As people age, the sands of time pour quicker towards the bottom of the rush hour glass. With each passing grain, the body goes through a grisly transformation until one day it simply shrivels up completely…this would be called death.
Unfortunately some people survive the changes and just look like death reheated in a really big microwave. The usual metamorphosis begins when a person starts accumulating more hair on the back, ears and in their nose than on the head…this also occurs in men.
Why does one person end up looking like Friar Tuck having merry times in a forest with Robin while another one gets the chicks…even though his parents christened him with a name like Fabio.
Speaking of mom and dad-who’s responsible for passing on the hairless gene to the offspring? If they both look like Chewbacca your odds of needing to buy shampoo in the later years is pretty good but so are your odds of living alone.
If your hairstyle doesn’t match up with any branch on the family tree, you may want to ask mom about those overnight deliveries from UPS.
Most people have heard that the odds of developing genetic baldness depends on whether their maternal grandfather had a chrome dome but this is not always true.
Up until now, the scientific evidence had only isolated a single androgen receptor gene located on the X-chromosome which meant that the hairless trait had to be passed onto a son through their mother…kind of like the recipe for meat loaf.
However, recent research out of Germany and Japan has revealed two other important hair-loss genes found on different chromosomes which can be inherited from both the mother and father.
This exciting news means that a bald man can blame the hair not on his head because of DNA rather than mom’s DAD.
