Thin hair for last few years & noticed a wide part, am I losing my hair? (Photos)

Question

Hi, I have a concern. I’ve generally had thin hair for the last few years, but recently I started letting my hair grow and noticed a wide part. My hair is salt and pepper but I’ve been dying it a darker shade. I’ve attached some pictures below in natural lighting and with flash. Can someone share some advice and possibly which specialist to see?

If you feel like your hair is thinning,it probably is.  There are a lot of conservative things you can do to prevent hair loss. The supplement Nutrafol Is excellent.  Platelet Rich plasma has been used to help with hair growth and prevent hair loss

Hello and thank you for your question. I understand your concern and I think its best you start with a visit to your primary physician. He/she can start with bloodwork tests and you can take it from there. Depending on the results, the next visit would be to a dermatologist. Best of luck to you.

Yes, this would represent hair loss. The cause would appear androgenetic but other issues must also be properly ruled out with a good history and good examination. Be sure to see a specialist who understands hair loss.
