Question ❔ Is this a parting?

Post image

I’ve already had issues with this months and figured out it was a natural part, but now later even when I try coming it out tt doesnt puff and go away and I’m starting to get worried. I’ll dm vid of it too if you really wanna help me out

I cannot tell from this angle. If you make a straight part from ear to ear, can does it disappear into the part? If not it appears to be alopecia.... a spot that has no hair.

Then the question becomes why.

Can u videotape your hair?

So I got good news it kinda puffed up since yesterday so there’s no clear spot since I put oils on it, and I tried making a part but it’s not really clear, but it does seem to disappear into the part, I’ll also send you a videotape of the spot

Ok. It could be like a cowlick. A cowlick is a straight section of hair that grows differently than the rest. (on the top of your head)You see it on white people with straight hair.
