Genetics mostly comes down to probability. That means something can be more likely to happen but isn't guaranteed.

Let's pretend and say that a gene like that has an 80% chance to be passed down. That would mean that each person mathematically has a 4/5 chance to get it, and a 1/5 chance not to get it.

Consider yourself blessed to inherit those better hair genes!

Me and my 3 siblings beat that probability's ass, we all have glorious hair (like dad), and our mom has very little hair since her 30-40's and her dad was bald.

The likeliness just kept going up with each child. I am now glad my mom didn't birth a fifth. We are truly TRULY blessed.

This actually helps me. I guess I won the genetic lottery, but was always hung up on "it didn't happen to me and caused me stress to think about" and didn't take the time to think I may just be the exception, not the rule. I sincerely thank you.
