    Default Hair loss and your maternal side: which applies to you?

    My grandfather lost his hair.
    My grandmother's relatives all died with thick heads of hair, thanks to our Cape Verdean genes.

    Therefore my chance is 50%, but most hair loss begins between 18 and 25 and I have a full head of hair, with no receding hairline at all.

    You should look at your maternal side uncles. I am lucky on this matter My grandfather didn't lost his hair either they just went white.

    I have no maternal uncles.

    Rather, all of the men on my Polish side have lost hair, none of the men on my Portuguese/Cape Verdean side did.

    So this leaves me with 50/50 chance and so far, nothing.

    Apparently though they now say it is a myth it is from the mother's side, only that your mother's side can give you some risk factors. Your hair loss is dependent on a complex combination of genes from both parents.

    Both of my maternal grandparents had or have a full head of hear with minimal baldness. One of my maternal uncles is 61 and nearly completely bald (Norwood 6). Has been this way since he was at least 40.

    I'm 23 and just started losing hair 1.5 years ago. But it's not male pattern baldness. No receding hairline or thinning of the crown. Just the top of my head is thin. It's probably due to Vitamin deficiency.

    Since May, I'm taking Rogaine and vitamin supplements. Not seeing any improvements yet.
