what causes baldness and how can I avoid it?

the gene that controls hair loss is passed down by both parents but the mothers gene is dominant, that means that only the mothers genes will affect your hair loss. if you want to know if you will lose your hair just ask your mother about her family history in that category.

and like FT says just eat healthy and goes easy on hair products, but if hair loss is in your mothers family than you are bound to lose some hair eventually.

It just genetics.

Eat healthy and go easy on the styling products.
