Hi

There has been done some research where excess tension in the frontalis and the occipitalis muscle can be a possible contributing factor to the Norwood baldness pattern (as shown in this post).

Muscle trigger points are small areas of a muscle which are sore when being pressed and can contribute to muscles stiffness, increased inactivity and possible increased tension. Based on this, it is therefor interesting to investigate the number of trigger points, in the muscles of interest, which are observed in people exhibiting baldness to identify a possible correlation between trigger points and the Norwood baldness pattern.

There is a poll above in this post and it would be interesting if anyone would take the time to investigate their frontalis, occipitalis and temporalis muscle for trigger points/sore areas and type in their results in the poll.

An anatomical overview of the primary muscles of interest frontalis and occipitalis, and secondary muscle of interest temporalis:
