I was born with #2 and will remain #2 probably for the rest of my life. I don't agree with the receding hairline thing. I've always had this hairline, and so does most of my family. My grandfathers both had their hair into their 90s when they died. My father is in his 60s with the same hairline. I had #2 as a child. This is just an alternative style of hair to #1 imo as I've seen people outside my family also have this hairline as a child.

Are you complaining you don't have #1? I'm pretty sure #1 and #2 are just different starting points. I personally find people with #1 looking weird as their hairline is too low. To each their own.

1. I hope I never get past 2, or 3 worst case.

I'm 39 and have had no noticeable hair loss. My hair seems to be just like my father's. who had a full head of hair for his entire life. He also had no gray until about 55, and then only a little. I consider myself very fortunate in the hair department.

I really don't give a damn about my hair either way. In fact I actually can't wait to finally go bald. Hairs are stupid.

I'd say I'm at stage 4 by now. Doesn't really matter since I have shaved my hair for over a decade now. Going for that Jason Statham vibe.

I still have a full crop of thick ginger hair. So I'm good at #1

Most likely 1 till the end.
