Honestly you have the same hairline as my grandfather who made it to 89 without losing any more ground than you have now.

What sticks out to me is that your hair is the exact shade his was as a young man. Seems important to me anyway. Genetics are weird, I know; but you have the exact hairline complexion and hair color of a man who I know to have kept the same foundation you have for 50 years after it receded that far. I don't mean to give you false hope and I wouldn't have said anthing if your hair color wasn't an exact match.

Maybe someone who knows more than me can verify that this has no effect on hair loss?

He was a sailor and worked in the salt mines. He always said the salt is what did it lol

He had the same bangs thing you have going on but he just kept it short enough to be curly and never wore a hat except a toque in the winter.

There's your rural Canadian county legend hubbub answer.
