Naturally Thin hair or balding?

Question

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?

To find the cause for your hair loss and also find if it is normal, you need  to see a hair restoration specialist and be examined from close up.

I am not sure if you are male or female. You should be examined by a doctor to get a diagnosis. You can do this via the internet, but need to send photos and give more history. Recommendations can not be made until that happens.
