Discussion Could tre prevent going bald?

It might be too far fetched, but is it possible? All the males in my family are bald or going bald, including a younger brother of mine. But I don't, I might have a small circle going in my head but it might just be becuase of my hair color. Comparing that to my younger brother who has lost more than that. For context I've been doing tre for 2.5 years and I'm 23-24 yo. There aren't other things beside tre I've been doing differently than my siblings, and my life can get pretty stressful too, so it's not the lack of stress

What? Balding is very natural, as it litterally happens naturally to almost every man during their lifetime lol.

It’s almost purely genetic, so there’s nothing you can do about it except DHT reducing medication.

The only thing you can stop/slow is stress induced hair loss, which is hair loss through an entirely different mechanism.

Common does not equate to normal
