Is your hair wet? And can you take some from further away please? We need a better perspective.

It is normal to have a cowlick there. But if you have early and aggressive MPB running in your family then you may have cause for concern.

By the way, lifestyle can influence hairloss, but not in a huge way. Fitness is great for it from what I hear, but then things like weights training maybe not so much. If anything, diet would be the biggest contributor to hair loss outside of family history.

how can weight lifting BY ITSELF cause hair loss?

I said mildly influence, and it can do that because it raises test levels. But again, that is not ever going to be a big problem.

I would hazard diet being the main influence behind genetics, based on the increase in MPB in Japan due to an influx of Western diet

is your hair wet? It doesn't seem that bad, it might look bad because your skin is very light and you have dark black hair which makes it easier to see your scalp.

The only person with MPB in my family is my grandfather on my mother's side, he started noticing hair loss when he was 18. But I also have 8 uncles on my mother's side and they all have thick full hair.

No, I think my hair just looks wet because of how oily it is. But when my hair does get wet, it becomes extremely easy to see my scalp on the top of my head and on the crown of my head. Does that mean anything?

All it takes is one person in your family. There was no baldness on my moms side and my fathers father had full head of hair, but my dad is bald. I thought I had a good chance of not going bald, but I was wrong. The funny thing is I started to lose mine around the same age as my dad. He was 35, and I am 36. Luckily for me I didn't procrastinate like most people do and got on propecia the same week I noticed the first sign of thinning. My hair has thicken up again after 5 1/2 months with no side effects. You can't tell I lost any hair, and I don't have to spend thousands of dollars on a HT to fix my hair line. I know your young, but I would look into propecia. The longer you wait the more hair you'll lose, and propecia may stop our hair loss, but it may not grow back what you have lost.
