I'm wondering if someone's sensitivity to DHT can change throughout their lifetime, or if it stays the same? The reason I ask, is to help predict future hair loss. For example, I have been slowly losing hair since age 23-24 from a slightly thin crown at that time... to now an NW 3-Vertex at age nearly 37. Could I expect this same rate of hairloss going forward? Or can sensitivity increase in my 40's or 50's, and I can bald faster? Or could it even become less sensitive, and slow down/stabilize?
