What Role Do Genetics Play In Baldness?
Though the inherent pattern of baldness is unclear, your genetic constitution can play a role in the development of a receding hairline or the patchy bald areas. It could mean that your hair follicles are genetically more susceptible to the effects of DHT. Since women have small amounts of DHT, it could also affect them if they are genetically predisposed. Unlike an earlier belief that hair loss is inherited from the mother’s side, it is now known that hair loss can be inherited from both maternal and paternal sides.
