To TynanW.....
Yes, I do have a full head of hair right now - but let me tell you two things.
Firstly, I have rather fine hair to begin with , plus an oily scalp (I never had thick badass hair like some of you guys had before hairloss) and I would get plenty of comments from various stupid people at an age like 16 that I'm "going to go bald early" or even better, that I've already started to go bald. Even from those ****ards whose father and both grandfathers are bald i.e. who will almost 100% go bald sooner or later. I know that I should'nt be so bitter, but one guy, whose 19 right now (1.5 years elder to me) WAS (note the past tense) particularly enthusiastic in making fun of my supposed hairloss. He would tell me "ha, ha, you're going to be a cueball by the time you're thirty" . This was a matter of a little over a year ago. And now his temples are ****ed (one of them is a NW2, the other is atleast a NW2.5, so this is no mature hairline) and quite a bit of thinning on top, as well as worse thinning at the crown(his scalp is clearly visible in patches around the crown whorl in normal lighting). All this in a 19 year old. Three guesses as to whose going to be a cueball by 30.
OK, enough of bitterness there. Secondly, there is some significant male pattern baldness on my mother's side of the family, and I will not be sure that I'm not following that pattern until 30. And it is not some slight recession or thinning, it is quite bald (NW6). So my aim is to basically prevent hairloss before it has even started to be noticeable to me (and I know my hair so well, that if I start balding, I'll pretty much know the exact day when it starts.)
BTW, how old are you, Tynan and when did you start balding?
Cheers, and best of luck,
Arjun
