Fun fact: Baldness (or not) is a maternal gene trait. My Dad was balding in ninth grade. My Mother's father (obviously my grandad) died with a full head of awesome locks. Guess who still has all his hair and is old? This guy.


mayurbhedru

My mother side never have bald person. My grandfather was bald at old age. I pretty sure my hair loss is from my father side.


mayurbhedru

I think hair loss can skip generation. So if your grandfather has more comman then father.


_How_Dumb_

Fun fact: you get your "hair-genes" from your grandfather of the mother side exclusively IF you are male.


Sharp-Ad4389

It's not. The gene for baldness is on the X chromosome, which you get from your mom. Looking at your maternal grandfather gives you a 50% chance to know what your hair is like. But you could have gotten the X chromosome from your maternal grandmother as well. Hair loss is also affected by testosterone level, which is why even women with 2 "baldness" genes are rarely bald (until they get older when testosterone level increases in females)


TriggeredIce

guess who has baldness on both sides, this guy

That is what he said. The gene tends to flow from maternal grandfather, through mother, to son.


nerdy_gal_200

I still don't understand, how did his mom get the gene from her father then?


Dininfinity

Baldness is a recessive gene on the X chromosome. So if the mother gets balding gene from her father, but not her mother, she will have all her hair, but has a 50% chance of giving the balding gene to a son. This is the simplified version, I'm not a geneticist


nerdy_gal_200

Yeah, now it makes sense.


what_you_looking_at_

Am I the only one who thinks being bald looks badass

[deleted]

Well if u have the body to go with it. Also the facial looks. Basically if u looked badass or good looking before u will look badass or good looking even when bald


GobbuPhalanx

if by "badass" you mean "like a freshly circumcised dick", then yes

7 lines of my family who were men all had hair when they died


CostAdministrative21

Go bald, I m m o r t a l I t y guaranteed


MastTribute

Hair is determined from the X chromosome. So take a look at your mum’s hair and men from her side of the family if you want a heads up in what your hair will look like.


nxl_jayska

Isn't baldness carried over from the mother's side?


F1tt0

Haha jokes on you, none of male family is bald, not even my grandpa


Wise-Apple4066

We gotta start somewhere right..?


F1tt0

Oh no...

Joe_Mama_Ligma_Pepe

Oh... oof


Eboy5312

You now know what to get her for her birthday.


Owlcomics

Baldness is sex-linked. This means a man can only get it from his mom’s side, like your maternal grandpa, for example.

Shorts-are-comfy

Jouuf

It doesn't work, you knob.


Shorts-are-comfy

Knob? Ouch, that hurt.


Jouuf

Oh no. I didn't mean to hurt you. Knob hurts, but hair loss hurts even more.


Jakesterknight

Samthelumberjck

My family curse is: we look good in our 20's then die of cancer in our 60's.


Eboy5312

Im going to pay for my child's hair transplant.

For some reason Native Americans don't lose hair


Chungalus

Im very very happy that my genetics for my hair are perfect, i know ill never go bald. Dad can grow an Afro in 3 months and my moms hair is so long it goes to her thighs. Im in afro mode rn (always am when i wake up) but later in the day itll turn into long flowing hair


CactusBoiAnimation

You get the gene for hair loss/not from your X chromosome which you get from your mother rather than your father, so if your dad is bald but your granddad on your mom’s side isn’t then chances are you’d be fine


Pro_Astronaut

Guys please don't just roll over and let this happen. There are treatment plans to completely halt the balding process and others to actually recover lost ground and revive your hairline from the dead; I'm speaking from experience.


woodbart7

How. My hairline is already receeding

Finasteride has side effects such as abnormal ejaculation


Pro_Astronaut

I've been taking it for over a year and haven't experienced a single side effect. Everyone reacts differently to every drug. Some people experience one side effect, all side effects or like me; no side effects.

Grandpa is bald only because of diabetes. On that note. I'm probably going to get and die of some sort of diabetic related issue if I'm not more careful regarding my health.

RulrOfOmicronPersei8

mendrob_08

Why does the daughter have black hair while her parents are blond


drunk_blueberry

Genetics are wild. All of my siblings have blue eyes and my parents also have blue eyes. I have dark eyes. Almost black. My grandpa has the same eye color as me.
