Theory: Which ever relatives you look like gives you an idea of how you lose hair.

I cant say I have much evidence to support this theory except for a couple of observations.

One being a friend of mine who is the spitting image of his dad. They could be twins. They both lost their hair by age 25. In the same pattern and the amount.

My second would be the I look a lot like my maternal uncle. Hes 70 with a Norwood 2. We even have similar hair. I'm 30 with a full head. My grandfather, his father, died at 97 with a Norwood 4.

My father on the other hand, started losing his hair in his early 20s. He was a Norwood 5 by the time he was my age. I look nothing like him.

I'd like to hear what others think. Could my theory hold any water or is it merely coincidental?
