"Balding" at Twenty? Don't Fret!
People who've seen the Norwood Classification System often fret because of pattern one and pattern two. Most men do have pattern one and two. Does this mean that all men are balding? Not necessarily. It's time to clear the fog of myth and let science shine.
1. Understanding Your Hairline
Let's see how much you remember of your hair when you were younger. Go back a few decades, to a time when you were still in primary schooling. Did you often brush your hair from your eyes? Did you ever feel that your head was too full of hair, and you would gladly do without some of it?
If you do remember these instances, just keep them in mind. Now go forward in time, to your early twenties. Chances are, the annoying extra hair in front is no longer there. You brush your hair back, but you no longer have to worry about hair getting into your eyes.
2. So, What Happened To All That Hair?
Well, we it's just our hairline maturing with the rest of the body. Having less hair at the front part of the head doesn't mean you're already balding. It just means that hormones are coursing through your male anatomy at a normal pace.
An easy way to discern between real balding and the natural maturation of the male hairline is by checking the distance of your hairline vis-a-vis a crease on your forehead.
If your actual hairline is more than 2/3 of an inch away from the last crease on your forehead, then that means you're already suffering from hair loss. Yes, hair loss in this case is frontal balding.
3. Exceptions To The Biological Rule
Of course, there are some exceptions to the theory of maturing hairlines. Some notable personages, including ex-US president Bill Clinton all have so-called intact juvenile hairlines. If we trace the components to the retention of the youthful hairline, it's all genetics.
Now, not all people are as aesthetically pleasing when you look at them. Some people have very, very persistent forelocks that fail to shed along with other hairs. People with a bunch of hair at the very front of the head but are bald all around are examples of the aesthetically unlucky ones. On television, they are usually portrayed as elderly Elvis Presley look-alikes.
4. Exploit The Forelock!
If you're balding all around an all you have left is a persistent forelock, why not use the bunch of hair to your advantage? Here's what you can do. Grow your persistent forelock as long and as thick as you can. Let it grow to 'absurd' dimensions (like eight inches or so).
When you have a significant length already, brush the long hair whichever direction you wish. Your forelock won't make you any less bald (well, at least not biologically) but you will look the part of a man who still has some hair across his head.
It might not really convince everyone, but at least your shiny head won't attract that much attention when you're walking down a busy street. It's all a matter of adaptation when you've reached a point of your life that you're already balding.
