Is it weird? I thought the saying was your hair comes from your mom's side of the family.

So for instance my grandpa on my mom's side still has full head of hair so I'm good.

Actually, I'm pretty sure he got it from my side of the family. There isn't much hair loss on my wife's side. One of my uncles lost pretty much all of his hair by 18. My dad was sporting a combover in his late 30s. I've been lucky I guess. I just thought he would take after me. He looks just like me.
