My hair looks a lot thinner on the side when I take a picture with the flash on. When I take a picture under natural light, it seems usually thick. Does this mean my hair is thinning or not? Aged 17

Answer: Hair loss and lighting All hair looks thinner under flash lighting. You are correct that patients often first become aware of hair thinning when they see themselves in different lighting conditions. However it doesn't necessarily mean hair loss. I always advise individuals who think they are loosing hair to take a photo and then see a hair specialist (in that order). Your photos will be a helpful guide over time as to what might be happening to your hair - if in fact there is anything.
