What Causes male pattern baldness To Manifest So Differently For Men?

[LeeVanCleef]

There's got to be more to it than just DHT sensitivity.

Some men recede to nw3 and never lose the central part of their hair:http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zVnOXe-Plpk/T0Y3tPmuY1I/AAAAAAAACDw/0zhnAInHZHc/s1600/leemarvin.jpg

Each hair is an individual organ. Some have more AR, less ER, more 5-ar, less aromatase.

Findings revealed that both women and men have higher levels of [androgen] receptors and 5a-reductase type I and II in frontal hair follices than in occipital follicles, whereas higher levels of aromatase were found in their occipital follicles.

It is possible in balding persons,..., but what in healthy persons? Take in account that all have good hair at first.

This is a great question that I often think about. I’ve seen nw3 20 year olds that never lose more hair but then I see nw1 50 year olds that are bald at 55. It’s so random
