Baldness in the Family?

A worry wart, I certainly am and I found out that baldness runs in my family. My two uncles who had thick heads of hair when they were younger started to lose it as they got older. My mom reported that she caught a glimpse of a bald spot on my brother's head recently. I haven't seen him for awhile so I cannot attest to it but this concerns me very much.


I have two sons and I know they don't want to lose their hair. Although baldness was thought to be inherited from the mother, androgenic alopecia has been shown it can be inherited from the mother or the father's side.

My sons may have to check out the Philadelphia hair restoration site because I know they will want to do something about it if they should go bald.

There hasn't been any baldness on my husband's side of the family so that is good news but it's one more thing that I have to be concerned with.
