Is It Possible To Go Bald If No One In Your Family Is

[Jamie1311]

I know this is a really simple question but I can't find an answer anywhere.

Everyone in my family has a full head of hair however I have noticed my hairline go back slightly over the last few months (the hairs are growing back which I assume is a good thing) I know hormones can play a part but is it at all possible I will end up with bad hair loss.

Also if this is useful information I'm 16 and have noticed a great deal of body hair growth in the time my hair has been shedding including some facial hair for the first time

To answer your question: Yes, it is possible.

The key terms, you are searching for, are "mutation" and "recombination". Without it there would be no evolution.

What a great response!

Yes it is. My friend who is 22 is a NW3 and his 3 brothers who are quite older than him are between NWs1 and 2. The father is NW2 in his 60s. All his relatives I've met have had good hair ( by no means perfect )
I also know someone else who has amazing hair for his age (35) and Norwood 1.5 at the worst. All his family are bald with the exception of the ladies. Its rare but it does happen unfortunately, I'm the youngest one to bald in my family. I'm Norwood 2.2 at 20 with a brother who is now 31 and NW1. Feels bad

Yesiree.

Almost certainly yes, as balding is due to a combination of many different genes.

Possible? Yes. But it is very very unlikely.
