A question about time... just for curiosity

Ok, let see---

If you see a friend, and you see some thinning or a bit of receding, and you say: "omg he is going bald, poor guy", but you know.... that friend go to some place for a year.... and the next year you see him again, and his hair is just the same...

what do you think? that he is not going bald?, forget for a second that you are a male pattern baldness guru, you are the average full head of hair guy that knows nothing about treatments or anything related to male pattern baldness.

I will think that the hair of that guy is just like that and he is not going bald.

It really depends on person to person.

Some people get NW2-3s in their early 20s and their hair never gets any worse. My dad is like that. He has had the exact same farked up hairline now than he did when he was 17.

My mum is the same way. She had receeding temples in her 20s. Its stayed reletively the same throughout all her life and shes about to hit 60.


Others..... it gets worse and worse and worse and bam.... no hair.
Still others...... it starts to get bad in the early 20s, totally stops, and then takes off again in mid/late 20s or early 30s.


there really isnt any way to be certain how your hair will turn out. Even if your grandfathers, father, cousins, etc. all went totally bald at x age, it doesnt mean that you will go totally bald at x age. The genes you inherit from your parents will have different ways of producing DHT as well as androgen receptors that could differ greater or less from other family members.

If you have balding reletives, there is a good chance that you will lose some amount of hair at some point in your life. It doesn't however mean that you will end up with their EXACT same time patterns/severity of balding that they had.
