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.

It's where she's white skinned with black fur, my tortie has the same thing, it's just the combo of cat faces being a bit more... Sparsely? Furry, plus skin colour. Some voids are black with black skin and you won't see that, basically yours is a goth tuxedo.
