Also people who get transplants are usually norwood 4/5/6/7 - at this point the problem was already addressed by the immune system hence why it no longer causes any damage to the newly transplanted hairs. There is nothing differnet than balding hairs and transplanted hairs, depsite what you may have been told.

I agree with you in that individual hair "genetics" is hogwash. The areas that men thin and completely lose there hair follows the area known as the galea aponeurotica. If this is considered coincidence then people need to take a hard look at there over all reasoning. Again I wonder if all of these possible causes, DHT, PGD2, inflammation are not all but one of a two part process to induce balding. Or rather that you need a tight galea aponeurotica for anything to actually cause genetic hair loss and that the genetic is merely the shape at which you scalp is constructed and the degree to which mucles pull on this area. Everything else is just environmental factors increasing or decreasing these DHT or PGD2's.hhmmmmm.....

loool dude here is the study which clarifies this for you -> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14632179

i suspect its highly elevated in the telogen phase of the hair and is in low numbers in the other growth phases.

Its only logical to find an abudance of pgd2 in the balding scalp since [B]most of the follicles are in the RESTING PHASE

it would be interesting to test this on body hair.... if PGD2 is elevated in "bald spots" on your body, then your theory would be right

its not a theory, the study is there, all be it on mice...
