***** Positive Thinking, Happy Living

Most people assume that male pattern baldness is genetic. In fact, there is even evidence that shows that the "baldness gene" is passed down from the mother's side of the family. However, I'd like to propose that "genetic baldness" is not a done deal. I believe there is a PROCLIVITY towards baldness that is passed down and inherited. But the actual hair loss occurs when this genetic tendency is COMBINED with certain lifestyle events.
