TLDR Children's scalp hair may naturally rest without causing hair loss, but androgens might increase this, leading to hair loss.
The document discussed the presence of vellus hairs and empty spaces in children's scalps, suggesting that without gonadal androgens and 5alpha-reductase expression, these features were unlikely to indicate androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Instead, they might represent a physiological 'true resting' phase of some scalp hair. The study suggested that androgens could enhance this phenomenon, potentially contributing to the development of AGA.
