Baldness is dominant in men. That means if you receive a baldness gene from either of your parents, you will be bald. If you receive one from both of your parents you will be bald very young. For women it's different, it takes two genes to make a woman bald, but because of their hormones, they never go completely bald. Their hair just goes thinner.
