Ironic that my Dad and grandfather were bald by mid Twenties. All else in working order.

The classic male-pattern baldness gene is passed down through the female chromosome, so you need to look at your mum's dad to see if you're likely to have it.

My maternal grandfather is still going strong at 95 with a head of hair reminiscent of Leslie Nielsen.     

I'm 43 and going grey, not much thinning going on ......   So here's hoping

43 and receding gradually since time immemorial with a bit of manly thinning up top. Standard grade 2 self-administered head shave for me. I only have a problem with it when photographed under bright stage lighting, because then I look like the old man emoji.

Fifty in May. Full head of thick, greying hair

58 in March with short back and polish.   Started losing mine when I was in my twenties.. thanks to my Dad's genes. Neither my twin or younger brother suffer from male pattern baldness, but my twin suffers from such severe alopecia that he shaves his head.. so we're sort of even.  I remember the shock of seeing the whole effect for the first time when I once used a lift where all the walls were mirrored. Youch!

I have hair down to my arse too. Unfortunately it's all on my back. 

WTF is it with nature? My hair started falling out in my late twenties, then what was left started going grey in my early 30s. Meanwhile my back, shoulders and ears have slowly started filling up with black hair. Doh.

32 and it looks like I'll only have the sides in a couple of years........ I've NOT got the face for it so I'll look pretty bad, there's no two ways about it.

Pretty much my predicament. I'm going to look like a cunt if I like it or not.

If I go for the big shave, I'll look like an egg with a beard. Fuck that.

If it really bothers you both have a look at hair systems. Much more to them than a traditional syrup.

Did you see Karl Pilkington get one fitted?

61. Slight thinning at the back but otherwise a full head of hair. Was jet black but now mostly grey. 

Dopesick

34. I gave in and started going full 0.5 a couple of years back. It started going in my early twenties.

I wet shave every week now. I do miss the long hair but ah what ya gonna do. Less time in the shower anyway which is nice in the morning. Thankfully my hair is still black as the ace of spades.

Its all good, our daily banter usually revolves around it, and each others mums! 

FX_Munkee

45 full head (and beard) of very grey hair, that's gradually turning white. My Dad has a full head of completely white hair as did his Dad before him.
Considering growing it again and going for the "full Gandalf".

Don't go total bald, shave it a couple of mm. It'll look much better than having it longer on the sides

54 and so thin I razor it every 3 days. Both Grandad's were bald, my Dad's nearly bald and so is my eldest son.

Yeah you're probably right. I just don't have the bollocks to do it. It's actually really affecting my mood these days.
