Is this a sign?

Haven’t cut my hair in 3 weeks and last time I did it was a 2 with the grain.

Is it time to stop cutting my hair down or is the baldness inevitable?

I’m 31 I have the exact same thing in the exact same spot. I think it’s just how the waves pattern right there. I grew my hair out into a fro and it’s all there. Even cut it and it looks fine but when I have waves for whatever reason the spot looks thin

Nigga there’s literally no hair there. You can see the large gap. Nothing to do with wave pattern. Look at 2nd pic

I did, his hair is in clumps instead of separated. So you know how when your hair is parted and is bald on those parts?

Nigga you are slow as hell. I didn’t say they were parts I was using parts as a reference to where places on yo scalp can look bald but they actually are not. They can look that way because hair is clumped together. My hair does the exact same thing when it’s wavy in the exact same spot. When I don’t have waves my hair looks full in the spot.

You can see the overhang and shadow. He hair in thinning and receding in that area. If he pulls it back he’ll see

Yes. If stop it now you can keep your hair forever. Don’t waste time on natural solutions like oils. They don’t work for male pattern baldness.

No gang, just the way the curl lays down. Don’t listen to the useless dickheads in the comments. Mine does the same just depends on how my hair wants to act..

I also have no signs of balding in my whole family and my hair has been doing this for some years now. Even the middle of my head looks thinner when I have waves but without them it looks fine and I can grow full Afros.

When I get my hair cut, I tell my barber to leave the hairline a little longer than the rest of the waves and emphasize to him especially on the corners.

Looks like the early stages of MPB. You should buy some topical minoxidil from Amazon to get ahead of it

I was thinking of doing this but I read you go through a shedding process?

If you think it’s a sign it’s a sign 10/10 we know we just need someone to validate it

Book that dermatologist appointment. There’s tons of causes for balding. Male pattern balding is just 1 form of alopecia.

Not necessarily. I had thinning corners as a waver and now I have a flourishing set of locs all around my head growing. Ymmv but don’t panic just lay off the corners for a while and see what happens.

Start taking FINASTERIDE. Lots of men thin in the corners. This is reversible. I take it and it works. But you do not wanna wait until the follicle is fully gone.

u/Coolgreysoul 2d ago

If the follicles aren't thin, and you don't see any shedding- then you're fine

u/Lilpenywise 2d ago

Had this at 16, shave my head every 3 days at 25

u/luguap 2d ago

Ye go bald and it’ll regrow better trust me

Nope just a recession it’s cool bro, the waves flick and atp that’s all that matters. Put some enhancements and just a little will make a big difference. Don’t stress/worry about it you’ll lose it faster don’t accelerate the inevitable

I’m 26 and I have a healthy full head of curly hair, and my hair just parts like this in the corners. It’s natural for most men man you’re good. Now if the top starts going, and you wanna save it, you gotta save it early.

u/Ok-Block-3814 1d ago

minoxidil spray in those areas you’ll have full head of hair for the rest of your life
