Does male baldness really come from your mothers father?

1.24K views

I was wondering how this works as I’ve read up on it but I am still very confused. I am 20 and have a full head of hair. My father who is 54, also has a full head of hair but it is fine to where I can see his scalp. He also has a receding hairline. My fathers father has a full head of hair and he is 82 but had the same type of hair as my father. My mothers father has a full head of good hair and his father did too. BUT my grandmothers from my mothers side and my fathers side both had fathers that were bald which worries me a lot. Does this mean I will go bald or do I only need to look at my mothers fathers hair to know if I will go bald or not.

Thank you so much.

It genetically can come from your mother or father’s genetics. Because that’s how genetics works. Your DNA is part of your dad’s and part of your mom.
