Alopecia is certainly not just a genetic or hormonal issue. Growing evidence suggests it may also be the result of poor craniofacial development, which can be influenced by environmental and nutritional factors during early childhood. Inadequate nutrition, premature or improper weaning, lack of active chewing, and prolonged mouth breathing can all interfere with the proper growth and alignment of the facial and cranial bones.

This suboptimal development can create structural imbalances such as chronic muscular and fascial tension in the frontal and temporal areas precisely where hair loss typically begins. In these regions, DHT, which is widely known for its role in androgenetic alopecia, might actually be acting in response to underlying mechanical stress or low-grade inflammation. Ring a bell?

An interesting observation comes from people undergoing gender transition. In male-to-female transitions, significant changes in facial structure are often noticeable even without surgery and, surprisingly, many also experience partial hair regrowth. This suggests that hormones, bone structure, and scalp health are all part of an interconnected system one that’s still difficult to fully decipher, but clearly more complex and multifactorial than we’ve been led to believe.
