Well, it is a bit hard to say since you didn't put your gender. Male baldness seems to be related to testosterone levels. The length of your ring finger is supposed to be a good indication of your testosterone level - long = high. Long is if it is longer than your middle finger or much the same length. If it is high then you might get male pattern baldness - receeding hairline. If your dad has not gone bald and your hair looks like his then you'll probably be more likely to be like him than your maternal grandfather. Keep an eye on your brother too - whatever happens to him is quite likely to happen to you. Try not to stress about this - stress can make your hair fall out! Hope this helped Yvonne
