Asking on my own behalf - I’m in my early twenties and actively noticed my hair starting to thin a few months ago. I’m honestly a bit uncomfortable with how quickly it’s been progressing as I quite like my hair.
Late teens, took five or so years to get down to little sparse hairs and stayed there since. While I kind of miss having hair on top to keep off the sun having a reason to just buzz it short is nice.
Hats or suncreen become very important though, because burnt scalp sucks.
One a side note, going bald had zero negative impact on dating/interest from women.
Stress can definitely affect it - I think that was me. I started noticing grey hairs at 17, and thinning probably in my 30s.
Now that it’s mostly gone on top, I have a hard time with hair stylists: they always leave a combover no matter how many times I say not to. While combovers might be a legit strategy in the beginning, at some point they’re just sad and cringeworthy. My “good” stylists/barbers that don’t leave me with this big floppy embarrassing mess keep retiring or going out of business so I’ve shopping for a new one a couple years now. First one to make my hair less embarrassing or to listen to what I tell them to do gets my business.

Maybe it’s stress or something?

Suppose I’ll get used to it in a while. Thanks for the tip regarding sunscreen, hadn’t considered that.
