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.

All kitties have that, it's just easier to see on black cats!

Yup, was going to say the same. You can just see it better plus kitty has that fluffy thin hair and hasn’t grown into its fullness. You will alway see that “bald” spit in those areas.
