Three signs you're going bald (@stophairloss)
Are you worried that your hair won't stay lush for a long time?
Experts claim that men are able to determine their chances of going bald by the length of their fingers.
how?
It turns out that the probability of baldness is six times higher when the ring finger on the right hand is longer than the finger.
Male pattern baldness, which usually affects two out of three men, can be identified by the length of the fingers, the Sun reports.
Experts conducted a study with the participation of 240 men over the age of 37, who were diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia - also known as male pattern baldness.
They discovered that men who have an index finger shorter than the ring finger on their right hand - have a higher chance of balding.

A balding man claims his hair grew back when he stopped washing it.
is that so?
There is one anti-baldness treatment that works better than all the rest.
Experts believe that a longer ring finger may be a sign of high exposure to testosterone in the womb, which also shrinks hair follicles.
A pattern of hair loss usually occurs when the hair growth cycle has been disrupted.
Excessive levels of the sex hormone dihydrotestosterone are produced, which affect, among other things, the health of the heart.
The researchers from Taiwan say that a long ring finger can indicate that people have more of this testosterone, which reduces the size of hair follicles.
According to the study, white men have a 50% chance of losing their hair by the time they reach their 40s.
The statistic reaches 80% by the time they reach the age of 80. While baldness may start as early as the late teens/early twenties, other early signs include noticeable thinning, receding hairline or early signs of hair loss at the back of the head.
