"Hereditary hair loss or alopecia androgenetica is different from alopecia androgenica. The latter is not hereditary hair loss and mainly affects men and women in later years usually after the age of 50 and is caused by a combination of the hormone DHT and age.
Hereditary hair loss is passed down just as much from the father's side of the family as the mother's side and could in some cases skip a generation."
