So I'm 19 years old and I'm kinda curious if I'm balding. My dad is bald, but my mom's dad has a full head of hair. I was born with a high hairline that is similar to my mom's dad. When I shower I lose hairs, but it's not clumps of hair like some people do when they bald. I have noticed it being slightly less thick than when I was in my hey day of 17 and such. Should I consult a doctor or am I fine? The only time I lose hairs is when I shower. My mom said I shouldn't worry.

Rogaine saved me from balding at the ripe age of 19. But consult a hairdresser I did that.

You're supposed to get your hair from your mom's side, but I don't know in your case.
All I know is that if I ever go bald I'm going to hate myself.

My options are either grow my hair out long if I don't bald. Rock the George Carlin look with the bald pony tail.

It doesn't look bad, and my mom says I have her dad's hair. I will talk to him before I leave.

I get hairs all the time when I shower since I was a teen. I'm 26 now and still not bald (though starting to thin at the front)... so if you're anything like me, you've got a ways to go

Do people go to the doctor when they lose their hair?

For some reason, even though it's not really relevant, I'm imagining Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star as somebody's barber.

I have the same problem with stray hairs in the shower and such, but when I asked my barber about it, he said my hair was fine.
But my father and both grandfathers are bald, so I'm resigned to it happening eventually.

Everyone loses a little hair in the shower. We shed every day. You just don't really notice it until your hair's getting longer.
I thought the same thing when I first started growing my hair out. You're fine.

Difficult to say without pictures to look at and compare. And so what if you're balding? Get a short hairstyle or shave it off. I've been balding since I was 16. No big deal.

I've been balding since I was in my late teens/early 20s but I was expecting it. Both of my grandfathers are bald. I really don't care though. I just throw a hat on and go on my way.

I've heard the whole "balding is from the mother's side" to death. A lot of the men on my mother's side still have full hair or didn't lose theirs until their 40's and 50's.
Meanwhile, I'm noticably balding at 27 in an almost identical pattern and time that my dad, uncle, grandfather and great uncle have all on my dad's side.
But yeah, it's no big deal to me. I'm getting quite a few grey hairs as well, which is pretty weird for my family for still being in my 20's.

You should just get a hair tattoo on your head. That way you'll have hair forever. Yeah, I grew my hair out so that someday when I'm a bald old man I'll show pictures to my grandkids. I thought I was balding at 17 but nothing changed in 5 years and it's just the way my hair is.

I've been going bald since my late teens. Dads bald, his dads bald, moms dads bald...so I was destined either way. It bugged me for about 5 minutes. I used to shave it with clippers till about 5 years ago, then started razoring it. Kinda sucks since blades are so expensive, but I could care less about the fact I'm bald. Apparently, I've been told, I have a good shaped head for shaving.
Not to bash anyone in here, but I've never seen the point of Rogaine, transplants, and all the other goofy things guys do to re-grow hair. Maybe I'm just weird though lol
