    My hair is that thin too, if not even thinner looking I think you're okay.

    Your hair looks like it's in its natural state. It's not thick hair, but I definitely don't think it's thinning. Thinning hair has a different look to it, especially at the top, around the center part.

    Yours looks normal, not patchy or uneven around the part. So I think you're ok too

    P.S. I'm speaking from personal experience!

    It does look kind of thin, but it would only be thinning if it didn't used to show so much scalp. My hair is the same way and it would freak me out sometimes because I was convinced my hair was thinning, but no...it's just that thin. I tend to be wary of anything that has tight parts because I show too much scalp, and it's very noticeable against my dark hair.

    You know, you are probably like me and just overly paranoid!! I keep looking at my hairline at the front and thinking it's really thin...but then again it could just be normal and I wouldn't have a clue!! I also get really paranoid about stuff and worry worry worry over it even though it's probably nothing at all.

    Your hair looks very much like mine from all those different angles. And you know how much hair I have.

    Unless your hair looked noticeably different a few weeks/months ago, I wouldn't worry.

    Mine actually looks a lot like that too. I think we're okay, at least I hope so . I agree with everyone saying to keep track of it. Either way, you look pretty

    Do you have a "before" picture from when you were not COing or from before you noticed this thinning problem?

    I'm asking because everyone's hair is different and I don't want to be commenting out of context so it will be nice to see what you had before at least we will have a yardstick to go by

    my hair looks a bit like that when scraped back and I obsess too I think we fine haired ladies just have to realise thats what longer fine hair looks like!! when hair is shorter in a bob and blow dried etc it looks more full and thick (personal experience) but in reality when longer and air dried etc it looks more fine and the scalp seems more visible when its pulled back, but to be honest I bet it has always been like that and you just haven't been thinking about it in the past. Too much conditioner can weigh down fine hair though it does with mine maybe try just conditioning on the ends.

    It looks just like my scalp!
    I can't tell if it's thinning or not. With me, it's been like that my whole life, I think. I think if it is thinning, there should be a difference! Was it different first, fuller?

    It looks very much like my hair/scalp too, and I've been obsessing for years that it's thinning.
