What visual analysis involves

A useful analysis separates the front outline, both temple corners and crown rather than judging one selfie. It also keeps image quality and confidence visible.

Relatively even frontal outline. Simplified illustration—not a diagnostic image.
More pronounced temple corners. Simplified illustration—not a diagnostic image.
Asymmetric visible outline. Simplified illustration—not a diagnostic image.

Important limitations

Hair length, curl pattern, styling, wetness, image exposure and camera position can all change what is visible. A visual estimate is informational and cannot replace a scalp examination.
