Gross question, does being dirty exacerbate baldness?

[ahappycamper]

I know that showering everyday does NOT exacerbate hair loss and that it is a myth, however, just for curiosity sakes, what about the opposite? If somebody was a piggy slob that went one or two weeks without showering, would they be making their hair loss worse?

Nope, actual male pattern baldness is 100% genetic and there is almost nothing you can do.

Ever see some of those homeless dirty slob guys on the side of the road with full heads of hair?

No, that's 100% false, although given the looks of disdain I sometimes get from young women for my baldness, I do sometimes wonder if people buy into this theory...

Or maybe they think baldness is some kind of venereal disease?
