Prompt: "Why does it make sense to say that a man with thick body hair and a full beard is more likely to experience early baldness?"
Answer: "It makes sense because both body hair growth and balding (androgenic alopecia) are influenced by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a byproduct of testosterone. Here's why:
1. DHT Sensitivity – The same hormone (DHT) that stimulates body and facial hair growth can also shrink hair follicles on the scalp, leading to balding.
2. Genetic Predisposition – If a person has hair follicles on the scalp that are sensitive to DHT, they are more likely to experience hair loss, while DHT-resistant follicles (like those on the beard and body) continue growing.
3. Androgen Receptors – Higher androgen receptor activity leads to thicker facial and body hair but also faster hair follicle miniaturization on the scalp if genetically predisposed.
So, while not a strict rule, men who can grow thick beards and a lot of body hair often have higher DHT activity, which increases the likelihood of early balding if they have the genetic sensitivity."
There's never been a study done on this before, but it looks like our theory may be true
