TLDR No link between hair loss and blood groups or Rhesus factor.

A study with 207 patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and 642 healthy individuals found no significant difference in blood groups and Rhesus factor between the two groups, concluding that there is no relationship between AGA and blood groups or Rhesus factor. AGA is a hair loss condition influenced by androgen levels, age, and genetics, and may also be linked to systemic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes.
