A member asked:

Is it normal that i can see my scalp a little on my crown line? and should i be taking biotin so my thinking hair can grow on top again where my scalp wont show as much?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps due to genes: Our hair thickness and volume are inherited traits. If people in your family have similar hairlines its appearance could be a genetic cause. However if you notice significant hair loss I would advice to consult a dermatologist to check nutritional deficiencies among other causes.
