Paternal side = 4 men, all are NW6 / NW7 (My father is Norwood 5V) :(
Maternal Side = 2 men, all are NW7 :(

I have some chance of not losing your hair ? I heard that baldness can skip generations

The mother's side/skip a generations theories don't seem to have much truth to them as far as I can see. I wouldn't get your hopes up too high. Sorry. :(

If I was a betting man I'd put all my money on you going bald. Every male member in my family is bald or balding, I am balding and my younger brother is balding. The odds do not look good.

I think the skipping generations thing is rare, but it seems to have happened in my family. My great grandfather was bald, my grandfather wasn't, my uncle is bald, his kids aren't.
As far as the OP, my suggestion is to get on finasteride as soon as you notice any thinning or recession. You probably will experience some kind of hairloss, but there are ways to prevent it from advancing quickly.

Looks like its practicly a certainty. (Pray you're adopted). :innocent:

Look, I have 2 cousins that the paternal side is 32 / 35 years and has no sign of baldness, I still have some hope of not being bald :hump:

My maternal grandfather is a NW2 and his sons (my uncles) are NW7
