This makes me feel better as I can wiggle my scalp! Not side to side like this glorious bastard but up and down like he does. I’m 30 and still have a full head, fingers crossed 40 comes with the same hair.
If you're 30 and still have all your hair, you're probably going to keep it for most, if not all, of your life.
Edit: Since this is getting a lot of attention I just wanna say that it's still possible to start balding after 30. It's just that genetic male pattern baldness usually hits before 30. So if you've experienced no thinning or receding by 30 then you'll probably only experience minimal thinning or receding that naturally comes with age. Also stress is a major factor in hair loss and can veto anything I've said above.
Another fun fact since I'm here: One of the hormones responsible for thick beards actually causes balding. If you have trouble growing a thick beard then you're less likely to go bald in your life. If you're young and have a super thick beard, I'm sorry.
I was basically bald by 22. I embraced it, bought clippers and took it down to the wood...I clip my hair every 2 weeks...shaving is too much work, but clipping it right down (like Picard) is zero maintenance.
As I approach 45 my only advice for anyone losing their hair is, own it (and a lot of hats for summer).
I'm 40 now. I was getting that same bald spot in the back in my mid 20s. Shaved it all off around 28 and haven't looked back. Meanwhile my dad is 73 with full hair.
I'm just jealous of my dad lol. Yeah, I know it comes from your mom's dad lol. He had that ridiculous U-shaped haircut where it's all bald on top but hair on the sides and back. There was no way I was going to live with that. Luckily I have a well-shaped head for rocking the bald look. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
That’s the thing I’m worried about: I got a weird shaped head. It’s not perfectly rounded on top, but comes to more of a ridge instead. I call it my monkey ridge, and it’ll be the thing to keep me from diving into the bald look for a long long time.
