I’ve been wondering if I should prepare for the Norwood reaper or not. But I haven’t started balding yet. But some of my relatives are bald and I’m worrying if it’s genetic or not. Or simply if it’s highly stress related

My dad: he got bald around my age (I’m not balding at all) he had high stress around my age, smoked cigs, was learning multiple instruments, and trying hard in school to get accepted to the top unis in his country

Uncle: same thing but he has a office job and works a lot, has multiple children to take care of, started balding when he had children.

Grandfather 1: he got bald idk when probably before I was alive, he had a pretty stessful life trying to raise my mother and multiple children while also working jobs in order to sustain living in America

Grandfather 2: he never balded, hes like 80 and he lives on a farm sometimes and id say he has a good diet overall and is healthy for his age

Uncle 2: never balded, owns farmland and I’d say the same like grandfather 2, good diet and healthy for his age.

Just start taking 0.5-1mg dutasteride when you turn 18 and that's it, no reason to not take it and risk getting raped by the norwood reaper, if u are worried about "possible sides effects" of dutasteride use RU5841 or clascosterone as topical anti androgen blockers.

if you stay healthy you're probably fine but nothing wrong with starting finasteride anyway, also put this in questions section

Start as fast as possible as soon as you see a Norwood 1.5/2.
It could be multiple things contributing.
I believe it happend because of genetics and the envoirment of your bald family members. For now you are fine but take pictures on the regular and hop on finasteride as soon as you see balding.
