    Can't see the pic on my phone. But most my life it's always been high and tight.

    Skin tight fade. 1 on top.

    I do it myself just go 2 on the sides and back then 3 or 4 on top, fade the sides in. Saves me 20 bucks every 2 weeks lol.

    I've been blessed with good genes when it comes to hair and receding hairlines. Pops is 77 and still has most of his hair

    I thought it was influenced by the x chromosome. What does your mother's father's hair look like?

    My husband has a thick head of hair, and his father thinned significantly, but his mother's father had a mane all the way into his early 90s when he died.

    Well as with most traits, baldness or a lack of is polygenic. We know it comes from genes in multiple places on the X and 20th chromosomes. Although we have mapped the entire human genome that is not to say there aren't other genes that affect baldness that we haven't discovered a correlation in yet.

    It is also worth mentioning that environmental factors do play a huge role in hair, especially some AAS.

    It can go either way. My dad was 1/2 bald in his early 20s. On my moms side everyone had thick black hair and full until their death mostly in mid 80s. Mine is a mix. Always had a high hairlilne but only started recceding the last few years and getting thing. Probably a lot to do with aas use.

    My dad had a receding hair line in his 50's. On my mom's side, her father had almost a full head of hair in his 90's (it was thicker than mine is currently). I just don't get why my hair decided to thin out starting in my late 20's. I mean I know my use of AAS must've had some role, but it couldn't have been this much of one.

    I was always led to believe your hairline (as a male) reflects that of your maternal grandfather.

    Bald from an early age. My brother took after him. Dad's father died before dad was born. So I have no idea, but I take after my father in this area.

    I've been non stop testosterone for several years now, and still a full head of hair.

    Real men shave their heads bald.

    They claim male pattern baldness gene is passed down from the mother's father.

    There is zero baldness in my family. Yet I am balding while on trt.

    I've yet to experience any new body hair to speak of, or thinning. Acne like a teenager, but nothing hair related.

    Oh, and more on topic: I've always wanted to do a flat top, but my wife is completely opposed to it. She's not even happy when I have a buzzcut. Razor, or grown out.
