The baldness calculator has finally been invented. And it promises to predict the exact age, if at all, when a person will go bald. Speaking to a British daily, Adolf Klenk, head of research and development of cosmetic firm Dr Kurt Wolff, said, “We have developed the male baldness calculator to raise awareness among men.” The calculator asks users’ age, current hairline, family history of hair loss, occupation and marital status before giving an answer. While genetic predisposition is the most common reason for baldness, emotional stress has also been identified as a factor that could contribute.
