What age do you think your hair loss pattern is established?

[DoctorHouse]

I am curious to what age do you think your final hair loss pattern is established? I don't think this can be determined too accurately as hair loss can happen at any age. I thought it was around 35 but I think it might be 50 now. Please share your thoughts. I have read some cases on here where a guy just starting losing his hair in his 40's and becomes a NW5 or 6 by the time he is in his 60's. I know this is rare but I guess it can happen. In these cases, it may possible they were losing it in their mid 30's but no one noticed it until their 40's. I think Travolta and Mel Gibson may be examples of this. Any one know how old they were when you noticed hair loss in them? That is why I think around 50 might be the right age. I think I read some place at around 50 and above your hair loss really slows down.

Travolta is an interesting case, I've looked at tons of photos of him and I can say with certainty he didn't show any noticeable signs of baling until 40. Still a lucky guy though to have perfect hair for so long.

Such a simple question but I'm stumped. 40's??

Monty, what was your dad's Norwood in his 30's, 40's and 50's? Was he a NW3 in his 30's, a NW4 in his 40's, a NW5 in his 50's and now a NW6 at 60?

Middle teens? I notice it when I was 17..

I guess it varies per person. I think NW6's/7's usually know their fate in their 20's but many guys go from NW2-3 in their 30's 40's and 50's. I think if you've held up well NW1/2 by the time you hit late 40's you're probably home free.
