    Every man on my mother’s side (even once or twice removed cousins, my grandfather’s cousins, everyone) has male pattern baldness. The women have relatively thin hair in their old age. On my dad’s side, he and his father both have full heads of hair into their old age. I turned 30 this year and no sign of baldness yet, but I do dread a day when someone tells me they see a bald spot at the back.

    There’s still hope. And I’m holding onto that hope like crazy.
