How it works?
1. Its about Increased DHT levels in norms? high testosterone to DHT ratio or High dht to testosterone or even Estrogen ratio?
2. Even with 70% decreased dht hair follicle will hang last of 30% of DHT?
3. Why we loosing more hairs when we are older?
4. Do 50% of decreasing DHT will help to hold gains with guy of NW1?
5. Why sometimes people with low DHT loosing they hairs faster than people with normal/high dht - All in all Only people with bald genes.
6. If finasteride and dutasteride decreasing almost 70%finasteride and 90 %dutasteride of DHT why someone still sheds ?

If your knowledge is enough to fill one of these questions. Please, answer and reply. Thanks!

Figuring out how it works is less important IMO then doing something about it. minoxidil or finasteride pick one and get started on the path to action or accept male pattern baldness and move on. Nothing else you can do. You cant change higher T or higher estrogen or much else without breaking a lot of other things in the process.

There was a study (can't find it now> FOUND IT: https://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/threads/the-myth-of-male-pattern-baldness.63760/ ) that found that balding men actually have less DHT than non-bading men. So by that logic probably the DHT receptors (in scalp) have higher affinity for it. I consider it a normal function of something we don't understand, that is hairloss is body's way of regulating itself on some imbalance, perhaps vitamin D (this theory i've written about before: https://www.hairlosstalk.com/intera...state-cancer-by-increasing-uv-exposure.97323/ )

This is an interesting theory.
I also think that baldness must have had some secondary advantage, otherwise it wouldn't have lasted so many eras. For some reasons, the genes of bald men have some advantage over those of non bald men to compensate the aesthetical disadvantages.

Genetics period. I believe the answer to most of your questions is some men are more sensitive to dht, doesn't matter how high or low the levels are (I believe). Just look at some pro bodybuilders with hardcore steroids and test/dht levels WAY above normal ranges...yet some bald while others dont
