hey everyone l am new to this forum and would love to share my hypothesis on what l believe to cause hair loss sorry if my english is not the best or if this gets long winded, l am 27 and noticed that l was losing my hair at about 22 really fast I was eating terribly at the time but once I started my trade (plumbing) it slowed down massively I think now I'm maybe a norwood 1-1.5 and believe being active and getting more sun has contributed to the slowing down of my hair loss, I've done all the bull**** diets keto, primal and paleo and been trying to peat for about 2 years now and now have a much better understanding of how environment and metabolism ties in with hair loss but as with many people here I always still wondered why some people despite there crap eating never lose there hair while I was being soooo strict and slowly seeing it fall out and going through all the forums and groups like hair guard and danny roddy have hypothesized as to what it might be, I believe there is a genetic occurrence that is strongly influenced by an environmental and nutritional impact let me explain.
l believe now especially on this forum we have a very good understanding of the hormonal implications of hair loss and now people are starting to look int0 the structural aspects like skull expansion and scalp tightness which I believe is a bit of crap as it doesn't explain the full picture, I believe that people that lose there hair have a larger sebaceous area and the follicle bulge and actually holds more sebum than people who don't have hair loss and that the is a relationship between the sebum pressure in the follicle itself and that this increased pressure and retention of sebum is what is causing the inflammation I believe that the bacteria is feeding on this sebum within the follicle and excreting fatty acids filled with estrogens and other destructive inflammatory substances locally in the follicle bulge itself I believe that there is a biofilm making it hard to clean and expel the sebum and bacteria that occurs within the follicle and this causes fibrosis and calcification of the follicle bulge shrinking the follicle space, I believe that areas that have more pressure on the sebaceous gland and hair bulge i.e. the vertex and temples make those follicles subset able to this phenomenon this explains the shape and pattern of baldness along with histamine reactions from the immune system and this very reason it why some people can get away with eating large amount of pufa but still have amazing heads of hair because weather it be genetic or something else they just have smaller sebaceous area in there follicle bulge and this is why women don't lose their hair because men have increased size and density of there sebaceous glands compared to women and not purely dht itself I think people like danny roddy have done an incredible job of explaining the paradoxes with relation to dht, thyroid and steroid hormones which all have a massive impact on the sebaceous glands it also explains why things like Botox have increased hair counts by 18% over 24 weeks similar to finasteride because they blunt the activity of the sebaceous glands and this action and not to what its believed to do stopping scalp tension by relaxing scalp muscles is why it works, l believe tension is a part of it but only because 'gravity' increasing the pressure of the sebum within the follicle bulge itself, unfortunately danny is too invested in peat and his idea that its all to do with metabolism that he has failed to see and connect the structure of the follicle itself with hormones a lot ofpeople say to him why do homeless people have hair and all the eat is the occasional 7eleven pie and drugs to which he only answers its probably because they have less stress COME ON MATE!!! don't get me wrong everything that roddy implies is very important because people with the predisposition of having a larger sebaceous area will lose their hair more quickly if they don't adhere to his protocols because things like thyroid progesterone have links with the activities of sebum production we have to make connections and link all these anomalies together lets take a look at things we know but don't fully understand why
-hamiltons unects had less oily sebaceous secretions
-there is a 4 fold increase in mast cells in the scalps of balding men (l believe is immune reaction from the inflammation from the bacteria within the sebum)
-men have more and larger sebaceous glands and area than women
-it is a observation that men with pattern baldness have bigger sebaceous glands than those without pattern baldness
-yeasts like malassezia that feed on sebum eat the saturated fats and excrete unsaturated fatty acids which end up over the skin causing dandruff and scalp itchiness which is very common in people with pattern baldness
-hormones like dht and progesterone have a big impact on sebum production more dht more sebum, low progesterone more sebum and less control of sebum activity
-there is an increase in dht and pdg2 in the scalps of balding men this l don't know weather its because the bacteria eat the sebum which has a feedback loop of producing more sebum like when you wash your hair too much it increases sebum production so the need for more dht locally in the hair follicle of if the bacteria excretes fatty acids (prolactin's and prostaglandins) which have been shown to antagonize the androgen receptors in the hair follicle
-antifungals have a positive impact on hair growth
-some people slow or stop there hair loss with methods like scalp massage that surposesly removes sebum, but honestly if you ask me your only getting a portion of the sebum out within 10-20mins in a 24 hour day hence why a lot of people calm no positive effects from things like detumescene therapy but hey also remember the guy that did this study as bull$@#tas it is that study he did that study because he observed that the follicles of people with baldness had a thick oily substances cloaked around them.
-treatments like fin and even zix(zinc sulphate and b6) seem to work zinc being used to treat acne and b6 for prolactin
sorry if this is long winded or scattered l have really bad adhd and struggle to clearly express my arguments in clear order this topic has bothered me a lot l will sit with the fact that its because of androgen sensitivity everyone knows that's crap and not logical and l also feel that if its just metabolism, estrogen and prolactin then why do barely any women lose there hair there has to be a link with structure that is influenced by the hormones i still have some more arguments on the idea but like a said it was very hard for me to even write this but l feel this is the most open forum on the idea and the only forum where people can somewhat think clearly as compared with idiots on hair loss forums , still this leaves me with the question though if I am right about this then why some peoples sebaceous area grow larger than others I guess you could say genetics but i really believe there has to be changes locally within the bulge itself and that the whole system is important but it can't really be accurately explained with this alone really think about how some people eat in a way here to keep metabolism high and are sooooo strict and still are losing there hair but some old man in his 60's eats nothing else than grains pufa and smoke but still has his hair danny cant really answer this himself his argument of its all just stress is as easy a statement to say as 'its all just genetics I am sensitive to dht' I also believe the the hair follicle bulge has to be looked at like the gut and that the bacteria and environment within the bulge will also leak out the excreted unsaturated fatty acids into the surrounding tissues and capillaries unfortunately l dont know really what could possibly remedy this condition other than try to eat and live healthy maybe botox could be a possible solution and may conduct a experiment and get 150units injected into my scalp to see the what comes of it in these studies they had a 80% success rate so it couldn't hurt if l do such a thing trust me THERE WILL BE PHOTO'S!!!!!!
whats everyones opinions on this hypothesis?
