I found something really interesting. This is an article about a condition in babies called craniosynostosis. This a condition where the cranial sutures of the scull close too early and the baby's scull grows in an improper way and looks more expanded than the one of normal babies. Oneof the types of craniosynostosis exhibit traits similar of those we see in balding men.
In coronal synostosis is when the baby' scalp grows wider compared to his face
That reminds me of some men...
This type of craniosynostosis happens when the right and left coronal sutures of the scull close too early.
This condition is thought to be due to genetic factors.
The article says that more than one suture closes too early. In these instances, the brain might not have enough room to grow to its usual size. This can lead to a build-up of pressure inside the skull.
And this build up pressure inside the scull might trigger this mechanical tension and this tension that restricts the blood supply to the scalp and this is the tension rob is talking about in his blog.
So I think that balding men have a mild form of craniosynostosis. Their coronal sutures closed earlier than those of non balding men who have hairline with little or no recession. I mean that they closed earlier but not as early in babies diagnosed with craniosynostosis.
Now look at those babies with cranial synostosis.
That look similar to the head shape of some balding men
Look at this man and how uneven and how ridged is his scalp. Looks pretty similar to baby with craniosynostosis.
Meanwhile non balding man
Look how smooth and even is his scalp.
I think that the problem isn't that the skull expands but that it expands in a improper way. It expands in a way that the brain has not enough space to grow and the growing brain puts pressure inside the skull and this pressure triggers muscle tension that causes baldness.
I exclude poor posture as the sole cause of baldness despite that many balding men have it. They slouch constantly with their heads. But I think it's just might be aggravating things and speeding up the process and increasing the severity of Androgenetic Alopecia because not every balding man has one. Plenty of balding men walk with their head straight forward.
