Question: I am 20 yrs old. My father is pretty bald, but he didn’t start losing his hair until he was 37. How do I know if I will go bald, and what can I do to keep my hair healthy and hopefully avoid going bald like my father?
Answer: Well, to answer your first question directly, new developments in genetic research on the genes that cause balding have led to the creation of a test that will tell you whether you have the genetic makeup that leads to balding. It is quite a breakthrough. I offer this test at my clinic. So if you find out that you do have the genetic make-up that will lead to baldness, you can then make choices, drugs, and lifestyle, so as to minimize the hair loss that will occur in the coming years.
