Better Predictor Of Hair Loss, Paternal Or Maternal Family?

[BlueFly]

Which is a better predictor of hair loss, your fathers side of the family or mothers? I have always heard the mothers side is alot better of a predictor. I just want to see if that's true from experience.

Thanks.

It is impossible to know to be honest. You could be getting it from anywhere really. As long as there is balding going on somewhere in your family, doesn't matter which side, you'll have risk of developing it.

Thanks for this. I skimmed it over, but will give it a better read later. Basically like @Raphael13 said its almost impossible to determine haha.
