Is male hair loss geneticly related to other family members.Do you receive this gene from a paticular relative

Male baldness is passed on through your mother.  If your maternal grandfather is bald, then your mothers son will have a higher chance of being bald.

If all bald faced liars are related-then yes!!! LOL!!!

This could very well be normal.  Some people have an odd system that causes them to grow hair in odd places.  Some women have facial mustaches, or beards-look at grandma if you want better ideas.  \n\nThere is also a condition that IS known to medical science where the person has an extra cromosome.  I know I read about this one chick that didn't realize how awkward her situation was until about 30 or something.  She married a man (apparently she was a normal everyday woman) and then discovered she could not conceive.  Several tests later, she discovered she could not conceive because this woman was technically supossed to be a male at birth, but for some reason the testosterone did not develope at the proper stage of fetis growth, so the remaining estrogen production continued.  I think her Chromosome situation was XYX?  Where only two chromosomes are required for "normal" humans to determine sex, she somehow had both sides of the coin with a odd "mutation" of sorts if you will pardon the crude word.  (Imagine if you have a string of letters making a sentence so that it makes sense to read aloud--ie DNA/gene sequence coding- but then, as the chain of letters is being read loud, someone else had the ability to grab on the the last word of the sentence and gain improper context of the sentence-a possible enzyme or hormone that triggers on the last chromosome, in this case incorrectly as she had three instead of two)\n\nIt is also possible that as your body matures and grows with age, medication, and cell stimulation (whatever the cause of this cell stemulation is) might be manipulating your hormone production as it does with certain grandma's causeing odd things to happen to their bodies.  It is not uncommon.\nIf you are actually this worried about your gender, please...by all means see a doctor and validate your concerns with your doctor.  the Doc will definitely do what it takes to satisfy your curiousity, although I am certain it will end up costing quite a bit in lab tests and result confirmations.

dyeing them if not that way than through family genes

Nearly all the skin of the human body except palms of hands and soles of feet is covered with hairs. The density of the hairs (in hair follicles per square centimeter) thickness of the hairs, color of the hairs, speed of hair growth, and qualities such as kinkiness, vary from one part of the body to another, and from one person to another. All of these features have strong genetic determinants, as demonstrated by the heritability of these qualities.\n\nDoctors generally distinguish scalp hair, vellus hair, and androgenic (terminal) hair. \n\nVellus hair is the hair on the rest of the body which has not been stimulated and transformed by sex hormones. Androgenic hair is the hair that greatly increases in heaviness and rate of growth with puberty.

When my brother was younger, he had the exact same thing happen to him.  Your hair loss could be "Alopecia Areata".  It's a type of hair loss that occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, which where hair growth begins.  Experts don't know why this happens.  Alopecia is most common in people younger than 20, but can occur in children and adults of all ages.

yes, hormones play a big role.\nAlso, hair pattern is heredetary.\nLook at your Mom's Dad & brothers. Your hair pattern follows the men on your mother's side of the family.

Yes it is. You'd be surprised at the recessive genes  a lot of black  folks have, so they may just look like the average person of African decent but they may have a lot of other genes from other groups dormant in their genetic code. So it is entirely possible that the child could have straight hair.

by the time .... it may be genetic.... sometime people loose hair in early age .... same kind of problem .... do not worry... if until you are 29 or 30

People go bald because of an overproduction of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). I have had several bald friends, and they all felt good about themselves.

bud_leaf_... answered it for me, but generally, if you put all of the generation on a pedigree (a family tree that lists similar traits), the carrier always passes the genes on to the offsspring. because the carrier gences are both recessive, if the person mates with another carrier, or a victim the offspring WILL get the disease, unless if it is genetically altered. if the carrier mates it a non carrier with  dominant gene (example, Tt) the offspring will be a carrier. If the mate does not have the disease with both dominant(TT) the offspring will either not be a carrier, or be a carrier. but with the case of hemophelia,it is a sex-linked disease, so the males will be more likely to get it because they have ONLY ONE X CHROMOSOME, WHILE FEMALES HAVE TWO, WHERE THE SECOND  X ACTS AS A BACKUP. THe females will be carriers, while, sadly, the males will be victims. That is a example of a SEX-LINKED DISEASE. It really depends on what type the disease is, though (sex-linked, or just genetic)

Yes. The National Institute of Mental Health says that more than two-thirds of people with bipolar disorder have at least one close relative with the illness or with clinical, or "unipolar," depression. Read more about the link between genetics and bipolar disorder.\n\nBipolar disorder runs in the family\nA person with close relatives who have bipolar disorder is more likely to be affected by the illness—this is what is known as a "genetic predisposition." Not everyone with the condition has relatives with bipolar disorder. But, according to the Child & Adolescent Bipolar Foundation, your chance of developing the illness greatly increases if you have a family history: \n\n\nParents—When one parent is bipolar, each child has a 15%-30% chance of developing the condition. When both parents have the illness, the risk jumps to between 50% and 75%.\n\n\nSiblings—If you have a brother or sister with bipolar disorder, you have a 15% to 25% chance of developing the illness.\n\n\nIt is important to stress that some people with the illness have no family history whatsoever.

yes, i used to have it. I had long beatiful hair at one time. But i pulled it all out and yeah i was completly bald. It was caused by stress. I was about 13 at the time. and had just told my parents about a very traumatic thing that had happened to me. So much was going on at the time, i guess that is the only way i felt i could deal with it. I didn't have control of the situation at all. and it was very hard on me, and hard to accept. But i hope things will get better for your daughter. They did for me. It took about 3 yrs. until it completely stopped for me. Now i have a full head of hair. and things are starting to look up for me. I wish the best for you and your daughter. Take care and God bless. If you want to know anything more about my experience, you can email me if you want.

Genetics have a lot to do with how each male can or can not grow facial hair. Look around the males in your family, ask them questions about it. \n\nSome boys start shaving what is called "peach fuzz" to get the facial fuzz to become coarse and more hair like. But I would talk to your parents first and get a male to show you how to shave first. Talk to your parents about this. I have found the only stupid questions are those unasked. You're 15, you are at the right age to know this stuff from your parents. Its time to ask.

Oh yes, it certainly does!  Study after study has conclusivly shown there is a corelation between the two in addition to the fact that those who come from a family line that tends to be long also seem to have something with it that helps them recover from major diseases as well.  No one is sure what it is but it does seem to be there and linked.

Yes it is a normal process for both men and women. You have been losing hair since the day you were born. Don't worry it grows back.

they have a gene that causes them not to be hairy
