Armenian,

Welcome to our community.

Androgenetic Alopecia (hereditary hair loss) is the most common type of hair loss.

Though many men suffering from genetic hair loss lose hair in a pattern similar to the norwood scale (male pattern baldness), some men lose hair in a pattern according to the ludwig scale (female pattern baldness).

It is however, possible that you are not losing hair at all. The pictures are unclear. Is it possible that this is just a normal "part" in your hair?

To determine more accurately if you are losing hair and for what reason, it may be beneficial to consult with a dermatologist or a hair restoration specialist.

If it is determined that you are suffering from male pattern baldness, FDA approved hair loss medications such as Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxodil) is your best line of defense against future hair loss. It might even help you regrow hair. A nice adjunct hair loss treatment might be Nizoral or Revita shampoo which contains active ingredient Ketoconazole which may be a weak inhibitor of dihydrotestosterone or DHT (the hormone responsible for genetic hair loss).

I hope this helps get you started.
