I don't know if anyone has said this yet. The gene for male pattern alopecia is inherited through your mother. If her father was bald there's a good chance that you may become bald, but of course there are other factors. My husband's hair started thinning but it has stopped. His maternal grandfather was bald, so there. My brother on the other hand has lost his hair, and our maternal grandfather was bald.
Interestingly, my two uncles' (brothers of my mum) hair started thinning over a decade or two ago, but then it stopped for them, and they never went bald. Perhaps that will happen to me?

Have you been to a dermotologist? Also, you might want to look at your nutrition, I think particularly your vitamin b intake, although I am no expert on this. Are you experiencing any stress? These are all factors that may affect hair loss. Good luck. I wish you the best.
Haven't been to a dermotologist yet. It's on my to-do list, but it's not really within my budget to do such a thing.
I don't think the hair loss can be attributed to nutrition, as the hair loss has been a slow theme over the past 2-3 years. Also, stress isn't really a huge problem for me in life.
