Hi,
Im a 25 year old male and Im confused about a development in my hair over the past few years. Four years ago I had thick (like a bush) hair all over my head. Now my hair seems to be thinner all over (almost as if I lost density on the whole top of my scalp at once). My hair line, however, is and has been stable since I was in high school.Am I losing hair/going bald or is this just my hair “maturing” ?
Thanks
You are within the period that hairline maturation occurs. Some of your frontal hair loss might be associated either with the maturing hairline (the frontal 1/3rd inch) or possibly genetic balding (which would be behind the frontal 2/3rds inch). Since you are experiencing generalized thinning (mostly behind the leading frontal hairline), you may have some components of male pattern hair loss with miniaturization, suggesting some ill defined early ‘patterned’ loss. In order to confirm your diagnosis, you need to be examined and get your hair mapped out for miniaturization to help define the diagnosis of your current condition and it can be used to predict where you are heading in terms of eventual hair loss.
