I was wondering if one parent can determine adult hair loss. Or if it can even be predicted. Thanks for your answers in advanced. =-)

    Apperently not:my father was totally bald and all 5 siblings have full heads of hair.
    There is no cure for balding:a total waste of money.

    baldness comes from your mother…but it is not likely that you’re mother will be bald. the X chromosome has several traits that it carries. the Y chromosome has 1 and thats a gene for testicles. you’re mother would not likely that your mother will be bald b/c she has 2 Xs and its not likely that she’ll have a recessive gene for baldness on both Xs. If you’re dad has a bad X; however, then nothing on his Y, i.e. his balls will stop that from happening. this is also relevant to many genetic diseases and is at least one reason why women live longer and are genetically superior :) good luck buddy.

    ok, hair looosing comes from the mother side (usually) but if ur dad and ur uncle are both bald, %80 u will become bald….becuz im an 18 years old boy n im goin bal, i’ve went to lots of dermatologist and they told me u cant do anything , so unfortunately ther is no cure

    I think that’s actually an X chromosome trait, so it’s your mother’s father you’re most likely to resemble. Been a while since I took genetics. Google “hair loss genetics” and you’ll have your answer.


  5. no, its very unlikely
    baldness skips a generation…meaning, you wont be bald but your kid will have a higher chance of being bald..and it usually only affects guys so if you have a daughter she most likely wont be affected

  6. Like my Name? says:

    Just because your dad is bald doesn’t mean you will become bald.
    You will find out when you are his age if you will go bald or not. But remember, there are stuff to grow your hair back! So don’t worry about it.

    my dad says hair loss skips a generation. dad’s dad (my grandpa) still has a full head of hair, but my dad is sort of balding, so apparently i will not bald..
