How many of you are going bald?

*CyberCubed* · 08-07-2013, 12:06 AM

I've been reading online about how more and more young people in their 20's are going through early balding. For some reason its a lot more common now for men to start losing their hair around the age of 21-28 than it used to be.

Since a lot of people on this forum are in their 20's, who here is going bald or having a receding hairline?

**Jester** · 08-07-2013, 12:21 AM

I'm greying...but not balding. Heck, my maternal grandpa still has a good head of hair. I'm safe...I'll just be prematurely grey, like my father.

*Slade* · 08-07-2013, 12:37 AM

I've had a receding hairline for years. I keep my hair short anyway, but my wife says she can already tell I am.

*cowabunga14* · 08-07-2013, 12:51 AM

I am, which kind of sucks because I'm still young and I blame my mom's genes. My parents are trying to look for some hair restoration formula or what have you that I can use before it gets any worse.

I started getting a few gray hairs right before I turned 30. I have my father's hair, and he still has a full head of luxuriously thick hair at age 66, so I don't expect my hair will thin either.

I still have a very thick head of brown hair and I'm not going gray. Tee-hee!

dkram230 · 08-07-2013, 08:06 AM

I'm 32 with a full head of dark brown hair. Was still passing as a high school kid up through my late 20's LOL. If genetics hold true, I've got about 15 years before I'll start to develop a very small bald spot on the left backside of my head that will very slowly grow, but won't have to worry about graying for another 30!

**Machias Banshee** · 08-07-2013, 06:01 PM

No hair loss here (I've got very thick hair), but it's turning pure white on the temples. Grandmother on my dad's side had snow white hair, so I think I'm taking after her.

I'll probably be pure white in the next 5-10 years...

*TheCanadiandrome* · 08-07-2013, 09:06 PM

me! oh pick me! it's complete crap but i guess it is what it is

*Redeemer* · 08-07-2013, 09:15 PM

I am but Im not sure wire, (Had head trauma, left scaring)
My brother is acutual bald and he is 26. So I think (mostly) Genes and stress/ head trauma have caused my thinning hair...But its growing back

so I have been told...

I was recently told that the lighter your hair as a little kid, the earlier you go gray. Not sure if it's true, but if so, I'm going to be all gray by 40!

**Jester** · 08-07-2013, 09:34 PM

I'm 29 and I have about the same amount of grey as my 51 year old mother.

My dad (who's 53) has been grey for as long as I remember.

psychturtle · 08-07-2013, 10:04 PM

Being in my late 20s I've obtained some gray hairs with some thinning of my hair from up top. No receding hairlines but definite thinning on top.

*Icebot* · 08-08-2013, 11:25 AM

I'm 32. I'm not losing hair and none of it turned gray yet.

LeoNerdo · 08-08-2013, 11:48 AM

No balding/gray here either. I don't think anyone in my family is bald now that I think of it. My mom's side of the family seems to turn gray fairly early in life though, 30s - 40s, so I may be on the lookout for that.

*BubblyShell22* · 08-08-2013, 06:04 PM

I've got grey hairs already, and I'm 30. Mom's been gray for as long as I can remember, and she told me that she started going gray around my age, so I know where I get it from.

My hair is black and I've got gray hairs even at the age of 34. It started when I was 26. That's why I wouldn't mind if I went bald. In fact, I always get my head shaved bald when I go to the barber. I don't have them shave my head completely, but just low enough.

I'm seriously considering one of those products that cover the gray in your hair.

I live by the old adage: "I don't care what color it turns, as long as it don't turn loose."

*CyberCubed* · 08-08-2013, 07:46 PM

I don't see the problem with gray hair either, when it happens to me I doubt I'll mind. Most people nowadays look good with gray hair.

We're not in 1940 anymore.

I am reminded of a birthday card showing a gray kitten on the cover, and on the inside it says, "See? The more gray hairs you have, the cuter you look."

Ironically enough, cats are often gray as kittens and the gray in their fur darkens as they reach adulthood.
