My family has a history of hair loss. Are there any steps I can take now to prevent it in the future?

The males on my father and my mother’s side of the family have a history of hair loss, and I was wondering if there was anything I can do now (at the age of 16) to prevent hair loss in the future.

    no im afraid if you are going to lose your hair ..then you will lose it …although … sometimes a certain trait will bypass a generation … your fathers gene pool is predominatly stronger .further back ..or your mothers ect…and you might have inherited that part …so just enjoy life for now and see what the future brings …dont worry about it now …

    Nothing. It’s genetic. Be a man and deal with it; don’t let it deal with you! Keep an eye on the hair replacement industry and someday they’ll have reasonable and affordable remedies. You’re lucky; right now I’m pushing 50 and starting to show obvious hair loss. You’re still young and have plenty of time to wait while the industry improves. Again, none of us want hair loss, but don’t let baldness, if it happens to you, become the definition of who you are. Enjoy your hair while you have it!

    Eh, there is really nothing effective you can do..Except try products that will only make you look like you are in denial. I suggest buying a gym membership, if you don’t already posses one..Hyper trophy your physique as much as possible..Get a gold hoop in one of your ears, shave you head and go for the Mr. Clean look.

    start saving for implants

    Not really. It’s all in the genes (genetic). Don’t worry, though. Women love bald men, or you can always wear a hairpiece or get implants. Good luck.

    Chow!!

    lets just hope the the problem skips a generation…. it sometimes does.. about what age did you male relatives start losing there hair?… What you can do for now is have a good diet ! Take a multy vitamine… like that you will know that you have everything you body needs to do its many jobs like grow hair !and when the problem occures ( you notice significant thinning of the hair) go see a doctor so he can find a regroth medicine for your case…. Till then dont think about it cause you might lose some cause of stress!! Just go have fun!!!!
