A question for everyone, who have you inherited your hair characteristics from?

Color
Thickness
Hairline

And more importantly is the parents side you have inherited the same characteristics from balding?

i got my hair thickness from my mums side and balding at the front from my dads side. he is just over 50 and still has some hair but my brother only 3 years older than me is pretty bald and he was a lot balder than what I am at my age. Colour of my hair i think came from both side of my family. I had blonde hair until about the age 13 then my hair turned black.

Though I inherited my thick hair from my mother, I inherited my male pattern baldness from my father, since my mums dad had a full head of hair the time he died in his 70's.

My mom had dark brown hair and my dad had really dark, almost black hair before theirs went grey. Mine is light brown, and was very blond as a kid. Maybe I get my color from my paternal granddad whose hair was light brown too.
My hair was very thick before male pattern baldness struck. I think that's from my dad because his was very thick too up until his 20s.
My male pattern baldness I probably inherited from both sides. My dad, his two brothers, both my mom's brothers, and both my granddads developed male pattern baldness between the ages of 25 and 40. My mom's dad never went past about Nw3.5 though. My hair started thinning aggressively around the age of 26, and my hairline started receding and had reached Nw2.5 by age 27 when I begun treatment. Thanks to using Dutasteride for the last four years, now at age 31 I'm a thick Nw1.5-Nw2. Had I never treated it, I'm pretty sure I'd have followed in my father's footsteps and been half bald by now. My dad was about a Nw4.5 in his mid 30s, and is now a Nw7 at age 63.

Tho, my maternal uncle is 40 and balding in a A pattern, he is nw4A i think (his father, my grandfather was a solid nw1ish when he died) While my pternal grandfather is a nw3V (not very noticeable crown thinning) at the age of 95, my father is a nw0 at the age of 60 (and im a nw2-3 with 19 xd, f*** genetics)

My question is, if hairloss is heritable and i am balding in the same pattern than my grandfather, could it happen that i stop loosing hair when i hit nw3 or so like him?
