    TLDR The essay suggests hair loss might be caused by changes in skull bones.
    The document is a pictorial essay proposing that hair loss may be linked to the displacement of head bones, particularly due to changes in Wormian bones in the occipital region and the movement of parietal bones, which could lead to a tightening of the galea aponeurotica. The essay uses images to illustrate changes in the skull with age and how these may relate to hair loss, suggesting that individuals with Wormian bones in the lambdoid suture might experience hair loss due to the loosening of connections between skull bones. The theory is presented as a possible contributor to understanding male pattern baldness but acknowledges other causes like genetic, hormonal, or infectious factors. It also differentiates between male and female hair loss patterns, indicating that female hair loss would require separate research. The document lacks empirical data and does not specify the number of subjects studied.
