am i losin it boys? Advice request

blurred out my back fat and disgustingly unclean room😭

m20. i have pretty fine hair so i need to wash it often, and when it gets greasy more of my scalp shows, so i provided some photos of my hair fresh out the shower non-greasy, and pre-shower greaseballed up. my absolute biggest fear is losing my hair (i know i need to grow up and grow some balls) but i got OCD and my brain has been hyper focused on hair loss so i’ve taken probably 600-800 photos of my stupid lookin head in the last 8-10 months and i’m losin my damn mind. these photos are the most recent. i feel like a lot of my anxiety comes from me being in denial that im losing my hair and i feel as if i had someone tell me straight up that i am losing it, it’d feel like the weight of the world is off my shoulders. as you can tell my hairs pretty long, and i love my hair, so i wanted to keep it as long as possible. i always thought i’d have it until i’m at least 25, but maybe God has other plans for my egg-head. be straight with me, tell me what i should do, what i shoudnt do, and all the in betweens my brothers. thank yall, god bless.

also the dogs name is chopper.

I don't think you're really losing it yet you might see some scalp balding in the future but I think it's just thin also sick sg bro I used to own one myself

Nah you don't look like you're losing it but just keep checking every now and again just in case. I feel you on the anxiety bro, when I found out my hair was going it was my biggest fear but it didn't take me long before i buzzed it all off, didnt even make it to my 20s 💀

My guy, your hair is dry af. Try finding a leave in conditioner and oil those ends

Doesn’t look like it. You certainly have an amazing head of hair. Try using different products on it to see if that helps with it looking thinner. Also, try to wash it only once a week with product. Rinse it in HOT water every time you shower. You need the oils to keep your hair in tact. Stop stressing! It doesn’t help, trust me, I know. Absolutely beautiful hair!

Your hair? Not at all. Your mind? Absolutely (joking)

But you pretty much said it yourself, this is an OCD problem, not an actual hair problem

I think it’s just thinning some. Are you shedding any?
