Skull Expansion Causes Hair Loss!
The Hair Loss Industry
Has Got it Wrong!

Conventional reasons that explain the hair loss process are wrong! This page explains how skull expansion is the real reason for androgenetic alopecia.

So What Exactly is Skull Expansion?

Skull expansion involves bone remodelling and resorption. These are biological processes everyone must undergo in order to maintain skeletal integrity.

When you’re growing up into an adult, your skeleton obviously gets bigger and bigger. This, of course, includes the skull, which not only grows in size, but also changes shape.

Once you reach adulthood, this remodelling process then continues throughout life. For some, bone remodelling will simply maintain the bones – keeping them strong and healthy.

But, for those who suffer hair loss, this process will continue to grow certain bones of the skull.

This is skull expansion, and is the direct cause of hair loss within the male pattern baldness (MPB) region of the scalp for both men and women.

In the picture opposite you can see that, for some people, skull expansion will lead to baldness, but for others, it will not.

The bones of the skull that cause this to happen are the frontal and parietal bones.

This very simplified graphic shows that the area within these bones that cause skull expansion are the frontal and parietal eminences.

The extent to which you lose hair is directly related to the extent to which your skull will expand. Obviously, this means that greater skull expansion will lead to more loss of hair.

Recognition of my hair loss research into skull expansion has now been made through the publication of my article: "Big head? Bald head! Skull expansion: alternative model for the primary mechanism of AGA" in the Medical Hypotheses journal (Volume 72, January 2009, Issue 1, Pages 23-28).


For those who suffer severe male pattern baldness, skull expansion will often create a somewhat "rounded" skull shape. However, those who suffer no loss of hair generally have a slightly more "square" shape to the skull when seen from the front and/or side profiles.

This observation is usually very easy to spot. Simply look around you at people you meet or see - just compare the skull shape of those with a full head of hair to those with severe alopecia. The evidence is impossible to ignore!

Most people already know that there’s a genetic link to male pattern baldness. This is due to the skull shape that you inherit, and its predisposition towards skull expansion.

This tendency for the skull to grow beyond the normal bone resorption and remodelling process exists for most people in fact - the skull shape they inherit will allow certain hormones to stimulate the parietal and/or frontal bones into excessive growth.

Despite my own genetic predisposition towards male pattern baldness, I managed to reverse and regrow the hair I had lost. To find out how I overcame the skull expansion process and prevent thinning hair and hair loss from returning, click here - How to stop thinning hair and hair loss.

Nearly all hair specialistss agree that male pattern baldness is connected to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and genetics.

Others will tell you that a junk food diet or excess sebum production is to blame. And some believe that poor scalp circulation and stress will cause this type of alopecia.

To find out the theory behind each of these conventional reasons for male pattern baldness, use the links above. However, each one of these theories is, in fact, wrong! That's because none of them gives the true mechanism that will cause this process to start. Also, none of them can fully answer all of the following questions.

Try Asking Any Trichologist These Questions...
And See What Answers You Get!

You can find out the answers simply by reading the rest of this page. But, I guarantee that any hair loss professional (trichologist, dermatologist or endocrinologist) you care to ask, will not be able to give you the correct answers to these questions:

Q1. Why do some people lose hair from the front, back, or both these regions of the scalp?

Q2. Why does remnant hair sometimes last long after baldness has developed? (Remnant hair is thick, strong, healthy hair that continues to grow within the MPB region despite extensive loss of hair all around it - as shown in the photogragh).

Q3. Why is it that hair can fall faster in one region of the scalp than it does in the other?

Q4. Why do 20% of men start losing hair at puberty, whilst others don't start until they’re much older?

Q5. DHT will, during puberty, stimulate hair to grow in other parts of the body. So, how can it be linked to both hair growth and loss?

These are all very significant questions concerning the hair loss process. Therefore, it’s important that complete and accurate answers are given before any theory can be recognised as the true cause of male pattern baldness. Since these conventional theories cannot do this, they should now be considered as factors that influence the hair loss process, or, are involved to some extent, rather than the actual cause.

Only Skull Expansion can Provide the Answers to All These Questions!

