This theory is a work in progress that cannot be unequivocally proven until I totally restore my scalp to pre-balding conditions 100%. At that time of this writing, I am still in the process, but viewing my current trajectory, I believe I will hit the target. The General Theory of Reversativity is a culmination of years of research combined with my fully documented success journey in reversing my own severe hair loss. Here is what I have found out that will eventually turn to this all encompassing theory of reversing hair loss or the opposing force of the, "Unified Theory of Balding."

​

In short, the Unified Theory of Balding suggests that genetically speaking, certain men have a stronger allergic response or inherit predisposition for an "over-reaction" of the immune system to pathogens congregating in the scalp who more than likely escaped through the damaged intestinal lining.

 

Once the pathogenic spread reaches a certain threshold count, the body's immune system goes into defense mode targeting the infected follicles while DHT suppressed the inflammation, both saving the follicles from true death (scarring alopecia) via the bodies immune system while starving the pathogens to be eliminated by said immune system.

​

The General Theory of Reversativity says that what society refers to as male pattern balding or androgenetic alopecia as the cause or "disease" associated with hair loss, I actually believe that "Male Acute Follicle Stress" Syndrome or (MAFS) for short, is what I am actually reversing or repairing via Natty DIY Scalp Repair. I cannot cure Androgenetic Alopecia as I am not a geneticist nor can you "cure" male pattern balding as it is a descriptive hair loss pattern. However, there are steps to take to optimize skin conditions and scalp is skin nevertheless. This is where Back to the Barber excels...

 

Men with MAFS, have an acute and chronic inflammation and DHT occupation for starters. The stress of the biome-DHT-immune system war plus the rapid deterioration (accelerated aging) of the scalp environment (calcification-fibrosis-fat layer loss) creates a hostile living environment for the feminine follicles. The male androgen (prostate dominated hormones) over run the uterine balanced scalp once perfect for hair production.

 

Hair grows in lockstep and in cycles of rest even within the anagen stage. Hair also halts or falls out via group signaling. The more hair, the more hair, the more hair - and opposing, the less hair, the less hair, the less hair. Follicles are codependent on the entirety, not individual as we are taught. It is better to consider hair as "moss" or bermuda grass in behavior, not an individual plant. Balding anywhere is eventually balding everywhere. Hair zones (areas of the scalp) can and will only grow ideally when their specific scalp conditions are met. When unmet, hair loss occurs and its usually in the triangle first - temples and crown, which are anatomically weak in babies and women too generally. This is also why the first hair zones that recede or bald, are also the last to regrow. Unfortunately, the intra-follicular disease spreads virally to other follicles in the near vicinity.

 

Hair loss spreads like an infection across the scalp with follicles being deactivated in a universal pattern we call the Hamilton-Norwood Pattern, which is the path of the least resistance. The itching, tenderness, acne, inflammation, and increase of scalp sebum and oil are also characteristics of an infection. 

 

Balding is the outcome of a successful suppression campaign only meant to stop the spread of pathogens in one of the most important parts of the body - possibly the brain. Balding is a protective mechanism, not your "Final Form." DHT is the fall guy literally and figuratively. I theorize that the root cause of the immune response is pathogenic infestation caused by damaged intestinal villi (anatomical twins of scalp follicles). The scalp is almost an inside out intestinal lining in structure, but less hostile. Is this why the parasites settle therein?

 

Perhaps we got it wrong. Maybe the immune response of balding men or Alpha scalps are not extreme, heavy handed, or an over-reaction but immune-intelligent enough to understand the ramifications of the underlying cause. It is apparent that the normal scalp biome is no match for bacteria adapted to survive in stomach acids and bile. Pair this with demodex and other relocated gut bacteria, the follicle immune privilege is inconsequential. Thus, the body's immune response comes to the rescue...

 

Follicles are mini-organs. Perhaps hair loss can be defined in MAFS as post-organ failure. But follicles are not the only organs that are affected. It's rarely acknowledged victims can also be the heart, prostate, and other important organs. Hair loss is the visual omen that states you've reached a state of high alert. Be advised. Take a Healthstetic (Health=Aesthetic) approach and find out what really transpired while you are getting your hair back.

​

 If we have a desire to reverse this syndrome (topically and aesthetically focused), then we simply have to neutralize the start of MAFS - pathogen infestation via a cleanse topically and internally. Then reverse the conditions that spun out of control due to an extreme heavy handed immune reaction (maybe its actually appropriate), which I categorize as the "Alpha state" or an Alpha Scalp. The Hamilton-Norwood scale is a profile of how DHT partnered with the immune response moves throughout the scalp slowly eradicating the threat. It's handy work is first seen in the temples and crown but those three small circles eventually expand out enveloping the hosted follicles and eventually quarantining the entire gallea. The sides are also affected, but having muscle - its not as easily seen.

 

The male pattern balding phenomenon is ultimately an immune response takeover led by DHT (Special OPS) and your immune system, against the alien pathogens previous coup against the normal balance (MAFS), saving the man by sacrificing the hair.

 

To reverse this trend, we have to reverse the conditions inside and out. Targeted Restoration Equations can simplify the repair approach based on the physiological scalp traits ie degradational severity levels. The point is to turn the downward spiral upwards using "The six Re's or Restoration," as a guide. The opposite spectrum or polarity of a non-hair producing scalp is the Omega scalp scale ie Doowron (the positive opposite side of Norwood). Our goal is to tip the scale towards its direction. Scalp conditions being met is transitioning the Alpha scalp conditions (Tense, Dense, Compressed, Dry, Calcified, fatless, DHT-ridden, low nutrio-oxygenic circulation), to the opposite conditions (Loose, Supple, Watery, Uncalcified- no fibrosis, fatty, Estrogenic, stressless, optimal circulation).

 

Naturally over time, as the first cause of MAFS is eradicated topically and internally (pathogens-alien biome), the body's immune system stands down allowing the follicle's immune privilege to take back over governing the scalp. Simultaneously as the scalp is reset to pre-balding conditions or better with stacked solutions and simple tools, a more normal hair cycle will eventually resume. This solution-regimen may have to be maintained indefinitely albeit with less frequency to avoid any relapse being the true cause of MAFS is external to the scalp and deeply rooted in lifestyle, diet, chronic deficiencies, and other comorbid imbalances.
