Arnold Schwarzenegger's hairline and dht question.

[abcdefg]

See though science isnt like english. in science there are rules and they dont change. newtons law of gravity doesnt change from one case to the next. I also dont think some people just lose hair and some people just dont. The reason is we just dont have a clue yet in terms of science because its so complex, but there is a reason. It could be 10 100 or 1000 years from now or never but a process maybe infinitely complex with thousands of interactions between different organs, molecular pathways, or genetic switches combined with envirnment causes that hairloss. Its not magic something does it. its not just something that happens to everyone as they age or NO ONE would have the same thickness of hair when they are 60 as they were at 20.
Ill concede the fact that at 80 or 90 people do lose some hair no matter what but if we went through every picture of every person on earth to ever live we might find an exception even to that which would even prove that wrong. Lack of understanding why doesnt mean it always just happens to everyone .
In much the way throughout history our understanding of earth changed as we developed technology that allowed us to better understand the world around us, the same is true of piecing together complex diseases.

So what is your point you are trying to make CCS, oops I mean abcdefg? :innocent:

My whole point is 1 person in existence that has every hair they were born with means every other person that is missing hair is missing it due to some process science doesnt yet understand but in theory it could be stopped completely maybe at the gene level or however low we need to go.

I wholeheartedly disagree with people who attribute this to aging. Something like 85% of guys have male pattern baldness signs by age 70. 75% of guys by age 60, 40% of guys by age 35, etc. Arnold does have male pattern baldness. It may never get worse than its current state, but it's definitely not a part of the normal aging process. I too know gentlemen his age who have heads of hair like this:

Governor of WV. 60 years old, doesn't look like he's lost a single hair on his head. No male pattern baldness. Arnold has male pattern baldness. Like I said, it may never get worse or it may only recede another half an inch, but he clearly has male pattern baldness. You can't say that it's a mature hairline because his hairline has changed between age 25 and now.

Age-related thinning my butt:

I see what you mean, but BTW Conan wore a wig. Its just genetics like its possible to find some guys in their 70's who have no grey hair whilst some guys in their early 20's do. Both are highly unusual but thats just how the broad range of genetic characteristics work.
Ps how sad is that to see Arnie as a saggy old guy?

To be honest Jayman, you really can't see Arnold's hairline in that photo as Conan so you really can't tell. You need a photo of him with the same hairstyle to really see for sure. Since most men reach their mature hairline by early to late 20's try to find a picture of him around then with the same hairstyle and then compare. I think he might have a very mild case of male pattern baldness mixed more with senile alopecia.

I hate it when people compare their hairlines to guys like this, how many guys have such a low forehead (not low hairline) I'm talking about his forehead. Its less than 2" from his eyebrows to his hairline and thats the size/shape of his skull not his hair that makes it look like that. All my life I've had a bigger forehead than that. Does that mean I had a mature hairline as a kid? No its just how my skull is but so many times you see guys on here moaning that they have a receeded or mature hairline or they want a hair transplant this low.

 

[DoctorHouse]

Good point s.a.f. How is your latest post op hair transplant experience so far?

 

[phish]

hair that low looks completely restarted, reminds me of sum ape.
