So I'm 19yo and just wondering if there's some way to calculate your chances for balding? What would my chances be?
My father is bald. He was maybe NW2 when he was 30yo, NW3 40yo and then the rest went pretty quick, because now in his early 50s he's NW6. His both brothers have no hair loss and his father is about NW2 as an 80yo. My mother's father is bald too and had about the same pattern as my father, but my mother's brother hasn't have hair loss. The classic idea is that your mother's father would give you an idea, but at the other hand if I'd heritage the gene from my mom, why would she have it, if her brother didn't. I think this is kinda interesting, because it would be fun to know some sort of a percentage. I would hope that I won't go completely bald, but I think I wouldn't mind if I'm not like my uncles and would be like a NW3 in my 50s. One more thing I wanna say is that I wouldn't want to use any pills. Let's say that I'd be worried over my hair loss when I'm 30yo. Then I'd spend money and effort to keep my hair by eating those pills. Then in my mid 40s I would be like no more pills and then I would instantly go from like a NW2 to NW4 or 5. That would suck way more than losing hair over time.
