I grew a pompadour for a while during summer when I was 16 or 17 and at the end I needed a haircut because I looked like that kid.

Not all toddlers have NW7 hair, I've seen pictures of me when I was a month old and I had a NW4A, pretty funny. By the time I was a year old I had a NW3/2 and as a toddler I had a dense NW2. The youtuber Nick Shell has this theory that the hairline you had when you were a year old will be the hair you will have once you reach 35.
I have a bald uncle (NW4-5) who even on early childhood pictures had terrible fine hair who looked like diffuse thinning and a huge forehead. You could tell he'd go bald or would have fine/weak hair. His son is a NW7 in his late 20's and his daughter had the exact same hair/forehead when she was like 1-2 years old. My other NW6-7 cousin had a bald spot and weird hair whorls at the same age. So it's definetly possible to track down agressive baldness with childhood pics. Now that I know that babies have crazy T levels I believe this theory even more.

I would cut off my balls or chemically castrate myself before starting puberty in his place and call it the day.
If you were to have done that, the day would not have been called so easily.



You would have only 2 options :

1 - Take Testosterone shots (for the rest of your life). This will help initiate normal male puberty, and also help you live as close to healthy and nomal as a man as possible (which would defeat the purpose of chemically or surgically castrating yourself in the first place anyway).

2- Take Estrogen (for the rest of your life) and live or suffer from all the side effects it will have on you (or maybe not, you might turn out to be a trans woman and it would be the best decision of your life).




There is no getting around these 2 options, since your body needs at least 1 major sex hormone circulating in adequate levels to maintain normal overall health. Guess it is not as easy as you've thought.

his theory didn't apply to me, i am already passed my hair as a one year old and im 19

Maybe this paper can be useful

Simple. Babies when born have a surge of Androgens before they drop off until puberty... Looks like you can tell if a person is prone to male pattern baldness at birth just by looking at their scalp.... Damn.... thats actually crazy.... pooor kid.... well at least Tsuji will hopefully be available by then lol.

Its good to know that once Androgens go down Babies hair recovers.... but then again they got HGH and all the other growth factors working in their favor that adults dont....

are this measures in scalp? Surely don´t, they could be different more in the range of 6 months-9 years.

Imo scalp hair in this time range have hormones ( including T and DHT), one reason is that they make sebum and sebaceous gland only is operative with hormones

Another important thing regarding scalp hairs in childrens/adults

Hair analysis of more than 140 families with drug consuming parents.
Comparison between hair results from adults and their children.

Hair of young children differs from adult terminal hair in
structure as well as in growth properties. Although there is
only limited scientific literature about peri- and postnatal hair
properties and growth, it is known that at the time of birth
the scalp hair follicles are still synchronized with the frontal
follicles converting to the telogen stage whereas the follicles of the
occipital scalp region are still in the anagen stage and convert to
the catagen and telogen stage in the 8th to the 12th postnatal week.
The next hair cycle is not synchronized anymore and the prenatal
hair is completely replaced between 6 to 12 months after birth.


....

In comparison to adults, the hair of young children is thinner
and more porous. This facilitates external incorporation from own
or parents sweat, sebum, smoke or contaminated environment but
also elimination, e.g. by shampooing. It makes, together with
variations in growth rate and in the ratio of anagen/telogen hair,
the chronological interpretation of sectional hair analysis from
young children more complicated. However, from the
viewpoint of growth rate and structural properties, at the latest
above an age of three years children hair can be interpreted in the
same way as adult hair .
