Hello good people of this board,

Before I ask the question, let me tell a bit about myself first. I am currently 23 years old and my hair has noticeably thinned on top and crown area. I am currently not using any treatment. But something I noticed is that as of late, my hair doesn't fall off as much as it used to, heck, perhaps only 10-20 at most when I'm washing my hair. Compared to about 2 years ago when there are tons of hair on my pillow and everywhere on my room (there is virtually none now).

So my question is, based on that story, could I conclude that my male pattern baldness is currently on "pause"?

I heard somewhere that the progress of male pattern baldness vary wildly. In one case, you might steadily lose hair over time. In another case, you might lose significant amount of hair overnight, retain the rest for years, and suddenly lose another significant amount.

So yeah, my question is, could you conclude the progress of your male pattern baldness from the amount of hair shed?

Thank you very much, in advance!

It does vary person to person. My hairline receeded to about NW1 mid twenties. From about 28-31 it went back further to to about NW1.5-2.
Since around September 2016 (Age 32) l have now reached the NW2 (or slightly over) mark with thinning alot of gradual thinning of the hairline and also thinning at the crown. Im back on the right track now, but yes it does vary from person to person and seems to stop and start for me. I did notice that stress has a big effect on it for me too. I had one of the most stressful points of my life mid last year which went on for about 6 months so I attribute that to it speeding it up too.

That's fascinating to hear. Did you notice the difference in the amount of hair shed during "stop" and "start" period, or did you just notice it when inspecting your hair on mirror?

I cant say I used to monitor my shedding. I only really took note when I saw my hairline thinning and decided to do something last year. It didnt bother me in my 20s as most of my mates were also reaching a mature hairline.
