I noticed few risk factor that increase the risk of premature hair loss and those are

- Having a big forehead and big galea.
- Having bad vision - most people with hair loss are wearing glasses.
- Having poor cranial and facial features like rounded jawline, curved and small nose or crooked nose or oddly shaped head.

are you INSANE. there are so many mentally ill people on these forums LITERALLY making sh*t up. there are genes for EVERYTHING. hair loss is when your hair follicles are SENSITIVE to dht. that’s it. it’s completely independent from everything else you just said. you, are a moron .

It's not. If it was that simple we would have found a cure. Balding ares of the scalp do NOT have the same DHT levels as non balding areas. DHT levels are increased only on top mostly at the temples and vertex area.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14757277/

It's been discussed many times tha an inflammatory respose with dht to inflammation results in hair loss. It's your cranial and facial structure that is making you bald. Identical twins have the same cranofacial structure and have the same pattern and degree of hair loss. If you move the skin of the top of yoyr head and then move the sides you will notice that the skin of your galea is much tighter than the skin of your sides. Even on hairy heads. Some galeas are more tensile than others which makes the skin too tight and hair cannot grow anymore.
How tensile is your galea is dictade by genes affecting your head shape, head and neck muscles shape, your jawline your nose, cheekbones, palate, dermal sheath thickness, forehead etc...

Again I'm not suffering from any of your "factors" and I'm still balding (even tho it stopped for almost 2 years now and finasteride+minoxidil seem to be working already). It's the genes and not facial/cranial structure. It maybe has a little influence but the biggest culprit is DHT and the scalps sensitivity to it.

That is just a theory and is most likely incorrect. I read a long time ago, a scientist transplanted a thinning hair from his head to his forearm and the hair strand still experienced miniaturization.
It is not solely about skin tension, although it may be a factor.

Your forehead looks big. Don't you think that you have big forehead?

I don't have a big forehead. Close up shots throw proportions off. It's not small either but that's due to the recession and not because it was naturally big.

I don't think high forhead is the cause. My grandad is 92 and has a high forehead and never receded past NW2..

I wonder if skull shape is a factor for me. My hair recession completely follows the frontal bones above the forehead. I can feel that these are the highest pressure points. My brother's aren't receding at all and their skull shape is much more rounded, while I have a few ridges across my skull.

@Ritchie you are right. In the thread. @JohnSmith21 called me insane and mentally ill immediately. He probably realized that he is suffering from one or more of those factors. And those factors are really risk factors that increase the likelihood of hair loss in men.

his post was very irrational and he has a problem with what you are saying. I have seen stupid threads on this site like "maybe blood type has an effect on hair loss" and people respectfully disagreed with it without calling anyone mentally ill. Your post was very respectful and the idiot tells you that you are mentally ill for simply proposing a theory clearly shows that he's in serious denial.

I’m about a Norwood 1.5, and taking finasteride . I don’t have any of those “risk factors”. And where is there any scientific studies on this. There are plenty of women with weird heads why don’t they bald. Why would this make more dht get into the scalp lmao. It doesn’t make any sense and it’s clear both of you are mentally Ill because your working yourself Up on the internet about something that has 1. Zero evidence and 2. Nothing you can act on. If your absurd theory is true what are you gonna do about it change your head? Arnold Schwarzenegger had a perfect head of hair while on a massive amount of steroids. Now, as an older man he’s balding. His head shape didn’t change. He’s sensitivity to dht did. That’s all it is. And regardless of what’s causing your hair loss, you can still ONLY take finasteride, use Rogain, or micro needle. That’s it. So idk why ur giving yourself anxiety over some weird theory that has no proof, when you are going to continue doing the same treatments regardless.

Dht is sent as an anti inflamatory resonse because the scalp is inflamed and under tension. Also, not everything has been discovered by science yet. And this site is called 'hairlosstalk', where people come for advice, come to talk, share theories, etc. Mitko did nothing wrong and you came in like a little crybaby calling him mentally ill. You are the one in the wrong here for being disrespectful. And a lot of women with weird heads dont go completely bald but they have much thinner hair especially in the temples, some women even recede to a norwood 2 or higher. And this is an older thread, mitko has made it more clear what predisposes you to balding in his more recent threads. And if you do not suffer from his 'symptoms' yet you think you are balding then you are wrong, if you really are a norwood 1.5 it doesnt mean you are balding. Unless you've noticed thinning too. Also, how do you explain children that have receded hairlines? Like wayne rooney or many people on this site who claim (and also post pictures) they had receded hairlines as children too. The case with these children is that they didnt lose hair, hair just never grew in their norwood 0 areas even when the scalp is not under the influence of dht, because of their poorly shaped galea. Or have they just been sensitive to dht even as children??

Dht isn’t even an anti inflammatory lmfao , if anything it causes inflammation, it gives people acne. And again, what are you gonna do in response? Take finasteride ? Nice dude you could have saved yourself weeks of bugging out about your head lmao

I am not on finasteride. And you ignored my question and tried to be funny instead which you failed miserably at. Why do some children have receded hairlines?
