Looking at Family Hairlines to Determine MPB?

Hello,

I have a question regarding hairlines. Does the similarity of hairlines bewteen family members serve as a tool in determing the possiblity of MPB? Or does hairline similarity have nothing to do with MPB? Thanks.

Since the balding gene can come from either side of the family, you couldn’t make a determination about hair loss just by looking at hairlines. It’s not that simple, but if you have started to bald at 25 years old and someone in your family says, “Wow, your hair looks like mine at 25 years old!“, then it would be safe to assume that your pattern might follow his pattern both in scope and in timing. So, ask around and speak to the men in your family.
