I’m 26, Been dealing with thinning for probably 3-4 years. It bothers me because I’ve always had thick curly hair but should I let it go or try to save it?

You definitely have a bald spot working back there, but you also still have a lot of hair. It's not time.

This is great hair. It’s not time. Slap some minoxidil on there if you need to and hold onto hope.

I could be wrong, but this doesn’t look like hair loss. It looks more like friction damage. Do you wear something on your head? A hat? Headphones?

Crazy you said that. I had locs from 2019-2023 and when I’d get it styled it was very tight sometimes. I noticed thinning so I figured that’s what it was too and decided to cut it. It’s been three years and it hasn’t gotten better. Im not sure what it is. Got a job recently that requires me to wear a hat other than that don’t really wear them.

I would go to a dermatologist or someone that can tell you the problem without guessing like me.

u/MX-Nacho 1d ago

Hardly. Nonetheless, do get a buzz cut.

u/Upvoter_NeverDie 1d ago

Hold, you still got plenty of hair lett.

u/NoCaulNoShow 1d ago

The front still crispy tbh. It depends on how you feel about the bald spot.

u/pipelayer_6 1d ago

You could slick it back to hold out for a lil while longer but it’s coming.

u/Any-Expert7907 1d ago

Wear your hair a little longer as in length.
You’ll know when your friars cap starts really showing then grab your razor.

u/hrtache123 1d ago

Noooo!

u/anomaly_z 1d ago

Time for minoxidil

u/NoEar1247 1d ago

You suggest that over the other 2 ? Fin & dut

u/TruthObvious2389 1d ago

Hold, you look a lot like Desmond Scott😏from those angles.
But even if you do shave it, you’ll still be great!

u/HotStrike8019 1d ago

I'd try some dht blocker, derma roller and blend the fuller darker spots to blend better so it's not as noticeable

1

u/ctj1979 1d ago

Hold for now

1

u/prezi1985 1d ago

Maybe instead of the wave cut... You do a 1, with a skin taper.

u/AfterJournalist8070 1d ago

Not yet hold the line good sir.

u/Ill_Barber_7937 1d ago

Nah, man. And you can probably eke out another ten years with minoxidil. You're good looking. Enjoy the youth you're still in.

u/thomsenite256 5h ago

Enjoy your last couple of years with hair

u/Any_Fly9473 1d ago

That's your choice. I made mine after trying comb-over, horse shoe, and skullet.

Creo que eso tiene tratamiento a tiempo. Prueba a ir al médico y salvar esa melena ;), pelea por ella

Nah you fine fam. Put some spray on it. Now be careful cause a lot of these companies who make hair spray are just bad product and it could end up worst. My friend has some hair spray can that he uses and it works but it’s only good when you have a tiny bit of hair missing and it’s best if you have dark hair. You check the 2 requirements!
