hair loss slows down with age...

I was reading the balding blog and thought that this was interesting:

"Hair loss slows down with age and will often stop way short of the final balding process. Norwood Class 7 patients are only present in 7% of the adult male population and it is doubtful that Bill Murray will ever get that bald. Most Class 7 patients have this pattern before the age of 30."

For me, having a Norwood 5 or a Norwood 7 wouldnt make much of a difference.....

there really isn't much cosmetic difference. And imo an NW7 actually looks cleaner than an NW5. IF you're gonna buzz your head or shave it it probably looks better as NW7 than NW5. NW3-4 you still have something to frame your face.

Some members in the forum have already experienced this, they first noticed a rather aggresive male pattern baldness hit, such as thinning in the vertex, receeded hairline, but after a while, they hair maintains at that stage for a long while. My cousin has thinned on the top and his hair has maintained the same for 7-8 yrs without any treatments so far.

You all seem to be missing the point. If the reason for this slowdown/halting with age can be identified then perhaps it can be induced in younger people.

This is not true.

My hairloss has been rapid now for the last year and hairloss over the previous 15 yrs or so has been hardly any.

You just cannot generlise in this hairloss game. Its like saying meds work for everyone and they don't.

As a generalisation it may or may not be true. In my case a small bald patch started at about 40 years of age, hardly enlarged over the next 12 years and then grew rapidly the next year. Also, rapid receding from the front started at the same time. I'm not bothered how my hair progresses - I read the forum since my son (21) started 'treatments' about 9 months ago and his younger brother's hair is now starting to 'disappear'.
