I've been a bit worried about my hair lately. I shaved my head around three months ago, and while most of my hair seems to have grown back normally, the crown of my head appears less dense. After shaving, I started using onion juice, and I noticed that when my hair is wet, you can see my scalp under the light. I recently trimmed my hair to about 1.5 inches, and now it looks denser. Before shaving, my hair seemed normal and didn't have any bald spots, plus using Fortene anti-dandruff shampoo helped with my dandruff issues. Could this be early signs of baldness, or am I overthinking it?
