We all know that hairloss, pattern, amount, etc is 99% genetic.

What i've heard is that the main people to look in your family at are father, and grandfathers.

Is there any consensus if that's it? Are there any people out there balding while their father and both grandfathers didn't? Did they then follow the pattern of say, an uncle or even a great uncle?

Personally I'm asking because until now (22) i've followed my grandfather [on my motherside] close to exact balding pattern (nw3 early and then stops for like 20 years) while no one on my father's side had premature balding.
