I think I was about 17 or 18 when I started to notice my temples receding, but I held on to the majority of it for a fairly long time- I'm 38 now.

What has your regime been over the years ? What age did you start treatment ?

Indeed, how the heck did you manage to keep your hair for 20 years after first noticing recession?

mid teens my temples started.
i seem to hit a big burst then it stops for a few years, then bursts again.

it was obvious it was going to happen though even as a kid. And even as a kid you could see my brother would have his forever.

I was 14 when I first noticed huge shedding and there was a significant recession before my 15th birthday.

I actually didn't do anything up until a few years ago. I started taking finasteride when I was 36 (because I noticed some minor thinning in the crown) and my hair has gotten worse since.

It was funny to see the few guys who would make comments about my hair line lose more hair than I did over the years. I don't think there is any way that you can tell whether or not you will progress quickly, when I started to recede I had nightmares about being a Norwood 7, so I guess I should be thankful for how much I still have.
