It used to be believed that your mom's side of the family was the one to blame for baldness. But scientists now say your dad probably made you bald, too, with a gene that they haven't found yet.

Women Like Hair -- You might want to snag your lady before baldness rocks your world. According to one survey, 25 percent of women wouldn't date a bald guy.
