Question by blazer1183: How does baldness come from the maternal side of the family if the sons of bald men are often bald?
On my mother’s side of the family, her father and brother are bald, and one of her brothers has a bald patch on the back of his head. On my father’s side, nobody has been bald in any recent generation.

Every time I meet a bald person, it seems like they have a bald father, not a bald maternal grandfather.

How likely is it that I will go bald if my maternal grandfather and uncles are bald?
Oh, and my maternal great-grandfather was also bald, and his son (my grandfather) and grandsons (my uncles) are bald.

Best answer:

well im only 18 and starting to thin out a bit, every guy on my mothers side of my family went bald, but my dad is 55 and has a full head of hair and is just starting to grey. but you have to remember most men go bald so its very likley that bald mens fathers would also be bald it just might of happened differently.

And i would guess that you will most likely go bald if all of those guys did.

Give your answer to this question below!

I m a man in his mid-20s, with thick hair. I have lately observed in my shower that i have a lot of hair fall off, when i shampoo. I have counted this, and this is atleast 30 stands of hair. At other times, when I play with my hair, unconciously, i seem to pull another 10 strands of hairs or more. This has never happened to me, so far. I m used to having stronger hair. I m worried that i m going to go bald, like my friends in their mid-20s. Btw, I m on depakote 250 mg, which is a very low dose, compared to 1250 mgs that is normally prescribed. What complicates the issue is that i have a maternal grandfather, which is bald. However, both my parents, including my mom, have heathy hair. For more information, my mom’s sister also has heathy hair. Is this something to worry about? Should i cut my hair short? Will it solve the problem? Or should I try a good shampoo?
