Will I go bald too?

“Will I go bald too?”

Obviously, you inherit a whole set of genes from your parents, including those linked to the hair growth cycle. So when men ask themselves this question, they look at their fathers and grandfathers. If the father and grandfather are bald, the son will have a much greater chance of going bald.
Androgenetic alopecia is directly related to the action of dihydrotestosterone (a male hormone present in both sexes) on the hair follicle, which shortens the hair growth cycle and produces increasingly fine, weak hair that eventually falls out.
In men, this type of alopecia tends to follow the male pattern, which is defined by initial hair loss occurring at the front hairline. The process subsequently affects the crown and then extends to the rest of the head (leaving the occipital area unaffected).
The age at which this process appears in men is before the age of 30 in the first peak and after the age of 40 in the second peak.
Men who start to lose their hair between the ages of 20 and 30 have a greater chance of losing more hair than those who experience hair loss at a later stage.
