@post
yes, baldness is heredity,  a   gene that may run in the family from one gen to another ( grandpa has it, but dad might not show signs of it, but then the son might end up showing signs of alopecia ). . but  based on observations made on net (just now  Grin), baldness occurs from diff factors: hereditary factors, aging, diseases affecting the entire body, scalp disorders, ionizing radiation, and reaction to drugs.

men are not the only one that get hairbaldness, women also get the disorder.Women become bald less often than men, but they carry the genes that determine pattern baldness and pass them on to their children.

Several diseases, particularly those characterized by prolonged high fevers, may cause baldness. Typhoid fever or scarlet fever can cause sudden loss of hair from the head or entire body. Gradual loss of hair may be caused by malnutrition, disorders of the endocrine system, drug poisoning, and other diseases. Alopecia universalis causes a permanent and total loss of hair over the entire body including the eyebrows and eyelashes. The cause of alopecia universalis is unknown.

The main cause of male pattern baldness is the presence of excess male hormones.
We all know about testosterone but another hormone similar to it called dihydrotestosterone attacks the hair follicles and cause most baldness.
We know there's a correlation between increased  testosterone and virility does that mean bald men are tigers in the bedroom? Lips sealed Lips sealed Lips sealed

women also have male hormones and as women get older and the levels of their female hormones e.g estrogen decrease,the male hormones are relatively at a higher level so our hair begin to thin out after 30 Cry Cry Cry

@Gamine lmao
more causes of baldness :
Accumulation of oil or seborrhea on scalp and the blocking of pores where the hair follicles are located.
Lack of adequate vitamins and proteins needed for hair growth.
Hair loss can be more prevalent when the person is under excessive stress, suffers from anorexia nervosa, or dyes his/her hair.and for women,holding of hair tightly during weaving or fixing of weave on

Is this a question or what? To think that you actually labeled someone else as being dumb! Undecided

So it is only guys that go bald in your own world? Grin

Never a dull moment with Gamine herself. Grin

Are you going to do a fund raising campaign for Bald men?

Have you heard of the Maasai women? Grin

You can google them out.

I aint knocking bald women but in my contention beauty extends to the hair with females.

Brothers such as myself like to run my fingers through a lady with long hair.

No tracks, pins, glues, wigs, or any tool you have up your hair for me.

I've heard many other Nigerian boys saying this. You like to run your hands through a girls hair right? How many black girls do you know with naturally straight long hair? You yourself is your hair long and straight? Genetically blacks have curly hair because of the round shape of the hair follicle in the scalp now it is nearly impossible to get a 100% black girl with the features you want. You can't have your cake and eat it. Now if you prefer white girls or girls from other races that have such races then that is understandable but if you want a black girl with such a hair that is not relaxed and even relaxed hair does not equal length then your demands are almost impossible.
