The theory you're referring to from tmdocclusion presents an interesting and often overlooked perspective on hair loss. It suggests that the underlying cause of hair loss may not be purely genetic or hormonal (like DHT sensitivity), but instead linked to improper craniofacial development and chronic muscle tension. According to this view, individuals with poor facial structure such as recessed jaws, narrow cheekbones, and forward head posture often have imbalanced skull development. This imbalance leads to improper alignment of the neck and spine, causing continuous tension in the muscles surrounding the head. That tension can propagate through myofascial connections into the galea (the connective tissue on the scalp), compressing blood vessels and lymphatic flow, and potentially contributing to hair follicle miniaturization and recession.


Your observation that people with well-developed, horizontally grown faces and strong bone structure tend to retain their hairlines supports the idea that physical structure plays a critical role. While this theory hasn't been fully accepted by mainstream science largely because there’s extensive evidence linking male pattern baldness to genetics and hormonal activity it’s still a valid concept to explore. The most balanced understanding is that hair loss is multifactorial: a combination of genetic predisposition, hormonal factors, vascular health, muscular tension, and craniofacial development all working together to determine whether someone will experience hair loss.

Even tho this sounds like an AI summary, it is indeed an excellent summary nonetheless. The only bit you missed is DHT being a bi product of the inflammation, and also a contributor to the hair miniaturization.
