Baldness Calculator?

Hello!

I am 19 years old (going to be 20 in september).

I have a noticable receding hairline and I have now for 6-8 months or so. I am terrified of going bald!

I used a baldness calculator and it said I would be bald by my late 20’s. How reliable are these calculators?

I don’t know of any publically available, reliable baldness calculator yet. The best way to determine what your final pattern of hair loss will be is to have your hair mapped out for miniaturization and see what areas are being impacted. In a young man, maybe only the frontal area is starting to bald and as you get older, the balding may progress more towards the back. Miniaturization studies will show that progression and if you start treating it with Propecia, you might find out that the problem will arrest or possibly reverse for a while. See a competent doctor and get your hair mapped as I’ve suggested.

As an aside, we have developed and submitted U.S. Patent applications for a type of baldness calculator. We are working on building it now, but it will take some time to get the right design and we will not manufacture it until we are satisfied with the iterations we work out.