A1. If you are developing a bald patch at the back, then this due to skull expansion of the parietal bones. Hair loss at the front (e.g., receding temples) is caused by skull expansion of the frontal bone. And, hair loss at the front and back is caused by skull expansion of both frontal and parietal bones. (Note - this is only a very basic answer to question 1).

A2. Remnant hair can sometimes continue to grow because there are areas within the MPB region of the skull that remain relatively free from skull expansion. It all depends upon the skull shape that you inherit, and its growth potential (i.e., its tendency to continue the skull expansion process into adulthood).

For example, in the picture at the top of the page, you can see there are two frontal eminences. That’s because, when your skull starts growing (as a foetus) you have two frontal bones. But, as you develop in the womb, these fuse together so that, by birth, they form a single bone. However, the two frontal eminences still remain and, through skull expansion, can cause hair at both temples to recede later on in life. This explains why, in most cases, hair recedes at the left and right temples but not across the entire front hairline. It also explains why, in the photo above, some remnant hair continues to grow at the front.

In the top picture, can you see how the parietal eminence only occurs above the temporal ridge? And that the temporal ridge seems to coincide with the loss of hair along the sides of the head? Well, this is not a coincidence! The parietal eminence (that causes skull expansion) only lies above the parietal ridge, and so hair loss can also only occur above this line.

Hair will always continue to grow at the lower back of the head because here, the occipital bone largely remains unaffected by parietal bone expansion. Again, you can see this from the photo.



A3 & A4. This variation in skull shape and growth potential will also account for the different rates of hair loss between the front and back of the scalp (question 3) and why your hair loss could start as early as puberty or much later on in life (question 4).

A5. Whilst DHT is a hair growth stimulator, it’s also a bone growth stimulator. This, along with certain other hormones, is what can cause skull expansion (which, in turn, causes male pattern baldness).

Note: Only brief answers to these questions, and a very simple explanation of skull expansion has been provided in this website. For example, periosteal reaction (from scalp muscle attachment to the skull bones) may also be intrinsic to the skull expansion process.

Hormones and skull expansion

It’s mostly DHT that causes skull expansion. But, other hormones such as insulin, thyroid and parathyroid hormones also promote the bone remodelling and resorption process. As such, they too could contribute to male pattern baldness through skull expansion.

Read This and You Won't Enjoy Junk Food so Much!

Insulin – Whenever you eat junk food, your blood insulin levels increase (to deal with all that sugar). And, if you consume too much junk on a regular basis, over time you could develop insulin resistance and, ultimately, diabetes. And diabetes has been linked to hair loss.

As well as stimulating bone growth, insulin can also influence DHT production - high insulin levels will cause Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) levels to decrease. SHBG is a glycoprotein that will bind to testosterone and prevent it circulating "free" in the blood. Given that only this "free" testosterone is converted into DHT, if insulin levels can be kept low, then the elevated SHBG levels will help reduce DHT production.

This demonstrates how your diet can affect hormone production and balance, and contribute to hair loss. The foods you eat are, therefore, very important - by avoiding certain foods and including others you can obviously help reduce the hair loss you suffer.

This Explains Why Bodybuilders Suffer Hair Loss!

DHT - Androgens such as testosterone and DHT are steroid hormones. This means that they have an anabolic effect on both muscle and bone formation. In other words, they make bone grow! This explains why intense weight training has been linked to male pattern baldness.

For bodybuilders, hair loss is an occupational hazard - intense weight training increases DHT production, which will build both muscle and bone.

The entire skeleton can experience new bone growth as a direct result of weight bearing exercises. This means that it’s possible for the rate of bone remodelling to increase in other parts of the body (including the skull) and not just those areas being exercised (e.g., the arms and legs).

Taking anabolic steroids can also contribute to male pattern baldness. The vast majority of anabolic steroids break down to form DHT at some point. And so, by taking them, the rate of muscle and bone growth, and the rate of hair loss, can all increase.

Note: regular aerobic exercise such as running will help lower testosterone, DHT and insulin levels.

Interestingly, sudden weight loss, perhaps from a crash diet, will also increase DHT levels.

All these examples further show how dietary and lifestyle factors can affect skull expansion and hair loss.
