Before you knew you were balding (pics)

I recently saw a picture of me circa 2004. I was 19 as you can see my hairline was receding, but my density was good. I had no idea I was already balding. It’s true you don’t find our until its half gone. I remember at the time I’d get compliments on my hair, few years later

Let’s see some pictures guys, those 90s and 80s shots haha

11 years ago, I was 31 here. I had no idea my crown and hairline were thinning. I didn’t even notice it in this picture until seeing it nearly a decade later.

Looks like your hair loss was slow, probably started in your 20s but it was so slow you didn’t notice.

Yeah now that I look back at pics, I can even see some very slight loss at age 27. I didn’t really notice it until about a year after these pics, then I saw it getting noticeably worse every year. By age 34 it was bad enough to be a problem and bother me. Fortunately, I didn’t seem to lose much if any hair from about age 37-41, so the combination of minoxidil and fin I started at age 39 seemed to have helped, or I just happen to hit my end results for balding.

Ha, you’re borderline psychic. That was summer of 1995 and yes I did in fact have hoop earrings in both ears. I was a huge Grunge fan. I ended up growing it another 6 months until it was down to my shoulders. I don’t seem to have any pictures though  

Want to know the worst part? I cut all the hair off that winter and started shaving it. Man if I knew then what I know now, I would have kept it long while I had it!

I know, it’s ridiculous. A disproportional amount of rockstars and movie stars seem to keep all their hair. I’m sure for many of them it’s hair transplants or wigs but it can’t be all of them...
