One question about genetics for experts:

I got the hair characteristics from my father like curly hair, nearly afro american. no otherone in my family has this kind of hair. Also the hairline is nearly like my fathers.

So do you think i will get the same hairloss as he got.
He is 60 now and is a beginning NW3 now.

Not so sure hair characteristics plays a part. My hair is curly like my mom's, dad's is pretty straight, yet i have his badling pattern.

nw2,

There is no guarnatee, hair characteristics or not, that you will have the same hair loss pattern as your father. I don't imagine that the same genes that cause hair loss are the same for hair characteristics. Maybe you'll be lucky and won't even lose your hair. On the other hand, if you do, it could be genetically linked to anyone else in your family, and even a combination.

Falc is right.

Baldness has not any reason . My dad has a full head of hair and his brother is a N7. Go figure???
