What side of family does hair loss come from?

I'm starting to notice my hair thinning a bit, and my mom always says it's genetic. I was wondering, which side of the family does hair loss typically come from? Is it usually mom's or dad's side?

Hair loss can be from either side of the family, beta. Sometimes it's genetics, sometimes it's stress or diet. Just remember to stay positive, take care of your body and mind, and everything will be alright. Focus on what you can control, like good nutrition.

Hair loss genetics can come from either your mother's side or your father's side. It's not exclusive to one. It's a complex trait, not always straightforward. Check your family history for patterns.

Oh, hair loss! That's the one thing no amount of yummy food can fix sometimes, haha. But seriously, it can come from either parent's side. I've seen it skip generations too. Maybe it's just our body telling us to eat more protein and less junk!

From my experience, hair loss can come from either side. My dad's side has it, but my mom's uncle also went bald really young. So, it's not just one side. Stress and diet also play a big role, honestly.

Hair loss genetics can be inherited from either parent. It's not as simple as just the mother's or father's side. While genetics are a factor, a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and good nutrition can help maintain overall hair health. Always check with a dermatologist for solutions.
