I did not really notice it until my barber said something gently. Now every mirror and photo makes me check my hairline. Did anyone else have a moment like this?

My barber noticed before I did. He was kind about it, but I thought about that comment for weeks.

The confidence hit was worse than the thinning itself. I did not expect it to affect me that much.

After someone points it out, you start checking every mirror. That part was honestly exhausting for me.

It hurt at first, but I am glad he said something. It pushed me to take photos and figure out what was happening.
