I know I'm likely OK just trying to confirm especially since the guy above seemed to be convinced I was balding.

Very bad. Both me and my sister have super thin/low density hair. Kinda strange since nobody else in my family does, even the people I knew that were balding. They all had thick hair. Oddly enough though my hair is pretty dark almost black, but its still thin (which usually you would expect the...

I did end up getting a 23andMe test and it said I had the lowest possible probability of balding before age 40 (I believe 81% of no hairloss for europeans which was the lowest you could get provided european ancestry) That being said, I did have a few balding genes as well but it seemed to be a...

What about now? Update pics I think my hair looks fine now but I'm not sure. Any signs of vertex thinning here? Attached multiple wet (after showering) and high intensity flashlighting pics along with oily hair ( in the 4th image my hair was very oily as well after working out/not showering in...

Mature hairline, pretty normal for 20something dudes

How are your grandparents/uncles? I'd say its possible if they are good. I'd personally rank it like this 1) Dad/Brothers 2) Maternal Grandfather 3) Maternal Uncles/ Great Uncles 3) Paternal Grandfather 4) Paternal Uncles/Great Uncles Though anecdotally pretty much everyone I know with a bald...

Ah yeah, fair enough

So am I going crazy? I feel like my hairline clearly looks lower at age 20 than at 15...

I was looking at some of my old pictures from when I was 15 and I'm so happy I didn't start freaking out back then or knew about balding because some of them look very suspicious. Specifically this one. I can see a lot of baby hairs/miniaturization happening at the hairline, oddly enough I never...

I have a similar issue. You just have fine low density hair (like me) and it can make your cowlick look worse like its thinning. I cut my hair short and it looked like I was balding hard in the crown region but went to a derm and they confirmed I wasn't balding there. It clearly isn't male pattern baldness if it...

how common would even some minor hairloss be for somebody in their early/mid/late 20s. I'm talking minor hairloss even, any hairloss Not just severe hairloss. In that instance I'd wager to say up to 50% have lost some hair even though it might not be noticeable but i'm not sure

Yeah mines really thin its always been like that though Probably doesn't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things

can you explain further what you mean that it doesn't always come from mother's side? Can I inherit the AR gene from my dad, although it would be unlikely? from what i've seen its always mothers side but thats what I'm curious about

Every barber I've been to has commented how my hair is extremely fine and very soft/silky, and it always has been. I've heard that people with extremely thin/fine hair pretty much always end up bald because there just wasn't much hair to begin with. I can't see how my hair would look that good...

Not true, it comes from both sides
