At what age is it most common for men who are genetically predisposed to start balding?

If you mean what is the average age for male pattern baldness (MPB), the average is around 50. However, it is also affected by the genetic predisposition and environmental factors.

I heard most people begin using their hair by the time they're 30, if they're balding. This is separate from the eventual balding that happens when men reach very old age.

What you said is true, but MPB may still start with some people earlier. One study reported that in 30% of participants who had been tested, MPB appeared at age 17. Another study found that 40% of the participants began balding before they were 20 years old, and 25% of them had started balding before they were 18.

Are there any cures or remedies for balding?
