Hi ive been wonderin bout hair loss for awhuile now...here is my fmaily genes..does it sound like hair loss is in my future?
my grandpa on my moms side..(her dad) was prety bald on top..hair on his sides..
my grandpa on my dads side (his dad) still has all of his hair..its thinning of course cuz hes almost 70..but he still has it..i dont know about my dad ive never seen him..but my grandma (dads mom) told me most of the men on her side lost all of their hair..
but my grandma (my moms mom) told me the men on her side kept their hair..
im 21 tomorrow and my hair is thin/fine..i kinda have a widows peak hairline i guess...based on what i told u bout my genetics does it sound like its in my future?

I have always heard that your grandfather on your mothers side is pretty much the one to look at. I mean I'm no scientist but I know my mother's father had a really thick head of hair his entire life. (age83) and mine is still very thick. I have absolutly no male pattern baldness going. Hope that helps

who's hair does yours resemble more... your moms or your dads? your hair will follow the same path as the guys in your mothers family if it resembles hers... but if its color & texture is more like your father's then consider him a window into your own hair future.
