Same but my hair is already graying.

My dad's was fully gray before he was 40.

Baldness is rife on my dad's side but not so much on my mom's (although it's still a problem). The hair around my temples rapidly began receding around 19 forcing me to sadly lose my Bieber-cut. However, my maternal grandfather had similar balding at that age but relatively minor losses from that point on, so I'm staying hopeful.

That's ok, you guys will just be deficient in other areas. Like, you'll probably get cancer. So it all works out in the end.

I have prematurely gray hair. My hair is still mostly brown but I have a lot of gray hair at age 42. On the plus side an old Italian barber once told me that prematurely gray men usually hold only their hair because the gray hair is stronger than colored hair. I have no idea if that's true but I do have a nice full head of hair.

I have lot of thick hair, but my dad started losing his maybe around 40ish or so, which is still not too bad. He's 60 now and still has hair, though not that much.

My hair color has changed though, it's a darker red now, when I was a kid it was a brighter red.

I always feel sorry for bald guys. I always think of them as eunuchs. Chicks just don't go for bald guys.

Genetic balding is one thing.

Stress related balding is another.

Someone that is not predisposed to balding can still go bald.

I hated/hate going bald. Very depressing and I can't believe there's no cure yet!

Meh, gray hair doesn't bother me at all. Thankfully though I don't have any yet (knock on wood). Baldness, on the other hand, I'd have to kill myself.

When the kid was about 4, I'm getting him up in the morning, he pats my "forehead" and says, "A lot of skin there, Daddy."

Cheeky bastard.

My hair's thinning. I don't care one way or the other. It's just hair.

Possibly. The gene is carried by the female but yeah, if all 4 great grandpas were full and thick, you'll likely be OK.

You bald? If it makes you feel better there are some downsides to having a full head of hair.. Haircuts? Ok I lied.lol
It's fantastic and women dig it.
