True but let's say you know someone working somewhere where you can do these scans. Ask a few men atleast to do scans. Then analyse that. It can be start. A sample size to start doesn't have to be big. I'm not sure the cost of this but more manageable than an actual study.
Heck maybe we can use existing scans with patient pictures if they could be assessed, but occasionally information is publicly available already tho I haven't looked yet.
Ofcourse like you said it's unlikely anything will be done with it. However there may still be ways for those interested. At this point leave the "it's all genetics" people behind. They're just dead weight. If you don't shoot your shot you already lost.
Even if it's skull bone. Soft tissue itself is flexible. The androgen, inflammation etc. stop that due to increased collagen expression. During onset of Androgenetic Alopecia combined with inflammation, fibrosis etc.
Even tho I don't agree with everything he says. The guy with the website. I believe he did an "ultimate hairloss flowchart". I think perfect hairhealth. Posted pictures of people with huge heads and not balding. That same principle may be used. Restoring fat tissue. Softening tissue and skin. Then regrowing vascular tissue. I mean bones supposedly continue growing. But that doesn't suddenly cause issues in local skin due to the body adapting. Which doesn't happen in Androgenetic Alopecia.
The goal regardless of increased skull size/shape
Essentially going from androgenic, inflammatory, fibrotic, hypoxic, increased collagen decreased adipose skin.
To
Balanced hormonal, normal oxygenation, increased healthy adipose, antiinflammatory, decrease collagen? Increased elastin, increase angio/vasculogenesis.
How this will be done in not fully sure anyone who knows or can research will be appreciated.
I'm nearly 40, had a hair transplant in my mid 20s which helped but has also thinned over the last 5 or so years, so I have zero time for responding to the trolls you mention. The big three have their place though and the theory discussed here aligns with that, but some people just don't want to believe it. Ok not surprised with them coming on here with all the crap on this thread with rating people's looks based on facial symmetry. Im not drawn on the symmetry aspect, more the posture, neck muscles and tight galea and this thread almost lost its purpose.
The only other thread I've paid this much attention to was the long MSM thread a couple years ago, and I still micro dose MSM mainly for other health benefits.
Increasing scalp flexibility or pretty much what you have mentioned regarding reducing inflammation, increase scalp fat and tissue etc. Loosening neck muscles, focussing on posture, better and deeper nose breathing are all helping me move in the right direction.
Few will believe this and kind of hard to describe, but if I lie on my back and manage to fall asleep with my head in position on a low pillow so it basically pushes the galea skin up from behind (almost like simulating a loose galea, if you touch the top of scalp when in this position it's really soft and loose) in the morning it's like my hair has gained volume overnight and my hair has a thick straw like texture. I know this for a fact, and if I sleep on side or stomach my hair is so limp, and even lying on my back in the good position on a couch for half an hour gives my hair added texture and sets me up for the day although the effect is temporary it demonstrates what reducing scalp tension even for a short period can do.
I agree a proper study wouldn't be a bad thing, but I genuinely don't need one to get my head around this theory and like I said I see it every day in almost everyone I meet, first thing I see with bald or thinning person is either a huge galea and/or a skinny neck from the back and can see a very curved cervical spine, which leads to compression around C7 and C6. People with thick hair tend to have either a smaller galea and/or a more aligned cervical spine with less of an obvious curve at back, and also usually but not always, a prominent Adams apple.
No coincidence that I had a trapped nerve in my early 20s when I lost most of my hair, and when I do the lying down thing above I see immediate positive effects as I flatten and restore the cervical spine whilst reducing tension on the scalp skin and stop compressing my hair follicles!
No easy fix to this but I will get there, with out another transplant!
