When I Use Hair Gel, I Can See My Scalp!

Hey there, I’m 28 years old. When i put gel in my hair I can see my scalp. It looks completely normal when its dry. Am I balding? I never noticed this before

If you use hair gel or any hair styling products, it will be separating out sections of hair to expose the scalp. It’s the same concept as when your hair is wet. If you think you are balding, see a doctor. In simple terms, styling your hair a certain way can make your hair look full OR thin. Various lighting can also make your hair appear thinner.
