Hello,
I am 21 and I am really feared by alopecia because of my father's side. Indeed, let me introduce my father's side :
- My great-grandfather was bald (I don't know how and when he began, but he was bald according to my father)
- My grandfather began to bald early. I don't know when, but he was something like NW2a/NW3 at age 25. He died with NW6-7.
- My dad began to bald at 18 with massive shed. At my age he had almost reached the NW2a. He is NW5a at 52.
- His brother is bald but he went bald lately. At age 30, I remember he was ok but now
Frightening isn't it ?
On my mother's side, they went bald but lately. My grandfather began around age 50. I don't remember my first uncle (unfortunately he died at 40... but at 30 he was ok) and the second one is something like 35-38 now and is not balding.
So that is my situation. I "don't care" (it would be not a disaster for me) to bald at 30, but I am 21...
I have attached pics (on black is my juvenile hairline but I think I have overestimated it, judging by the position of the corners on the pic of juvenile hairline) :
I have this widow peak since I was born and it has not moved. But you can see the pattern hidden by some hairs on the 2 temples (1 cm/0.4 inch deep compared to my juvenile hairline : I know it because I can see a white patch).
Is this a mature hairline of balding ?
Thanks for replying.
