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.

@Ritchie Most AI facial analyzers are crap but I found a legit facial analyzer. It's completely free and there aren't any limitations. It's a good indicator of how attractive you are. It doesn't virtue signal in any way. It gives lower score to people who are unattractive and gives high score to attractive people. I inserted various faces from reddit and it didn't fail once. I tried it with Boiko Borisov and Kiril Petkov. I even inserted Niki_99's face and it got 7. I also uploaded my face on more recent photos but I will share them and the results in my next posts.

@Ritchie Before sharing my results I will show my most recent photo session of my facial structure. This tik tok brow filter is awesome. It really helps me improving my looks. This session is from April.

@Ritchie I used the facial analyzer and I finally reached 8/10. The beard is certainly doing me a favor. I tried it with my photos without beard and I got 6/10. I should never do sided bangs aswell. I will never listen to my mother and sister to cut my hair like this again.

There's no metric in the world where you're an 8/10. Lord Voldemort nose looking ***

I've heard so many theories about why people lose their hair, and many say that only a healthy lifestyle can help you feel better, but for some reason no one thinks that proper nutrition does not significantly affect the condition of hair.

Do you eat like complete dogshit all the time? Or are starving? Those are the only times it has a noticeable effect.
