My dad has a small bald spot, so I have always worried about going bald. None of my extended family but my dad has it.  I have longish hair right now, the bangs cover my eyes when its wet and the back goes halfway down my neck. My hair grows quickly, so to keep it at this length I get it cut every month and a half. I usually overanalyze things like this, so I need some other opinions.

When I brush out my hair the brush has 4 or 5 individual hairs in it by the end. I have what I hope isn't a bald spot, but depending on how I brush it, the line goes either vertically from back to front, or horizontally from side to side. My hairline looks around the same.

I'm just really paranoid over these sort of things. I'm wondering if its normal to find a couple hairs when I brush or 1 or two whe I put gel in  my hair.

Here are pics:

Is your maternal grandfather bald? If not, you probably won't be.

Neither of them were.

We all get bald. It's natural.
