I'm 25, I have a 24 year old brother and a 27 year old brother. None of us have receding hair lines.

Older brother is a bit grey, i've got 4 or 5 grey hairs, but that's ok, look how hot Philip Schofield is.

I'm 18, and it appears to have started (or something's wrong). Think of how I feel!

I think a lot of it is psychological with me, as the more I check, the more it seems to have started. Paranoid, I guess.

Yea I know what you mean. I have it on both sides to contend with

No, they are a fond memory.

EffBee · 28 Mar 2009 at 09:30

No, my parents are in their mid '80s and don't look too different to the way they were then.

I'm a bit concerned about about the way I look compared to twenty years ago though.

Baldness can come from any side of the family. It's genetics nothing is for certain, all my family have blue eyes, I have green.

DiscoDave · 28 Mar 2009 at 09:58

There's a saying that baldness comes from your mothers father. My grandad on my mothers side had a full head of hair, I started to bald at 18 and it's a common thing with my dad's side of the family.

Not true I'm afraid. It doesn't skip a generation and you don't follow your grandfather on your mothers side either.

If your dad is bald, you will be a domehead too

How bad is it? If it is just some recession then it is normal. 95% of men will get a receding hair line, I guess the other 5% are all in Hollywood

I have read that it is like a 50% chance you will go bald if your mother's dad has it and another 50% chance if your dad has it.

But there are drugs you can take to slow / stop hair loss.

He is secretly wearing a wig. This is 100% true fact

Lol at the shampoo, I know the feeling

I am surprised that nobody here has suggested mustard as a cure yet?
