Baldness: Is there indeed baldness in your family by age 20? Quite unlikely. That said, if my thoughts are wrong and you are losing hair I would recommend a referral to a Dermatologist.

Yes: if you want to prevent more hair loss, you need to use it forever. First you might want to check with your family physician to see if you have any medical reasons for hair loss ie. loss of a significant amount of weight, illness, thyroid problem.
