Male pattern baldness is a sex linked trait (meaning it is contained on the X chromosome). Since males inherit the Y chromosome from their fathers, the X chromosome comes from the mother, and if the X chromosome she passes to her son happens to contain the defective form of the gene controlling male pattern baldness...
...well, I hear Rogaine for men works well...
...basically the long and the short of it is that if your mother had brothers or a father with male pattern baldness...there is AT LEAST a 50% chance you will have the condition...

Baldness comes from the mother's side. If her father, grandfather or brothers are/were bald, you probably will be too.

If you noticed you are losing hair, change to a natural shampoo. That will help... I don't think is a genetic problem...
Go natural, stop the chemicals on your scalp,they are killing it...

The genetics books tell us that you are destined to have your mothers father hair (your grandfather).
