The truth is, the majority (more than half) of men are balding or have thinning hair. It becomes more noticeable as men age, but it doesn't mean that it wasn't quietly happening years before they finally came to terms with it. It seems many men are in denial, and they go to great lengths to pretend they aren't balding like growing their hair longer, shaving their entire head, or combing thicker parts over thinner parts--you get the idea.

Early-onset baldness seems to affect about 10-20% of the male population. In these people, their hair begins to thin and fall out following puberty, and some of these men appear balding by their late teens and early twenties. They almost always look older than their age. Researchers have linked balding with testosterone production and other hormones that are out of whack--balding is also genetic.

If you make it to 40 and have the same head of hair you had at 20, you are in the minority. Good for you!

According to this site, 40% of Caucasion men in their 40's...

Androgenetic alopecia or pattern baldness is a common condition affecting approximately 50% to 80% of Caucasian men and is the most widespread form of baldness. Alopecia is an inherited condition, most likely dominantly inherited with variable penetrance, which progressively appears as men age (Ellis et al., 1998; Harris, 1946; Kuster and Happle, 1984; Smith and Wells, 1964). Typically, 30% of Caucasian men in their thirties have alopecia. This number increases to 40% for men in their forties, and so on, up to 80% of men in their eighties and older. This progressive rate of appearance of alopecia is also found in other ethnicities, although in total, baldness may appear at a lower rate than in Caucasian men. For example, it is estimated that only a total of 30% to 40% of Asian men are affected by androgenetic alopecia.

It is really hard to say but you must also remember that it is the women that are suppose to be the carriers of the balding gene and not the male........................................................................
