SIXTEEN, I just turned sixteen I tell you. I'm not even that old to get a spouse yet.

This is bullshit. My father doesn't have it, my uncle doesn't have it, my grandfather did not have it, none of my relatives that I've met have had it, and I, being the only person having it? I'm not even that old yet. And I was lucky, because if it wasn't for my curiosity for discover more about widow's peaks I wouldn't have known this. I have never in my life met a bald kid and I'm going to be one. Whyyyyyy?

I don't like styling with wax. I've always thought they damage my hair. This is getting more and more worrying. Everytime I brush through my hair some will fall out, even as I type and my hand sweeps through my hair a few times, some strands fall off. I can see them when I wash my hair, and when I dry my head with a towel, and on the pillow, floor. They're everywhere! If I haven't missed a single strand since morning, and now it's already 6:14 pm, I can bet that the number of strands falling off has exceeded 50, nearing to 90/100. Could there possibly be any other reasons for this? I've been experiencing headaches lately (because I sit in front of them computer almost the whole day) and also at night because I sleep late (exams). Or could be that I didn't wash my hair properly? Should I use a conditioner? Pictures are in the other thread. HELP PLEASE?

Here are some more pictures. http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/33f354783a.jpg http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/d7e5a0bb59.jpg http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/a1dc8371b1.jpg http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/afb84a5364.jpg Help please? Anyone? What can I do

Is there any else i can show so that you can be more sure of it?

Oh feck. Is there any way in which you can be more sure of it?

I don't style my hair. Lol. My friend has tried to style my hair, but it's so thin that the hair doesn't stick up, they keep falling down.

I'm not sure. I don't keep a track of how my hair grows, I've never cared about it nor have I ever feared balding. I meant the hair from like your eyes upwards. The part on both sides of the head where hair starts to recede when men start to bald. The both sides of the M-shape, yeah. However when I look close I do see some new baby hair growing, thin and short. Does that happen to balding people as well? One weird thing I"ve noticed, my skull structure is strangely similar to that of a baby's as well as the hair pattern.

Okay, I tried not to think about it, but it's really worrying, especially how my current hair matches with the description of symptoms for male pattern baldness. I have already got an M shape. Some parts of my hair are finer than the other, especially near the temples on both sides. Plus recently I have noticed a quite a number of hair falling as i brush through my head with my hand. They're short, and like, thin. At the end there's no bulge like how other normal hair have when you pluck them out. Help?

Just a question, I was wonder if it's normal for your hair around the temple areaa (the 2 sides) to be thinner than the ones in the middle. Or does that only happen to people who are going throught balding? Thanks.

Okay. Seriously this is bad. When I pull my hair even with slight strength some 3 or 4 hair strands come off. It's very weak. When I brush my hair about 10 comes off. Seems like the number falling off everyday is more way past 50. I'm having my major exams by the way, but I don't think I suffer from stress. When I pull my hair it just comes out so easily.

Yeah thanks guys i guess i am worrying a bit too much, but i seriously it really bothers me and i just wanted to make sure. So maybe i should really post a picture.

Thanks guys. Here's how the story goes, my friend told me he noticed that my widow's peak was really obvious when i hold my fringe up. So I did some research up on this 'widow's peak' thing and I found out on wikipedia it states something like 'Male pattern baldness develops what appears to be a widow's peak' or something like that. Then I farther went to google on man pattern baldness and I found out that ALL bald men have widow's peak at the beginning of their bald period. I also found out there were people who were as young as 18 losing hair. I was curious and quite afraid of going bald anywher around 16 to 40. About my genes, my dad and paternal uncle aren't bald. My maternal uncle is though. However I have never seen my grandfathers before or anyone of the earlier generation so I'm not really sure about it.

Thanks guys. The problem is I'm Asian. I fear that I'll be going bald in the next decade, probably even in the next few years, but I'll have to watch out for symptoms to be sure. Currently along my hairline (widow's peak), I found out that the hair in front of the line are much shorter and thinner compared to the rest of the hair on my head. What does this imply? Does anyone know of any other symptoms? Does having a widow's peak mean that you're going to grow bald?

I can't really remember as I did not care about my hairline back then.

Thanks a lot guys for the replies. I'm not really sure whether my hairline has changed, since only now have I taken notice of it. The only thing i know is that i have a widow's peak, hmm before, i've never really cared so i don't know. I have quite thin hair, so does my dad and my uncle. My mom and sister don't have widow's peaks though. At the moment, my dad seems to be shedding quite a lot of hair, but this only happened a few months ago, he IS 58, I'm thinking probably something stressful with his work is causing it. My uncle who is younger than my dad doesn't seem to be balding. I woke up today to find about 4 hair strands on my pillow. This may not tell me anything about whether I'm bald yet, but is there any way to predict, or prevent balding even if I'm not going to bald soon? Thanks.

I'm only 15 turning 16 soon and I have a widow's peak. it's quite deep at the sides from as far as I can tell. Though, it's a V shaped like sharp in the middle, unlike the ones i found online which shows me something like a U-shape. Everyday I shed about 10 to 20+ hair, but from what i found out, an average person loses about 50 hair strands per day, which is normal? My dad has the same hairline but he doesn't really seem to be balding at the age of 58. Can anyone help me please? Thanks.
