it's good to know you're never go bald

(sources: my mom's dad died with jet black hair, my grandfather died with red hair, my dad still has lengthy brown hair, all of my uncles on my mom's side have thick hair)

Bald guys are sexy. I always want to touch their heads.

10/25/2009 2:45:33 PM

i'll shave my head so you can touch it

10/25/2009 2:47:41 PM

i'm not even 30 yet and my hair is long past the stage of trying to use rogaine or any of that mess.


on the plus side, I'm not losing the hair... it is just migrating to my back, etc.

All that matters is if your maternal grandfather still has his hair or died with his hair. That's where you get your baldness from.

^ If it comes through the female side, why would it matter if your maternal grandfather had hair or not?

"The explanation is that the genetic reason for Pattern Baldness is linked to your mother's X-Chromosome. Everyone get one-half of their genetic make-up from their mother and their father. The final chromosome pair of the 23 pairs is the sex determining set. While males are XY and females are XX the determination of an individuals sex is made by the father. It is the father who gives either the X chromosome, which matches with the woman’s X resulting in XX and a female child or the Y chromosome which joins with the woman’s X resulting in an XY match and a male child. It is the X chromosome or female sex chromosome that contains the gene for Male Pattern Baldness. "

Doesn't mean it has to come from your grandfather, could come from your grandmother also, who got it from her father (or mother), etc.

anti-post

My dad was already bald when he was my age

10/25/2009 5:19:24 PM

I hope I don't go bald

10/25/2009 5:37:18 PM

^^You don't get your baldness gene from your dad.

10/25/2009 5:38:13 PM

I probably will, but it isn't baldness that bothers me. Rather, it is that awkward stage between haired life and baldness when you must always ask yourself . . . is it time? Is it now?
