I was wondering, could a otherwise healthy individual just have naturally low hair density on certain part of their scalp , or is it always a sign/degree of early balding? If it is balding, how long will it take before it became apparent? I have heard cases where people noticed thinning in their early 20s but still have the same amount hair for more than a decade, is something like this normal and common place?
