

 Maybe I’ll join a gym & take fin.

Was actually two women who said it as well & it triggered me. Thanks though. Still umming and aahing about whether to give fin ago but reluctant if there’s not much change, if any, in 12 years.

Your crown looks better than someone who had a crown hair transplant.  Wait another year or two, and then decide.  You are totally fine

Thanks much appreciated. I’ll hold off taking meds. Always had a weird hair whorl and it’s always bothered me & the comments didn’t help. Thanks for your reply.
