Baldness doesn't bother me anyway now, because I wear a very good hair system. And I should know, I wouldn't have anything on my head that LOOKS like a wig.

agreed MPB can come from either side of the family and often skips generations...i.e. my moms dad has a full head of hair while my dads father doesnt. guess what genetics i got? you guessed it, my dads father. My dad has a descent head of hair.
Genetics suck!!!!

That's wrong.
Hair loss is not strictly inherited from the maternal side of the family. It can come from either side. The percentage that most doctors site is;
51% maternal side 48% paternal it can also skip a generation. It is a very complex gene.
You should check out the below link. It is from Robert Bernstein's website.
He is an expert on hair loss and hair restoration.

MBP can be inherited from both sides of the family and not just from the mother's side. This has been listed as one of the hair loss myths in many articles.
As for medications, there's the big 3 (minoxidil, finasteride and ketoconazole) but you amy want to consult with your dermatologist or doctor before taking anything.

No actually she was wrong. I've recently learned in a newer human growth class it's from both parents.

I'd be inclined to say that baldness definitely originates more from your maternal side rather than your father's side. They say that baldness is a result of how the androgen receptors on your head interact with dihyro-testosterone. And you get the androgen receptor genes solely from your mother's side of the family.
