No.: Dht is the main cause of androgentic alopecia or male pattern hair loss in men who are genetically susceptible to it. "skull expansion" has nothing to do with it. Most of the growth of your head is done during infancy.

No: "skull expansion" is pseudoscience. Don't try to argue with them, any more than you'd argue with someone who says the earth is flat. Ignore these people. Male pattern baldness is genetically programmed -- look around you. The hairier the guy in his early 20's, the faster he goes bald.
