Why are so many millennial men going bald in their 30s?

[quote]They’re faces look pretty young

It's the emptiness in your skull. Keeps the hair anchored in nice and tight.

Most likely they’re not going bald any earlier but their faces are looking younger because they don’t smoke and drink like the older generations did.

Nonsense, baldness is not anymore common than it was

Another British royalty thread?

I think it’s that we’re on more prescription meds than previous generations. Seriously. Every male on both sides of my family has a full head of hair; I’m 33 and have a prominent bald spot. Since the cause of my hair loss is not genetic, the most probable explanation is that it’s a side effect of a med I’m on.

Meh, regardless, I'm getting a hair transplant.

Um, OP, men start losing their hair in their 30s. It’s always been that way. Look it up. That’s when it begins for the majority of men. It’s normal.

[quote] their faces are looking younger because they don’t smoke and drink like the older generations did.

That’s a damn good observation. I never considered that the reason.

OP stop being stupid.

I think it is as many as 1/3 start losing their hair before 35. I am at that age and thinking about it probably about 1/3 of my friends of a similar age have noticeable hair loss (I still have a very full head of hair). Also most people who are losing it in their 30s I suspect had some obvious initial signs of loss beforehand.

That's late Millennial. Going bald in your 40s isn't that unusual.

I'm actually GenX and we had guys in my high school going bald already, by the time they were juniors. Not a lot but three that I can remember off the top of my head. I started getting a receding hairline by the time I was 47.

It's because millennials are so WOKE and love TRANS PEOPLE

My hair started falling out in my 20s. Couldn't afford a transplant back then. Mostly in the front, getting those driveways in the corner of the hairline. Got onto Proscar which was actually for older men who have prostate issues. Side effect is that it helps grow hair. Been on it now for 30 years and the hair loss almost completely stooped in that time. No new growth but very minor loss in that time. Only regret is I didn't start it sooner.

My guess is a lot of millennials dont know about this. Every time I see a new doctor and have to list my medication, they seem to be unaware of this drug's side effect of hair growth until I tell them and they look it up.

Stop complaining. They all have bigger veinier cocks, too.

In some places, increased air pollution could also be a factor. I lived in China for a year in my 20s and my hair really did get noticeably thinner. It grew back when I left, however.

Y’all let’s do a group trip to Turkey for hair transplants! (I’d go see THAT gay movie)

I have to say that I have noticed it too. For some reason, kids develop a lot earlier than they used to and seem to age a lot earlier as well.

My dad, 80+, still has a head full of hair, and I'm hopeful that that is one gene I'm inheriting.

It's the hormones

Steroids are more common now.

They don't, R14, the hung ones just have access to the internet now and want to show it off.

More young guys are taking stuff like testosterone supplements, human growth hormone, and steroids, in pursuit of that muscular body that's now considered a prerequisite if you want to be considered attractive.

All of that stuff causes hair loss. Well, not sure about the HGH to be honest, but testosterone and steroids both definitely do.

The good news is, you can now get hair transplanted from your chest, back and asshole onto your head!

R22 hair transplants take from the back of the head, not the back , chest, or asshole.

R23 hair transplants from chest and back hair are a thing.

I was joking about the asshole, but who knows?

An unsourced blog from Istanbul...wow r24

Troll, late GenX isn’t early 40s. You’re either 12 years old or a fucking cunt

I have no sympathy for men who go bald. For women, yes, as there is no good treatment for baldness in females and because society is harsher on bald women.

However, if you are a man under the age of 35 and bald, it is more or less a personal choice. Propecia has been widely available in the US for a while now. I am 30 and on it; without it I would be bald like my father and brother. I started taking it at the first sign of thinning at the age of 23 and while the hair loss is starting to finally catch up with me a little, no one else can tell. If it gets any worse I will start Monoxidil in addition to Propecia. And before someone says otherwise, my dick still gets plenty hard and my sex drive is still high as ever.

Early 40s *is* late Gen X, R26, you dumb bitch.

Gen X is anyone born between 1965 and 1980.

R25, it's an actual hair transplant clinic website, not "unsourced blog".

And the fact that it's in Istanbul is hardly some sort of disqualifier, considering that Istanbul is considered the global capital of the hair transplant.

R29 They are also the capital of lying to generate sales.

It’s the Reddit look: White, 30’s, bald, bearded.

Both of my grandpas, and my dad started balding in their 20s, and my hairline started to recede at 19, so I started taking Avodart when I was 21. Totally killed my sex drive, but I love the way I look. Umm I haven't seen data that baldness is trending up, and it really shouldn't be. The male body is trending to become more androgynous over time. The avg distance between the penis and the asshole is decreasing every year. And the estrogen pills in our water supply, seed oils in food, and microplastics aren't helping. Male sperm counts are decreasing every year due to these things. The "experts" who are supposed to be protecting our health see no problem with these things and they don't seem to be in the business of preventing this.

Combination of diet, lifestyle choices, environment, and like another poster said: medication. I'd also suggest some of it may be due to all the chemicals and heat and coloring that a lot of men do compared to older generations. I take biotin, Vitamin D, zinc, and fish oil as well as an iron supplement and I'm still going strong. Pretty sick beard, too!

We'll hear of the British going to Turkey for procedures that blow up and cause damage, they are poor people who can't afford better health care.

Good luck, r18. I recall looking at my 74 year old father in his casket with a full, luxurious head of hair, and I was already bald. Still bitter.

Do you live near a nuclear power plant or something, OP. This is not a nationwide issue.

Thanks for making us aware of these products, R27.

Baseball caps?

More than 80% of men experience significant hair loss during their lifetimes. I haven't noticed any difference between the generations as far as hair loss.

Lucky for me, I fall in the 20%. I'm in my 50s and have a thick head of salt and pepper hair. Perfect strangers even comment on my hair. My stylist says she's never had a male client over 50 with so much hair.

It's really mostly genetics. My brother and I take after our mother's family but different sides. I take after our maternal grandfather's side and my brother takes after our maternal grandmother's side. My brother has the same male hairline of all my grandmother's male relatives. Their hair thins in their late 40s but they don't ever lose all their hair. It gets progressively thinner and they develop a sharp widow's peak. My brother is exactly like this. All the males on my maternal grandfather's side had thick heads of hair even in their old age. The women, too. My hair looks just like the males on that side.
