There is a new male pattern baldness and male hair loss predictor on the market that is for sale online for a price of $149 that says it will predict with nearly perfect accuracy whether a man is prone to hair loss before the age of 40 years old.  This would be considered early hair loss for a man, so the test is genetically geared toward detecting certain genes that make a man more predisposed to early hair loss than other men - much more so actually.

Supposedly you can order the genetic test kit online and then you can mail it in and go to the company website a couple weeks later and find out your results.   The biotech company who came up with the concept says that it may prevent men who don’t even have balding or hair loss yet from spending money of hair loss products for men, which is a billion dollar industry here in the US since it’s  real sore spot for many men and one of the things that sucks worst for men who are aging.

All in all, I’d say that if you think you may experience early hair loss, it wouldn’t hurt to order the kit, but only if you have a little disposable income to deal with, ’cause it’s not exactly cheap.  They said that just because it runs in the male side of a guy’s family, it’s not always a guarantee that you will carry that gene too, so this test can supposedly ease fears of some men - and put it in others.
