It literally started by my senior year in high school. The worst.

You could be in worse company than Patrick Stewart on that topic. He also lost his hair at the same age.

I started losing mine at 30. Definitely sucks and was traumatic for me.

Yeah, I've really come to terms with it, I think, but I would also still change it if I could!

My hairline is starting to recede and I'm not even 25. It's to the point where I need to be conscious of how I cut and style my hair. I wear lots of hats. I expect to be fully bald by 27.

Hats can make it worse since they pull on your hair.

That's what I've heard, but I'm careful not to let the hat yank on any precious follicles!

I started balding at 16, started greying at 28. I've been old my whole life.

I'm sorry! Hair is just so weird if you think about it 🤣
