Is Thinner Hair in the Crown Normal?
I’m a 29-year-old male with an extremely thick head of hair…may not sound like a problem but I’ve noticed that it is somewhat (not much, but noticeable to the feel) thinner in the crown area. I still have full coverage however, but I’m just wondering if this is something to keep an eye on or if it is natural of most people’s heads and nothing to worry about.
Some people develop crown thinning leading to crown hair loss (which is what I had). Get your scalp mapped out for miniaturization to determine if you have genetic thinning of the crown and if you do, drugs like Propecia (in its early stages) can completely reverse the process and maintain a reversal for years and years in some people.
