Here’s My Family History — Now Tell Me When I’ll Bald!

Hello there, I noticed that you have given some very useful advices to other people. I also have a question, whether i will be bald. My father is 40 years old, and he is showing some minor signs of balding. My father’s father is 68 and is not bald, still has a full head of hair, and my mother’s father has full head of hair. The problem is, that my mother’s mother’s brothers are both bald. What are the chances i will go bald? I really appretiate any answer.

The genes responsible can skip generations and can be passed down from either side of the family. There’s really no easy way to pinpoint your chances of losing hair, but there is a genetic test that will tell you if you carry the gene. There’s no easy way to give an estimate of when you’ll lose hair just based on family history.
