Is it true that a person's hair type is inherited only from their mother?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially address the claim: one discusses how a baldness-related gene variant is inherited from the mother while noting other genes also contribute, and another notes hair texture can reflect ethnic ancestry. Neither directly settles whether hair type is inherited only from the mother.
