How bad is my crown?

[Hair4Dummys]

Is my crown currently bad enough where I should be looking to get SMP? Obviously a hair transplant would be insane for this right? Thanks!

Most of us would kill to have this amount of density. That's just a typical whorl.

Absolutely normal, I wouldnt even try and touch it.

You’re crown looks exceptional. Don’t even consider surgery for it. That’s your natural cowlick or whorl.

Exactly what everyone else has stated. Great head of hair if anything else. 👌

@Hair4Dummys,

To be completely honest with you, don’t do anything to your crown. If you’re concerned that you are losing hair, you might wanna consider getting on finasteride or minoxidil which is quite good at helping to slow down, stop or even reverse the effects of Male Patteto be completely honest with you, don’t do anything to your crown. If you’re concerned that you are losing hair, you might wanna consider getting on finasteride or minoxidil which is quite good at helping to slow down, stop or even reverse the effects of Male Pattern Baldness especially in the early stages.  to be honest, I’m not even convinced that you’re experiencing hair loss. What I’m saying looks like a potential cowlick and not hair loss.

so here’s what I would do if I were you. I would schedule a consultation with a dermatologist and explain that you would like them to evaluate your scalp to see if you are experiencing any signs of miniaturization/hair loss a.k.a. androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness.  If they claim to see signs of miniaturization, start on either finasteride or minoxidil or preferably both and apply the topical minoxidil to the thinning areas.

That said, you are absolutely NOT a candidate for scalp micropigmentation (SMP) nor hair transplant surgery at this time.

Best wishes,

My head used to be just like yours, that isn’t a whorl it’s a thinning/bald spot and it will get larger over time. Look at how my crown looks 5 years later

Did you not get on finasteride? I've been on fin for a year now and its stayed the same.

From all these comments sounds like SMP is obviously not the decision. However, since we are on the topic does SMP cause shock loss or what not? I always wondered that

Thanks for the comments guys to ease my concern although that one dude does mention its thinning but I am on Fin and its stayed the same since i started. Do you guys think I should be using hair fibers or is it really not that bad yet to be using them?

No need for them imo. I doubt anyone will even have a look on that. Just live your life knowing that you are doing exactly what one should when losing hair and forget about it.
