Needle curling?

Hello everybody! I have a question that I can't find the answer to anywhere. I have a young cactus and the needles are curling at the end. I'm not sure if I'm over watering, under watering, or worse. If anybody is familiar with this is love to hear from you. Thank you!

Hi there :)

Many species of cacti have naturally hooked needles. I wouldn't worry about it as long as you aren't seeing any signs of rot and your cacti is looking plump and green!

You have a barrel cactus needles curl like fish hooks.
