How Rare Is It To Bald In Your 20's?

[Pavi]

I mean I feel like there's a lot of dudes going bald in their 20's...

Not that rare. I would guess like 20%. Balding before your 20s is a different story. Not a great group to be a part of, trust me.

Mid 20's balding seems to be the norm in the UK.

Mid 20's balding seems to be the norm in the UK.

It seems to be 1 in 4 to me for 20's and maybe around 1 in 2 in 30s

I was at a wedding last week in which I was with 9 other males from my high school graduating class. We are all approx 28 years old

Of the 10 of us:
6 NW1-2 (I've weasled my way back into this category with medication)
3 NW2.5-3 (I would be in this category without medication)
1 NW4ish I'd say, with hairline around NW3 but blatant crown balding

If you include my medication dependent self, that's at least 5 dudes/half the group balding to some extent. I put the NW1's and 2's together because not everyone exposes their hairline so I can't give exact norwood ratings

So still half are (natural) fullheads (if I had to guess I'd say none of these guys are treating their hairloss, but I couldn't say for sure)

I started balding for real at 16. Heavy diffuse thinning. At 17, it's getting real bad
My father didn't notice anything before his 30's, and my maternal grandfather was fine except a little high hairline. Everyone else in my family have perfect hair. Sure I won the lottery. Yayy

I don't know, but to me it seems like people get bald earlier now than previous generations.

There are few guys with pristine hairlines in their twenties from my experience. If you deem anything less as hairloss than I'd say like 70%
