Question to those that are bald or going bald

[Ranger X]

Is it true that baldness skips a generation? I don't believe in that because my grandfather is bald and he has children that are bald and not bald so it's not very accurate to just say it skips a generation.

Also, is it true that if you're curious about baldness you should look at the male baldness on your mother's side of the family?

False

True

i don't know the answers to your questions. however, i'm starting to go bald, but my brothers aren't. i don't worry about it too much. if it gets too badf, i'll just shave me head.

Do you have a head shape that can work with no hair? I think most of us don't and will look silly with a shaved head.

Brutuskend, if what you're saying is true then I'm in the clear. No one on my mom's side is even close to going bald. 😀

Both are false. Mom's brothers (4 of 'em) have full heads of hair, dad's side, including dad (4 of 'em) are all bald. I'm balding.

My mom's brothers are going bald, as am I. My dad is clean bald, but none of my brothers show a sign of baldness.
