Popular Misconceptions
For many years our schools have taught that hair loss is always
inherited from the mother's father. Medical science now knows that
baldness genes are passed down from both sides of the family.
They also can skip generations, and are utterly random in terms of
which siblings they will affect; it is quite common for a man keep a
full head of hair while his brother goes bald in his twenties.
If you are
concerned about excessive hair loss or dramatic thinning use the
Self Assessment form or
telephone 0800 614853 (Overseas +44 1924
