If you still have all your hair at 40, is there still a chance it might fall out later?

For sure. If you still have your hair at 65, you’re probably in the clear.

Yes. My ex husband had a head full of hair when we divorced in 2000. He was almost 40. I saw a picture of him on Facebook recently and he’s almost totally bald.

Depends on your genetic family history,check if family members have that problem, but not everyone in the family share equal amounts of genetics. Maybe you won’t go bald at all.
By the way apparently baldness is inherited through the female lines to their children.
Even women go bald or near bald, thin hair etc

Sure. Besides, Murphy’s Law is always in effect and it could affect YOU!

Yup. Later baldness for men often starts thinning at the back of the head, around the soft spot area, in the very late 40’s and during the 50’s. Not that it’s inevitable. Many men keep a full head of hair well into old age.

Helps to keep in mind that men who are bald in front are great thinkers and men who are bald in back are great lovers and men who are bald all over think they’re great lovers.
