Disproving muscle-tension hair loss hypotheses

[Renovation]

I’m trying a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a tumbler of water first thing in morning— also on thinning areas of scalp
& sodium thiosulfate on scalp. Both break up calcification.. I read many articles, reviews, & videos on the subject.. The problem as I study it is the scalp calcification I am talking about isn’t causing a particular health problem for doctors to zoom in on— so there are no protocols to identifying the condition & treating it.. Calcification if the tendons or shoulder can be x-rayed, can be prescribed exercises, drugs, or even surgery— where surgeons go in & pick out the calcification deposits. In the scalp (which has 5 layers) I know I have calcification because the top layer where the follicles are & which is the thicknest layer.. when I microneedle.. I can actually hear the crackling of the calcification when those sharp needles pierce the scalp.. like a saltine cracker cracking.. So I’ve done this for about a month & I see some hair regrowth.. btw I am doing other things also so one never knows exactly. I’ve studied the galea theory. Tried the massage protocol, got an electric scalp massager.. probably tried few models.. bought the scalp massage device from Hairguard I believe.. tried it for few months & then resold it. Galea is 3rd layer of scalp skin. It’s very thin compared to first layer..
So I keep experimenting..

I regularly drink a small amount of ACV daily and did try topical before washing hair a few times, but made my hair a bit limp so didn't really stick to it, maybe should have age it longer. I also tried magnesium salts as they are supposed to reduce calcium.

I know a friend who had a bad knee injury years ago, it didn't clear up and was diagnosed as being calcified can't remember the exact terminology anyway the only thing that broke the calcium up was a cortisone injection.

Not sure about sodium thiolsofate I'll have to read up on that.

I also microneedled a while back, but again didn't give it long enough, and was worried that new collagen formation might make matters worse.

The people talking about scalp tension refer to the galea- the third layer of scalp.. a very thin muscle on top of scalp & a bit on sides & upper back of skull. It may get tight.. but why does it get tight? Nobody seems to answer that question. I don’t know .. but it’s probably from Calcification. When I say calcification— I don’t mean blobs of calcium deposits— no I mean a thin layer of calcification— not enough to alarm a doctor, but just enough to restrict blood/nutrient flow to the super sensitive hair follicles. I’m currently testing a chemical which has research to back it breaking up calcification. I believe once the calculation lessens the scalp tension will also lessen..

Why does it get tight I'm not sure but in this case we are probably talking about hypertension.

Hypertension I believe has been associated with metabolic disease and Androgenetic Alopecia. I don't think that it's starts with hypertension. But the onset of hypertension is a switching point.

What chemical are you talking about?

The muscle tension is hard to observe because the galea is the third layer of scalp skin. About 1/4 inch below the scalp skin you can see..At an autopsy you can peel back the layers. The galea is super thin.. It’s just a layer of skin like a slice of salami on a sandwich.. At this time I think massaging the balding areas is worth the effort.. I put in a 3-panel mirror to hang over my bathroom door to get a better look.. The simple theory that bloodflow/nutrients are slowly being cut off to the follicles make sense & the galea is exactly how men bald. Coincidence?
Nobody knows for sure.. but after trying 100 other possibilities.. it’s worth a try at least. Women don’t do anything .. yet their hair grows & flows.. Certainly hormones /genes are major factors. But us men have to do what we can..Male lions have big manes. Male antelopes have horns. Male humans go bald?? How does that make sense.. male pattern baldness is a chronic condition.. perhaps disease that IMO should be treated..

you can't disprove it

Compresison massage of the legs, arms, neck and shoulders is proven to work

The problem here is that even if the theory is right and it might be, this becomes a circular line of reasoning unless this knowledge somehow enables us to formulate treatments. Hair loss is so intertwined with the process of masculinization in whites and semites, that it might be impossible to treat it without early intervention hormonal treatments but short of using those, titrated to the lowest amount needed to prevent hair fall, I think that this is an interesting but largely hopeless line of inquiry.
