Hi all,
Yesterday I was watching a Dutch television programme were a man was interviewed who had written a book about baldness.
He started to talk about the Dutch soccer player Wesley Sneijder who had started balding at a very young age and recently had undergone an hair transplant.
He mentioned that Wesley had very agressive hairloss and that was probably due to the fact that he might have baldness running trough both sides of his families.
That sounded a little weird in my mind. I thought it is only a matter of from who you will get your genes from... I mean it can't be possible that male pattern baldness on two sides of your fam makes you bald earlier and faster right?
Of course you will have a much bigger chance of getting male pattern baldness but am I right that it has no effect on the tempo of the hairloss?
For an example:
One of my best friends is 22 and went from a Norwood 1 to a Norwood 3 in about 3 years. On both sides of his family I can only detect ONE person with male pattern baldness and that is his dad.
For myself I'm 21 years and I am having no signs (yet) of male pattern baldness till this day but male pattern baldness runs on both sides of my fam. My dad started at 21, his brother 27 en my mum's dad at 30. The only non-bald guy you can say is my dad's dad.
Anyone?
