Acording my theory no new hairs but it can stop the progression of common hair loss because avoid acumulation of rancid sebum inside pilosebaceous unit

I think having your scalp skin loose and pliable is good and maÿ possibly slown down inflammatìon a little. Funny thing with me was even after aggresive massages I never got my scalp real pliable until after taking 3g of MSM a day and at about 6 weeks of that one day it was all at once very pliable along with my forehead skin.

I saw some of your posts about sebum but I always have had kind of low sebum during my balding. Never ever had bad shedding either. My hair loss was kind of like a real slow crawl of hairs falling out anð many getting stuck in a catagen like state for years.

Thank you for your input regarding slow down inflammation and massages. I think that chronic inflammation is the second step in common baldness, the first are problems with sebum flow. Passing time, sebum if not is eliminated it start to make more viscous. This hardened sebum, the density of hair on the head, and the small thickness of the scalp cause it to lose its flexibility and suppleness.
I also agree that the process of common baldness is a multi-stage process, and the initial stages are slower. If you control the sebum's flow, preventing its acumulation, you won't experience micro-inflammation. Later, the problem of hardened sebum causes new hairs to be thinner because their dermal papilla (which forms the hair shaft) is smaller, as not all stem cells can travel from the bulge zone, located next to the sebaceous gland, to the deeper part of the hair shaft.
Later on, it becomes much more complicated, with hormonal problems, rejection processes, etc., which accelerate the rate of hair loss. In short, it's both complex and simple at the same time. You just have to observe the timing of the processes.

Interesting thoughts. My basic theory is its infĺammation from some source that kicks things off and how much your body loves to use DHT to react to that initial inflammation is the gasoĺine added that then creates all the issues that doom your hair (fibrosis etc). As far as sebum you have me wondering if the stuff that came out initially when I started my purges might have had sebum in it. I just referred to it as plaque like stuff but if I had sebum buildup that was mostly in the hair shaft and not much on top of the scalp I guess it could have been part of that stuff coming out.
