How bad is my recession?

[rainbowman1995]

I have been noticing some hair in the shower lately. I'm 21, male. My dad is completely bald but no history of hairloss on my mother's side. My materal grandfather has a head full of hair. How bad is my recession?

Your recession is very minimal. Not even a 2 on the Norwood scale. Although genetics is a lottery and men rarely experience the exact same rate of hairloss as any family member, it might be worth asking your dad questions regarding what age his hairloss began and how quickly it advanced.
