I was watching Neil deGrasse Tyson on Joe Rogan, and he mentioned that it is common to start losing hair in your late 20s or early 30s. He also said that if you still have your hair at 30, you will probably keep it for life.
Just wondering if that is generally true. What was your experience?
I started losing mine in my mid 20s.
My hairline started receding in my mid-twenties. No surprise there because every man in my family has male-pattern baldness.
It did not hit me as hard as my brother, though. He had the full George Costanza look before 30.
My hairline started receding in my late 20s or early 30s, and it has been thinning ever since. My hair has always been a bit fine, but I had good density on my scalp. These days, the top front is thinning the most, so I have to spray a bit of sunblock up there to avoid getting burnt.
I am 45 now, and the rate of hair loss seems to have slowed down. My dad is 63 and quite thin on top, probably has about half the density I do.
At 25, when it started to recede, the first thing that came to mind was to shave it. I just did not want to worry that much about it.
Started thinning at 19, bald by 23. No complaints, really. Life’s better now than it ever was.
Happy for you, mate. Funny enough, I started attracting more women once I began shaving my head. Landed a better job too. Life’s been on the up since.
I first noticed a receding hairline at around 17, and it just became more noticeable over time. The thinning on top didn’t really kick in until I was about 25.
Started in my late teens. It was rough watching my hairline thin out, especially with one of my mates calling me “Forehead” when we used to hoop together.
In my mid-20s, I got a transplant to sort most of the hairline, but I’m still thinking about getting another one to cover the rest and my crown.
I was 28. Went on Propecia and haven’t lost any more since. been over a decade now.
I started losing hair in my early 20s. Thought it was just stress at first, but it stuck around.
it started thinning at 18 shave at 27
I lost mine at 23 haven’t lost any single strand of confidence.
Mine started to recede when I was 18 and I was fully bald by 25.
Wow, almost everyone here seems to have started losing their hair at a young age. Thought I was one of the few, but apparently not.
Yes, it’s quite a relief reading through this forum and realising I’m not the only one going through this. It’s actually helped me make the decision to shave my head.
I lost mine in my 30s and I’m 35 now.
Lost mine at 21. Always a bit surprised when I hear about others losing theirs early too it feels less rare now, I suppose.
It started at 26. I was worried at first, but I got in shape and, to be honest, I think I look better now.
Lost mine at the age of 29.
