[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have shoulder length, thick, curly hair, and I lose about a ping pong ball-sized hairball of hair every time I shower. Always have.

Are you seeing baldness, or just hair in the shower?[/quote]

Not baldness, but his hairline has changed, and it looks like a bit more than a “maturing” hairline - his temples definitely seem to have less hair and he has more of a widow’s peak than he used to, *I think*. It’s not noticeable to others because he’s wearing his hair long and floppy, but when you pull his hair back it’s visible. But again, he’s always had such baby-fine hair and a high hairline/bigger forehead, even as a little guy, and beginning hair loss can be very gradual/subtle, so it’s hard to be certain.

With the exception of DS’s maternal great grandfather, nobody is/was bald in my family; the men thin out in middle age but nobody is outright bald. Regardless, it’ll be what it’ll be. As PP said, I’m going to avoid catastrophizing. I did read that baldness is associated with heart disease, but my bald grandfather lived well into his 80s and had a healthy heart.[/quote]
