This genetic wild card can manifest itself at any point regardless on how thick one's hair is or what one's 'family' history is or isnt. I personally know guys who had super-thick hair in HS to now have a balding head whereas some guys who had thin hair in HS still have all their hair!!! The worse age range for Androgenetic Alopecia (also known as AGA) to develop is between 20 - 35 yrs of age.
Bubble completely bursted, haha.

I had long hair in HS and even though it looked 'shaggy' I always had it 'thinned out' 1x a month to keep it from getting wild...

But yeah man, go for it! I'm growing my hair long again too... Unlike you though I have a lot further to go!
By professional, do you mean someone I've gotta pay like $30 to cut my hair with platinum scissors, or does a $10 barber suffice?
