Body Hair and Balding

[briant]

I'm 18 and started losing my hair about 2 years ago. As my hairline started receding my neck hair grew further and further down until it nearly covers my shoulders and upper back at this point. This isn't your typical body hair either, Its dark, straight, thick and corse, unlike the hair on the rest of my body. In general I've gained more and more body hair as I lost more hair on my head. I'm very interested in the connection between body hair and baldness, especially since I've heard men who have been on finasteride for a while experience a decrease in body hair. Any thoughts or research on the topic is appreciated. thanks!
