Below are true or false statements. In your opinion, is each statement true or false?
- 1) Products or treatments that claim to treat Alopecia Areata will not help with Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Baldness)
2) The reason for the horseshoe pattern in Androgenetic Alopecia is because hairs on the top and front of the scalp are more sensitive to DHT than the hairs at the sides and back.
3a) Hair from the sides and back of the head that have been transplanted to the top and front provide sufficent enough protection against DHT to ensure hairs here will not fall out.
and
3b) If all hair from the scalp were transplanted to another area of the body, they would fall out with the same pattern as if they were on the scalp.
4) It is not possible to specifically target and block DHT on the scalp (enough to provide sufficient protection to DHT sensititive hair) WHILST not affecting DHT levels in the rest of the body. In short, if you want to lower DHT levels enough to not affect DHT sensitive hair, you can only do this to the whole body and not just on the scalp.
5) The scalp expansion theory is completely utter rubbish.
6) The scalp exercise developed by Tom Hagerty cannot help against Androgenetic Alopecia because hair growth is not affected by a restriction in blood flow to the top and front areas of the scalp.
7) A bald male suffering from Androgenetic Alopecia has a nasty fall which leaves a large cut on the top of his head, skin in that area has also been lost. As his body heals and grows new skin, it also creates new hair follicles in that area, which results in hair regrowth, thus curing his Androgenetic Alopecia for a good few years until DHT noticeably affects those hairs again.
A male with low testostrone levels increases the chance of that male being gay.
