Am I balding

hello,
I Have always had thin hair, not very thin that hairdressers have commented but yeah it’s thin. The other day I wanted to look at the back of my head to see how my hair was looking and gasped at seeing quite a bit of my scalp.
I have never noticed anything like clumps of hair or more hair loss than normal. My grandad died last month and I’ve been quite stressed but like I said I haven’t seen anything alarming. I dont have PCOS. I’m only 25 and feel quite upset about it. I remember when I was about 17/18 when I noticed my scalp was visible at the back but I don’t remember it looking like this. The pictures aren’t the best. I had a shower last night trying and tried a new hair mask (the garnier banana hair food) it’s made my hair look a bit damp still.
I have to go pharmacy soon so I will look into buying multi vitamins + iron and hair vitamins.
could you tell me what it could be?? Is there anything you suggest?? Please be kind I am struggling with a lot right now. I didn’t think my self esteem could get any lower. Thanks

I think it just needs brushing to be more evenly distributed. Mine looks a bit like that first thing in the morning but it is ok after combing.

It does look a bit crazy in the morning but honestly doesn’t look that much different after brushing and later on in the day 😔

Is it greasy? I have to wash my hair everyday. If you are feeling self-conscious about it, then maybe try one of those root cover ups. But honestly it doesn’t look that bad.
