So I posted a couple of months ago but after a recent hair cut, I’m so confused about the parting coming from my crown and whether it’s changed / thinned a little. The reason I ask this is because it seems difficult to brush my hair in such a way to hide the parting.
These are the most recent;
These above are from the past week, I’ve drawn an arrow showing the area that bothers me. I do seem to have had the parting for a while, so perhaps it’s just the way my hair is - but at the same time I’m bothered it’s thinned.
This is today;
This is May 2020;
Not much change, and these are from 2011 - 2018;
Again not much change, but I used to be able to brush my hair to completely hide the parting area but I just can’t seem to do it now. Below shows how I could brush it;
Using mirrors to check it seems generally fine, but if I take a pic under direct light or fluorescent light the parting is visible no matter how I brush it.
I do also wonder if my barber is cutting the top of my hair shorter thus making it more obvious but I don’t know.
Reason I’m asking (again) is because I’m heavily debating finasteride, but also reluctant in case it’s just my hair and I’m taking the medication without needing it. Also considering a derm to check my hair as I have seborrheic dermatitis and wondering if they could check my hair too.
I also tested Toppik and hid the parting completely, but I’m 90% sure if I had done the same ten years ago it would be the same today.
