People That Can Gow A Beard More Likely To Go Bald?

[ozm8ey]

I read that people that can grow a beard are more likely to go bald than someone who cant grow a beard. What do you guys think?

In the past, many semi-scientific articles postulated that
- chest hair
- a thick beard
signaled that you had a lot of testosterone and would probably go bald.
In later years, though, science showed it is not testosterone that makes hair fall. It is your hair follicle's sensitivity to its byproduct DHT.
In fact, you can see people with next to no chest hair whose hair is also thinning.

I'd just say it's a lot more likely, but it's no rule.

I actually don't think it is correlated whatsoever. I am balding and can't grow facial hair and also have like no body hair. I think the reason so many bald people have beards is because that is just the trend these days: if your going bald grow out a beard.
