Regular Member Recession1 Posted July 15, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 15, 2023 I know you can pick up hair loss genes from both sides of the family. Whose pattern did you guys follow mom or dad’s side? Anybody out there who has dad that is NW6 that isn’t developing NW 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted July 15, 2023 Moderators Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) My moms side has a couple of NW 7s, so I ended up with that, although I think my dad's grandfather was a NW 6. Anyway, my dad at 92 years old has more hair than I had when I was 21. Edited July 15, 2023 by BeHappy Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Senior Member GoliGoliGoli Posted July 16, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Dads side. My dad and his younger brother actually have full hair to this day despite being in their early/mid 60's. However their older brother is Norwood 4.5 in late 60s (Maybe 70s?) and their father (my grandfather) also progressed to NW 5 by his 70s/80s. Both of them progressed veeery slowly though with gradual hair loss that started young but never "exploded". My grandfather was a huge photo taker so I'm able to track his hair loss at different ages through the years. He started losing his hair in his mid 20's (Around same time I did) but by 55 was still NW4. My uncle seems to have followed a similar path of slow gradual loss. I'm hoping that I'm on that same route as it at least makes me a good candidate for HT's. My moms side has basically no hair loss - at least none in her father or any of her 4 brothers. My older brother (Who looks like my mom's side) has a great head of hair - literally NW0 at 37. I look more like my dads side and seemed to have inherited their pattern of hair loss as well.

Regular Member YodaHead Posted July 17, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 17, 2023 I once heard a HT surgeon saying that your grand mother’s (maternal) hair is usually a good indicator. 12.5k grafts with Dr. Felipe Pitella in Jan 2024.
