Balding email this discussion to a friend?

This is a discussion my daughter and I started last night. Her friends little brother has very soft hair, but they were saying that he would probably be bald because his Dad and his Grandfather are balding.

This may be a myth, but I think I heard that baldness comes from the mothers side of the family. For example, my sisters son who is in his 30's has no sign of losing his hair and my dad also didn't have thinning hair either. My husband does have thinning hair, but his Mom was adopted, so we don't know, but his Dad doesn't have thinning hair.

So, by looking at the men in my family, I can say that the probability of men losing hair is from the mothers side of the family.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is there research that now no longer suggest that? (I am talking about the normal lose of hair, not sickness or medications
that may cause this)

Carmel I heard the same thing that it was on the mother's side. So if you want a man that isn't going to bald, you should be looking at the people on his mother's side of the family. LOL

That is what I thought Joyce. And I am not looking for a man, just curious because my daughters friends bother was told he would go bald. Well, I guess not if his grandfather on his mothers side isn't..lol

I also heard that you should see how the women are balding. For example, the women with thinning hair or receeding hairlines are going to have males that bald at a higher rate than women with full heads of hair. So look at the grandmothers and moms?

Well I know the mother has a full head of hair, so I guess this guy is going to be keeping his for a long time..:)

It can be from either side. That men inherit baldness is another blame the woman for everything myth. In some cases baldness comes from the mother's side, but then it would show that the girls have thinning hair as well. But is often from the father's side as well. So in many cases it is from both sides. http://www.virtualhaircar...

Interesting, from those sites, it seems to be still up in the air as to if it comes from just mom or dad or both. Well, I guess we will have to wait a while to see, this kid is only like 12..lol
