Thinning Runways an Indicator of Further Baldness?

Hello,

Thanks very much for answering my previous question. I thought of another question that I can’t find the answer to in previous posts. I know from your posts that recession at the temples and some recession in the frontal hairline is the sign of a “mature” hairline and will not necessarily lead to genetic baldness. Is slight thinning in the “runways” along the sides of the head or on the crown always an indicator of further baldness to come, or can thinning happen in these places as part of a normal mature hair pattern, without leading to further baldness?

Thinning in the runways or anywhere in the crown usually reflects miniaturized hairs. This is often the precursor for balding. Sorry if you don’t like that answer. Few do!
