What can I expect with my hair as I get older?

Since I realized that my hair was getting thinner, I started paying more attention to other people’s hair. Much to my surprise, there are a lot of older folks whose hair receded and thinned, but they are not bald. This includes most of my family and gives me hope.  For example, if you look at my older (>60) relatives, they have pretty much hair, but when I compare their hair to mine, theirs are much more thinner and receded.

I reported a few years ago, a condition we called “Age Related Thinning” which defines the changes in the thickness of all of the scalp hair to become finer.  We see this clearly in many post menopausal women and in men.  In fact, my hair became significantly finer when I became 60.
