You know who I feel sorry for? The women with baldness problems. It happens sometimes, and although it's much less common than for men, in our culture it's not accepted well, and that makes it tough to deal with.

The key to overcoming male pattern baldness and reducing hair loss over time is to recognize the condition early. Men should look for a receding hair line, thinning on the top of the head, and/or a bald spot on the crown. Women on the other hand will begin to notice generally thinning evenly distributed over the entire scalp. If you find pattern baldness then you should seek treatment from certified clinics like for hair clinic or any other if you want the matter resolved.
It may appear that baldness is increasing because men have accepted it and don't do toupees much anymore. Nobody is bald on tv 20 years ago because of wigs. Look closely and you can spot them.
I kept my hair until I was in my mid 40's when it became noticeable. I'm good with that. However I can see this could be an issue if I was dating and in my 20's. I'd be getting a hair transplant. They are much better today than the corn-row look of the early days.
As far as maternal Grandfather, in my family, on my mother's side of the family, the men were bald early, losing their hair in their 20s. My father's side, they kept their hair until later in life. I have two brothers- two of us kept our hair until our 40's the other one lost his hair in his 20s.
