Genetics and baldness <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Genetics is directly related to hair thinning and baldness, especially in androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness. This type of genetic hair loss is influenced by baldness genes that determine the sensitivity of hair follicles to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In men, this type of baldness often manifests as a receding hairline or partial or total baldness on the crown. In women, it usually presents as a general thinning of the hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Androgenetic alopecia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hereditary hair loss is a polygenic trait, meaning multiple genes contribute to the development of baldness. Although it was traditionally thought that the main gene for baldness came from the mother, studies suggest that genetic factors are more complex, and genes from both parents may contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I know if I have hereditary-pattern baldness?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way to determine it is to analyze the pattern of hair loss in your family. If your parents, grandparents, or siblings experience male pattern baldness -or female-, you are likely to have a propensity for this condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a man, watch your hair shape. If you have this pattern, eventually the hair forms an “M” type, with pronounced entries or lack of hair on the crown. In women, hair is thinned, maintaining the front line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another aspect to consider is the age at which hair loss began. Hereditary baldness often begins between 20 and 30 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Alopecia
Alopecia androgenetic often begins at a very young age.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is important to consider baldness is not always hereditary. Other factors, such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, medical treatments, and hormonal changes, can contribute to hair thinning and hair loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
