Your Oratory

My cousin (32 years old) recently started losing his hair. He took some hair loss product to try and stem the tide of falling hair, but it failed miserably… he now has a large bald patch on his crown and his hairline is visibly receding.

This worried me, so when I was at the doctor (with an ear infection) I asked about the risks of me going bald, seeing as my cousin, my uncle, and one grandfather, in my family are all bald. The doctor said baldness can strike anyone but having a bald ancestor (in this case my grandfather, not my cousin) greatly increases your chances – he said 90% of baldness is hereditary – carried down through certain genes.

So there is a good chance I will be bald. I will be watching my father (54 years old) closely, although so far his hair is still looking good (long may it continue). My cousin is trying a new hair loss product now – I’ll also keep a close eye on how he goes about fighting hair loss, as there is a possibility I might be in his shoes (hair?) when I’m 32.
