How old were you when start to notice your lair loss situation?

All my uncles on my father side stars to loss hair in their early age, say around 40's, noticeable.

I always knew that I will start to loss hair on a certain age, and hair seems get thinner. Only last year, when I was 36, and especially this year, I can see the dramatic reducing of hairline on my left side of temple.

For me, it's when I was 36, and I found this forum, I am still doing my research and getting familiar with with all information. I am thinking to take some action, maybe I get lucky! Although I know nothing worked for my uncles and my father.

What about you?

I was 16, though I couldn't equate it with baldness because I had no idea anyone that young could start losing hair. By 18 I knew for sure as a trichologist pulled a few hairs out and said 'male pattern baldness'. Just what every 18-year-old wants to hear when he's about to go to university.

20. noticed the front wasn't as thick as it was and then noticed thinning beginning all over the top.

Like TheGrayMan2001 I was 20. Looking at pics it's obvious I started thinning the year before.

I was 22 already a NW3 with NW4 thinning(which I first didn't notice). I did not link it with male pattern baldness I didn't even know what that was I just tought I always had a hairline like that and it will stay that way...

Alot of us starting losing in our teens, me personally 19 when i noticed slight temple recession. Now at 25 I'm NW3-4

Noticed at 19, started progressing at 17 or so Id say. Never had full temple hair even as a kid.

No age is a good age to start losing one's hair. However, the earlier you start losing it, the more impact and lasting psychological damage it can have on the individual. If you've reached your 30s and 40s without losing hair, your confidence levels are probably strong enough and your life mapped out enough for you to cope better if you start losing your hair thereafter. No one in their teens should have to contend with hairloss. Your sense of identity is not fully formed by then. If women balded at the rate and the early ages that men do there would be a greater awareness of and sympathy towards people who are losing their hair. Compare breast cancer with prostate cancer and the media attention both receive.

Hairforever, well said.

How come so many years after, and considering so many men are suffering the same problem, still there's no absolute cure. Considering how fast the technology has been developed in recently years, everything changes so fast, and still no for hair loss.

Noticed it at about 21-22, only cared to do anything about it at 28-29 when it really began to accelerate.
