Nope, I've noticed it too.  Loads of young fellas here with receding hairlines. I wonder if that's why the current shaved head trend is in?

Blokes your age Mid 30's yes a slight withdrawal of the hair line is acceptable

But Sorry to say this LV 19 - 22 year old are going Bald

I'm rolling on 39, yes I have a bit of thinning going on but still have a good Hair line

At work it's quite funny like I said I'm in my late 30's ans the other older Tech is in his mid 50's yes a lot of gery hair  ;D  but both still full hair lines

The two others are early 20's and they are in a race to see whos fringe can get to the back of their neck first  :2funny:

I can't say I have noticed this, maybe it's a regional phenomenon.

In the 80s I spent lots of time in Yorkshire. What is true is that Yorkshire has vastly more prematurely-bald men than anywhere in the south of England.

I put this down to a higher prevalence of blond men (Viking colonisation?) although perhaps it was just down to the flat caps chaffing.  ;D

Yep, I meant when I was 21, there were blokes of my age going bald, and I See lad in their 20s going the same way, wee a my old man is 61 and virtual full head of hair, just isn't fair. I heard something about the chemicals from the female contraceptive pill being in the water supply, don't know if there's any truth in that. If it was true surely it would effect every guy.

Maybe you drank more water than most.


As my dad was bald and all his brothers were bald, my mum's dad was bald from his 20s and my dad's dad was thinning when he died (aged 41); I think I'm doing pretty bloody well to hang onto 90% of my hair at my advanced age.

When it gets to 25% gone its time for those #2 setting clippers.

LOL  ;D

Thing is all my male relatives have a full head of hair, I'm the only one who doesn't, I'm on 0 setting on the clippers.

Yes we'd all be going bald if that was that case

More like the hair products that are being used just clash with the male hormones ?

I started losing hair thickness, rather than receding when I was in my 20s, but it seems to have stayed at that level and not really got worse.

I put it down to 8 years of black hair dye.  ::)

As an aside, I've read that if men reach 65 with a full head of hair it usually means they've got an excess female chromosone and are XXY rather than XY.  Ronald Reagan was an example of this, apparently.

Mu mum used to say that about the products, but I've been usuing various tonnes of the stuff for years (including various bad 80s perms  ;D) and I've still got more hair than is necessary (on my head that is - lol!  >:D).  I still get lines of new growth as well.  That's why I straighten it, else it goes 'bushy'  :(

Maybe it's a man thing?  My dad started losing his hair when he was 22.  I can remember him having an embarrassing 'comb over' and spraying it flat with Cossack Hairspray.  It used to lift in the wind!  ;D

I don't dye my hair now, you West Midlands wally!  ;D

I did from the age of 18 to 26 to fit in with my 'everything black' Goth look.

I used Boots Sure N'Simple.  It left lovely purple streaks down your face if you weren't careful.  :cheesy:
