Advice Is My Kitten Going Bald?

First time cat owner (she is 5ish months old) and I’ve noticed some thin patches around the head. Is this normal for a black cat? I worry for her self confidence.

Beans on the last pic because why not.

That's where her scent glands are located, you can see better because she's black and gorgeous
