It’s not like clumps of it are falling out in the shower, but as someone who spends a considerable amount of time looking at themself in the mirror, it’s safe to say the prophecy will be fulfilled. It was written in stone in ancient Mesopotamia: most men will experience some form of hair loss, and there’s no escaping it. Could it all be a matter of perspective?
