Why is baldness more common in males than females?
Baldness is more common in males than females because of genetic factors. The main gene responsible for male pattern baldness is located on the X chromosome, which males inherit from their mothers. This genetic predisposition makes males more likely to experience hair loss compared to females.
Is baldness quickened by hair length or long hair?
No. Since hair grows from the root, the length of the hair makes no difference. Baldness is caused by a number of factors which are only partially understood; but the primary one is genetics.Because the main gene that determines baldness is located on the X chromosome, men (who only have one copy of that gene, good or bad) are far more likely to be affected by baldness. And in general, men wear their hair much shorter than women do.
