Let's focus on the FUNDAMENTALS, not the little details (Topicals)

You got THAT right! :-)

Something even better than THAT was done: in the famous Nordstrom study, balding hair follicles from the scalp were transplanted to a subject's arm, and they continued balding at the same rate as they did while they were still on his scalp! ;-) That pretty much settles the issue once and for all, and proves that there is something inherent to each individual hair follicle that causes balding. It disproves the various cuckoo theories about local "pressure" in the scalp skin causing balding, the old-fashioned "galea" theory, etc.
