Hair comparison a year on (no treatment as not sure there’s MBP)

[Marty1990]

Hello, hope everyone is well. A year ago I posted the following and asked whether there was any thinning around my crown area. I had mixed replies; posted older pics too and some people said there was no change, others said to jump on finasteride. I haven’t done the latter, and just wanted to post some more pics for clarity.
 

Here is the original thread;

 

Anyway I’ve been motioning my crown area mostly, occasionally my hairline for the past year (I have posted a couple of threads in between my last June 2022 thread) and just want to see if there was any change or is it just an obvious crown / parting and me having a red scalp and light hair. 

These are yesterday (first pic fresh from shower, second I’ve brushed my hair into the parting thing)

Then these are a range from 2011 - 2023 with comparisons

 

The “seems thinner here?” picture is from when I was 20. The one next to it on the left is 2010.

A lot of pictures I know, but I wanted to give a comprehensive update from my 2022 thread, wanting to see if there’s been any change in a year or whether this is just how my hair grows. 

I don’t feel as though there’s any thinning at my crown, but it’s the parting thing or whatever it is that has always bothered me. 

For reference I’m 33.

Thanks

It looks the same as 10 years ago, so either you don't have hair loss or it's very slow.

Your hair when looked at over more than a decade is looking great! No hair transplant could ever give you this density. As I mentioned in your previous post last year, finasteride and minoxidil are two options that you could consider now (I'm not a doctor), if this really worries you. I personally wouldn't go down the SMP path. You can always just add a dash of fibres. All the best!

you dont have mpb or maybe even if you have you will end up very low norwood grade. at 33 you are have such great density. your crown is only thing which can confirm it in next few years. ( that is only thing slightly worrying but its only minutely changed in 10 years)

you can apply topical minoxidil in crown area. You probably dont need FIN for now.  Check with a dermatologist and he can confirm you regarding mpb and also about meds. . and maybe also get a ketocanazole shampoo (nizoral brand if available near you or any other also works) . That is more than enough for you.

even if you ever plan to take fin then just take topical version which comes with minoxidil and apply on that crown area.
