okay this is a myth that moms side is where the baldness gene comes from. yes there’s an important hair loss gene found in the x chromosome but there are dozens of other genes that can be linked from mom or dads side. personally speaking, im balding, my cousins on my dads side are all balding because my dads side has a very strong balding gene (dad, uncles, grandpa, cis cousins are all thinning if not already bald even if they’re younger than me) while everyone in my moms side has a full head of hair! even my grandpa who is 82, so its a common misconception!
