I think if neighboring tissues are involved, it is not the skin and its density, but the density/length/tension/elasticity of the aponeurotic galea in the first place, then the subcutaneous tissue. Connective tissue fibroblasts express many androgens, actually in the follicle itself the cells that express DHT are fibroblasts from the connective tissue of the dermal papilla.Bs. My hairline where im receeded the skin There is thick and loose u can even pinch it but the rest of scalp is tighter. I started losing hairline first. Most peoples scalps are tight with no hairloss. Even womens. I know a guy with nw0 and his scalp is just as loose as mine but im balding and he isnt.
In addition, in women tendons are less dense, more elastic and longer.
So, tendons can express not only DHT, but also many other substances that can influence and reconstruct neighboring tissues.
In this regard, we can pay attention to Davis' law
