Bald

By what age do most guys start going bald?

I know this probably varies from person to person, but when do most guys seem to start going bald? Is it usually in their early 20's or does it happen later in life (like when guys are in their 40's or 50's)?

1. i believe they start at about 37 years old, on average of course.
2. 40's i guess
3. I've seen guys go thin while they were still in college. Usually its in the 30s, though
4. It actually varies from guy to guy & depends on their genes. Some start young, some start older, some don't lose hair at all! One of my [many] cousins is only 24 (6 months older than me) & his hairline is already receeding. Poor guy =(
5. Well, it's true, it does vary from person to person. ie: I know someone who started going bald in his late teens! but that doesn't happen very often. then there are also some who don't go bald at all. I'd say that if a lot of people in your family are bald, then you might have inherited the tendancy, but then again, you might not!
6. You start going bald right after conception, if you are not already bald. Don't worry about it and be yourself.
7. 40, i guess, but it depends on your body.
8. Most of the guys I know that are balding it started in their 30s. I'm 25 and have noticed a little receding around the edges. I have a friend who is almost completely bald now and he is 24. Heredity has alot to do with it but so do environmental factors and personal habits such as wearing a hat. How much hair your father and grandfather's have are a good indicator to what you'll have left when you're their age.
9. its really different for every one
