New Computer Program Predicts Future Hair Loss

Is there hair loss in his future? Photo: Getty Images

Years ago, women plugged their boyfriend's name into The Love Calculator to determine their relationship's chances of working out.

Now, women can take the next step and rely on The Baldness Calculator to determine his chances of going bald.

Simply answer 12 quick questions based on genetic information, and get his scalp's fate handed to you.

The tool is developed by the Dr. Wolff Group, a 100-year-old company that produces hair loss products Alpecin, Alcina, and Linola. Aside from one geographically limited question (the tool is geared toward UK users), anyone can use it.

Will you? Leave a comment below.

I first started losing my hair when I was 17. Of course, all my friends thought that it would be great fun to tease me about my bald spot. Eventually I got sick and tired of losing my hair and decided I had to do something about it. I started using Hair Again Gel and within 3 weeks I started seeing new hair:

My hair started falling out when I was in my early twenties. My father had male pattern baldness and so did my grandfather. I was definitely genetically destined to be bald but I hated that. I tried every scam product that claimed to help regrow hair. Nothing was working. It looked like my choices were down to wearing a hairpiece, shaving my head, or just going slowly bald. I read about a laser comb http://mylaserhairregrowth.info/ which just seemed like another scam until I read that it was the first and only FDA cleared medical device proven to regrow hair. I figured that I would give it a shot before accepting the fact that I was going to be 30 and bald. I noticed an improvement in the way my existing hair looked within 10 days or so. Within two months I saw that I was regrowing hair in places where I had lost it all. After 6 months I had reversed my hair loss completely and I was developing a fairly thick head of hair. It's been about 14 months now and if you saw me you wouldn't even think that I was going bald. I'm glad that I pushed my skepticism aside and took a shot on the laser comb. It's been a life changer for me. If you think it might help you try this link because it includes a $25 discount should you choose to try it.

Yea whatever Daniel! It's scum like you that give hair restoration a bad name. There is no product on the market that will grow back hair. Do your lying and marketing elsewhere. Don't you think if there was a cure for baldness that 75% of the male population that is losing their hair would be on board with it? The FDA has approved two drugs (Rogaine & Finesteride) which at best arrest additional loss. They certainly haven't approved your snake oil as a product to re grow hair. The unscrupulous under belly of society like yourself will continue to prey on the misinformed and try and rip them off with magical lotions and potions. This has been going on for decades. Grow up....get a real job...and leave the lying to professionals!

I've been bald since birth. The B-9 mole on my 4-head is my trademark and the wrinkles on my wife's face are like the cracks in the dry Texas ground.

Daniel is right Bobby. I bought a new hair care kit and it worked wonders... Within ten minutes I started sprouting hairs. I still have one shiny, bald spot on top. I am able to cover it with the two hairs on each side by combing them over and covering the spot. It just takes lots of water and some good fertilizer to keep it growing...

This program shouldn't be aimed towards WOMEN testing it to see if their husband may go bald, it should be aimed towards MEN who are worried about going bald!

No, alissa. It should be aimed at the toilet because it's pure crap. Just like Daniel's magic baldness cure. It's pure BS.

I started losing my hair in my early twenties, it wasn't until my divorce that I finally did something about it, at the age of 52. I went to have a hair transplant, I look alot younger, feel better about myself. The only thing I wish is, that I did it sooner. It wasn't cheap, but it help my selfsteem.

"The male baldness calculator determined that you will likely not go bald even in old age." Yay! I hope so anyway.

I don't really trust this though, there's a question of "which region are you from," with European-sounding areas, so I think the quiz is for Europeans.

the real predictor is for a male to ask if his maternal uncles are bald..then he will be, one day.

I had search products for controlling the hair loss. But no good results came. But when I found IHT-9 the herbal hair regrowth shampoo from the website www.iht9.com , I start applying this and within few weeks, I am actually getting my hair back. It’s really a true herbal shampoo I have ever got.

This is a wonderful opinion. The things mentioned are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone. I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted out because it is about the individual but it can be with everyone.
