Steroids
Synthetic AAS and bioidentical hormones are quite different from one another in practice, even if they're both considered "steroids".Steroid is pretty much what many people on this forums do anyway.
Progesterone, Pregnenolone, Adrosterone, etc.

Yup, plus doses are waay different. Also most of us on this board are very mindful of preventing excessive aromatization.
Do ya even peat bruh?As many on this forum understand, there exists a genetic susceptibility to DHT, the androgen converted from testosterone, that causes hair loss. Body builders use enormous amounts of testosterone, which ramps up the activity of this conversion of Testosterone to DHT. The Supra -physiological levels of T are the cause of accelerated baldness.
Many people on the forum have bottom of the barrel Testosterone and constantly fight against Estradiol and Prolactine and are shedding or completely bald.
Anyone on massive amount of exogenous Test will immediately be scared of serious aromatization, it is not people on this forum, like any serious bodybuilder is very mindful of that.
Synthetic stuff like Proviron, Exemestane, etc is used on the forums too.

Purely out of curiosity, what do you consider to constitute excess protein?

There definetly is a genetic component to hairloss.
For example, a 20 year old white male, lean, muscular, eats well, has no discernable diseases starts to lose his hair with no other symptoms whatsoever. Meanwhile, a 60 year old hispanic man with overt diabetes, previous history of cancer, a kidney transplant, multiple stents, eats terribly, doesnt sleep well and has been on pharma drugs for years, has a full head of hair. I have seen this scenerio and countless others similar to it many times.
This doesnt mean that genes are the final determining factor or the direct cause, just that they do play a role, atleast in the manifestations of disease and/ or responses to hormonal mileu.
Many people like to look at Danny Roddy as an example of someone growing thier hair back but as far as I can see Danny didnt lose his hair becuase of a genetic predisposition to androgen sensitivity. I mean, with all due respect, Danny doesnt even seem to have much in the way of androgenic qualities, especially the qualities that are characteristic of many balding men. Danny most likely lost his hair becuase of his extreme dietary habits directly leading to a thyroid issue.
With this in mind though, the principles that peat lays out still apply wether someone is losing thier hair or not and Danny's work overall is very valuable. Also, most hairloss drugs, as Danny has pointed out many times, are not worth it, and there are a variety of other things that can help to atleast stop/ slow down the hairloess i.e. progesterone, aspirin, thyroid, adequate carbs from safe sources, adequate protein, PUFA avoidance/ SAFA consumption etc. With this said, in my experience, the only way to really grow back lost hair is through some type of wounding procedure like needling (however this should probably only be attempted once everything else is under control).
I think chronic muscle contraction is the primary cause of hair loss. I have noticed that regardless of discrepancies in other health issues, people with full heads of hair seem to universally have less internal tension/insecurity and more calmness than people who are losing hair. As I cured my hair loss with fructose, caffeine, aspirin, PUFA/iron depletion, etc., my personality also changed to reflect this.
Why are eunuchs not bald? Ever read the twins studies where one twin was castrated by trauma? The castrated twin does not go bald. Put the castrated twin on testosterone replacement therapy and he matches the hair loss pattern of the non-castrated twin.
