My Hair Color is Different from My Dad’s — So Does That Mean I Won’t Bald Like Him?
Hi, I just had a quick question.
My dad started to bald somewhere between 18-19 and was nearly all the way bald by 20. My paternal grandfather is also bald. My mom’s side however has all of their hair, including my maternal grandfather. I’m 18 now and my hair color is much different than what my dad’s was at his age, his was auburn, mine is dark brown. It’s also still incredibly thick. I also seem to have the same soft hair as my mom but not fine hair or anything.
So my question is, will I go bald and if I do, will it start soon?
Thanks!
Hair color and balding are not linked. Just based on an email, I have no way to know if or when you’ll go bald. You’ll need to meet with a doctor for a miniaturization examination of your scalp, along with follow-ups over time to see if there is indeed any thinning.
this is awesome!
i never knew about these miniturization exams from the doctor! my dad and his dad were both bald, so ill have to go check..
is there a certain age where men will most likely go bald? Is there a safe age where if you’re not bald, then you are guaranteed a full head of hair for life?
Yup there is, it’s said if you haven’t suffered from MPB at age 30-40 it would not happend to you. At least incredibly slow process.
