What is the average age that men start going bald?

My husband has really thick hair, so I never really thought we were that old, but we went to my 10 year H.S. reunion this summer and a lot of the guys have much bigger foreheads than I remember :) We aren't even 30 yet! Isn't that kindof young to be going bald?

Doesn't mean they are going bald. Guys can lose a little hair in the front and that's it.
According to my uncle the average age to go bald is when you have kids! LOL But it seems like to me that most guys I know start to go bald in their 40s. However, like anything else, it varies greatly. I know guys in high school losing hair and my grandpa died at 94 with a full head of hair. Stress, drug use, and bad diet can cause premature balding.
it depends the gal above is correct it varies greatly, i had a full head of hair up till i was 20 then a deployment to iraq and it was gone good thing i have a nice head for shaving.... tell him if he starts going bald to shave it off, none of that comb over crap its just flat out denial.
There are so many factors when it comes to going bald. Stress, hormone levels, genetics, etc. Personally, I noticed my hair started thinning in high school and am sure I will probably have a noticeable bald spot by the time I'm thirty (sadly, it runs in the family).
For some baldness begins at 18, or sometime before 25. If at that age a man has all his hair, he may again go bald much later, at 50 or so. Of course increasing foreheads is a fact of life, but that doesn't mean the person is actually going bald.
