Hey, I'm sure you guys probably get a lot of questions about baldness, but I have one of my own. I'm only 16 years old, and my hair is about to the middle of my shoulder blades at the longest, i guess. My older brother is 20, and has very short hair, and he has been noticeably balding (typical male pattern baldness) since he was 19. Understandably, I'm worried about it myself. Does his hair necessarily reflect what mine will be like, or will I not necessarily go bald? And what should I do about it? I seem to lose a lot of hair, which I guess is just because it's so long, it seems like a lot, so I don't think I'd even notice if I were going bald. Should I start using like Propecia or Rogaine or something when I turn 18? My brother is using both, I think, and he's still going bald. Is there anything I can do other than hope? Thanks for any input.
