18 and a NW2, will this progress? Will I be bald in my 20s, despite family history?
I'm 18 years old and a solid NW2.
I have thinning on the right side of my hairline. Lots of tiny, thin hairs.
On the left side, it's still receded, but not as much as the right. There are also less thin hairs.
I don't mind staying a NW2, it doesn't look weird. No one but me has ever noticed this, and when I bring it up, they all say it's either a high or maturing hairline. I just hope this doesn't keep progressing.
A little bit of family history:
Mothers side:
Thick hair, but all the men progress to a NW2 in their early 20s/late teens, and stay there, pretty much indefinitely. No further balding for any of them.
Father's side:
Thinner hair, began thinning on top at 40. He said that at my age, his hair resembled mine (in terms of the hairline and texture). However, he stayed at a NW2 until his early 40s.
NO ONE in my entire family progresses PAST a NW2 anywhere before 30.
I'm 18 and like I said, a NW2, with an uneven hairline.
Could I actually progress to a NW3 and beyond at this young age? Despite the fact that no one in all my extended family has before 30?
Or will I just follow either my fathers pattern (begin seriously thinning around 40) or my mothers side (remain at NW2)?
Please help.
Thank you.
