^^ same for me. Mine's really thick - there are some lighter flecks in the hair that might be grey (my hair isn't that dark so it's hard to tell) but no danger of my hair going any time soon I don't think. Won't bother me when it happens anyway, I often have my hair at number 1 so I can just keep it there if I find it looks embarrassing.

Are you balding?

Started losing my hair at a ridiculously rapid rate at 19. Thought I was going to be 100% bald by 25. It tormented me. It really did. But then it slowed down. My hairline receeded quite a bit and, since then, has just been getting thinner and thinner around the top. I'm 36 and have way more hair than I thought I would at this age. I'd far prefer to have a full head of hair but I'm not really all that bothered about it now.

Gradually the fringe got thinner n thinner, & by the time I hit 25 I was sick of the way it looked so I shaved it all off down to a number 1.
It took a lot of courage to do that cos it was way past my shoulders at the time, but it had to be done so I put some Bad Religion on to get me hyped & just did it!!
For about 4 yrs it just looked like a shaved head but then got thinner so from there on in I just bicced it with a razor.
What annoyed me was that I used to take care of it & wash & condition it, not fill it full of chemicals & wax/mousse or straighten it, but I guess my father's f*cked up side of the family decided to pass this little 'gift' on to me earlier than expected. I still miss it to this day but I aint gonna cry about it.
As for that hairloss stuff, it just reminds me of those penis enlargement miracle pills that you can get, which don't work...............errrr..........apparently.
I did see a news article on yahoo about a miracle cure for baldness being just around the corner but didnt bother reading it.
Hey Alex WS have you thought about that Belgravia Hair Clinic thingy that I've seen advertised on TV?

Over the years it's receded gradually, used to worry about it as for a young bloke it can be a concern but now with 47 looming later this year I couldn't give a flying, in fact I think I'd rather be completely bald to save me washing it twice a day.
Maybe I'm trampy but I only wash mine every two or three days.

Been pretty lucky, still got a full head of thick hair at 36 (yikes, 36...!) with zero recession. Grey is a different matter, though, have had a gradually growing streak of white on my right temple side since my early twenties but it's now got fecking huge plus one's developing on the left temple, plus am noticing a 'wave' of white starting around my fringe, though the rest of my hair is still dark. Did better than my dad, mind, he went fully white in his twenties.
Hate to be saying this, but I'm seriously thinking of getting the barnet dyed and now would be the optimum time 'cos my hair still primarily looks dark and I still look (and feel) young...it's just it seems such a narcissistic and saaaaaad decision to make!

Dad's bald, and grandfathers on both my mum and dad's side were bald so I didn't stand a chance
Started thinning at the back at 20/21, which spread to the front by the time I was 25/26. Full blown baldness (from the back of the head to the front) quickly occurred after this time (coincidentally when I got married!) and now at 31 I roll with the grade 1 crew
You'd think modern science would have done something about this by now
EDIT: Have about 20 greys around the sides too.

My hairline is receding, judging by some of my cousins, it could recede quite dramatically before I hit 30 (26 at the moment). Lucky I didn't get the bald spot from my dad though, just got a slight thin patch from a childhood scar (head + glass door) but you have to actively look for it to spot.
My ginger hair goes uncontrollable and frizzy (despite it not being curly) when it gets long so I'm always forced to keep it fairly short. No greys but my hair is getting lighter.

Thin on top, so buzzed it at 6mm, down to 3mm, then no attachment.
Personally I like wet shaving it after that as it feels nice but is a PITA to do.
It's only hair and is at the whim of your unalterable personal biology. What will be, will be.
If you're thinking of getting down to Mori's Wig Shop, don't.
