Is There Anyway To Tell How Much Hair I Will Lose And When I'll Start Losing It?

My dad started losing his hair in his 20's and lost most of it by his 40's.

Every male on his side of the family is the same way. The only person that I know of who kept his hair in his family was his maternal grandfather.

My mom has full hair and so does everyone on her side of the family. My maternal grandfather didn't lose any hair until the day he died.

I have hair like my maternal grandfather. Nearly all my traits come from my mother's side of the family. The only traits I get from my dad's side is my height and my facial shape is a mix of both sides.

I'm trying to give as much information as possible, I know most of it must be useless.

There are many different factors that lead to hair loss, and there isn't really one way to tell. The X-linked hair loss gene you get from either your maternal grandfather or grandmother is just one way, but this is not as common or as strong an indicator as people used to think. There are also Male Pattern Baldness genes that you could get from your father. But I'm afraid there is no definitive way to tell.

The gene of hairloss comes from your mother, always, no exceptions.

So if your mother's family has full heads of hair, then it's very unlikely you will lose your hair quickly or at a young age.

The genes for hair loss are carried on the mother's gene, so you should look at your mom's side of the family for determining your "likely" balding pattern, particularly your maternal grandfather.

It's possible that your father's traits play a role in it somehow as a lot of genetic reshuffling goes on in development, but generally male-pattern baldness follows the maternal grandfather.

You didn't specify a gender, so just in case you're female, you probably don't have much to worry about... but in this case I think you would have some mixture of maternal and paternal traits.

Typically, you get the "bald" gene from the maternal side of your family. So according to that piece of information, you should hang onto your hair if that is indeed true.

I'm curious how old you are? If you're in your 20's and your hair seems to be holding well at your hairline, (no receding?) you may indeed hang onto your hair like your maternal grandfather. Know anything about your maternal grandmother's side of the family??? I'd say, if HER family members hung onto their hair, you have a really good chance that you will to.

Most professionals will tell you that you tend to inherit bald traits from the maternal side. Not always true, but sounds good.

There usually is no way to predict what will happen to you. There are just too many factors to consider. Our life situations are very different from our parents, grandparents, and so forth. Even our food is different. This all plays a part in what happens to our bodies.

However, now that you are past puberty, it's been set in place to start losing your hair. This is a slow process, and may not be visible for a couple years yet. Slowly, each hair follicle just stops working. Sometimes you can get them working again, but not always. It's just part of being male.

Some women say they find bald very sexy! Find those women, and don't look back!
