Hey guys. I've noticed that I've started to recede a bit at the temples, and my hairline looks exactly like my uncles at my age (20), and he still has a good amount of hair in his 50s but definitely more receded. My dad still has all his hair but a completely different pattern then me, and my maternal grandfather went bald but had a different hair type and a different pattern altogether. Thanks.

Yes, this is possible in the sense that MPB is genetic. That's not to say that you will definitely inherit it, but it can be a good indicator of where you're heading. It's also a myth that hair loss only comes from the grandfather on your mother's side of the family... There's no evidence to support that and it's more of a wive's tail than anything else.

Hello, yes anything is possibly when it comes to genes. My father's Uncle balded very aggressively when he was just 21 and was a NW6 soon afterwards. My dad followed his pattern at about the age of 26, although his own father did not bald until much later on in life. Then there's me, I didn't start losing hair until I was 33, and I'm a diffuse thinner so I don't even follow the traditional Norwood scale. Don't forget you've probably got some of your mum's genes mixed in there as well.Comment
