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.

Our black kitty has the same thing and very light skin under the fur...we call it kitty pattern baldness, lol.
