hey doc i was wondering a few things, the men on my mothers side of the family are all bald and not to tall… the men on my fathers side all have full heads of hair and are tall.. in the 6 foot 5 area.. me and my brother are that tall as well..does hair colour have anything to do with the balding gene?
lets say my father was born blonde then turned brunette and i was just born light haired brunette then turned dark hair brunette… and my mothers side are just brunette
does that mean i will go bald cause my hair colour or are those different genes?
Balding genes and genes that control hair color are not related. Looking to your parents and their parents, brothers and uncles will tell you what you might inherit. If you are over 30 and have no balding, then you may not be balding. Hair color does change with age.

returned from dermatologist for frequent balding on different parts of head, not aleopecia. After treatment with injections of steriods and rogain hair usually returns. This time I am balding so badly on the left side that I changed my part to the other side which easily covers up the left side due to it’s rapid growth. Given more injections today the Dr. said he was at a loss for an explaination? I feel its related to stress as the seems to coincide with the loss. What do you think? He took a hair sample and said some to the hairs were tiny and not delevopled the others were okay? Will the left side return. The stress is now leaving my situation?
Loosing hair on primarily left side to head. So much so that I changed my part and the right side completly covers the left. I have had this same experience on other parts of my head over the past 12 years usually when under stree. The dermotoligist is at a loss as to the cause and at my request gave me injections and I’ll apply rogain this has help completely restore my hair in the past even thought doctors cannot dianose the problem and say it will not help. What’s going on? I have notices the loss occurs after a lot of stress. Dr. say it’s not related? any ideas, will my left side come back or the right side catch up? Thank you. T. Neil
