First time hearing about Alarin. Never heard of it before.

Iv thought about local DHT in females before, to simplify females have approx 20 percent blood DHT compared to men. I agree with your theory inflammation = DHT (due to DHT increasing on any part of body which is 'injured') women also on average have far less deep neck tension so less occipitalis tension (occupatalis directly affects galea 'pull')

So all things considered women have far less scalp inflammation AND far less available DHT, hence far less hairloss.

Balding men have more DHT in scalp than non balding, not sure how men with good hair compare to females in this regard though.

That's my simplified way of understanding things anyway.

Also I'm surprised Botox studies haven't gained more traction in this forum. I assume it's because they state blood flow helps (and any blood flow theory gets shot down on here all the time maybe for good reason) however imo the main reason the botox studies worked was due to this anti inflammatory effect on galea.

I agree with ya! For the vast majority of us men with hair issues wether your a noorwood 2 - a noorwood 7 I feel puberty induces / helps charge what's wrong in our body. As we know when puberty happens dht is a new hormone that's then introduced to our body from there the count down begins. We hear about the enuchs and men who get castrated before puberty and they all keep their hair and or if they are balding/receeding it stops. I'm not saying snip it off hell nah but I'm tying the whole puberty angle into it.

I can say for me personally I was able to get line ups no problem but one day at 11 over the summer I noticed I was growing hairs down there ( I was kinda shook I didn't know that could happen ) and maybe a few months later I noticed that my right corner was a bit higher than the other.
