Actually L'Oréal funded a study in the 1980's where they found that the scalp of deceased bald men had a thick layer of calcification whereas it wasn't seen in non-balding individuals. I've read this study several years ago but I don't see it on Google after a quick search.I think the calcification balding hypothesis is silly.
The scalp detumescence (scalp massaging) study where complete regrowth was achieved is entirely based on the concept of decalcification :

A hypothetical pathogenesis model for androgenic alopecia: clarifying the dihydrotestosterone paradox and rate-limiting recovery factors - ScienceDirect
The hypothesis argues that: (1) chronic scalp tension transmitted from the galea aponeurotica induces an inflammatory response in androgenic alopecia-prone tissues; (2) dihydrotestosterone increases in androgenic alopecia-prone tissues as part of this inflammatory response; and (3) dihydrotestosterone does not directly miniaturize hair follicles. Rather, dihydrotestosterone is a co-mediator of tissue dermal sheath thickening, perifollicular fibrosis, and calcification – three chronic, progressive conditions concomitant with androgenic alopecia progression.
Taurine, which is more effective than Finasteride at reversing hair loss, has the main mechanism of decalcifying tissues.

Taurine is a sulfur agent, and all forms of sulfur are systematically decalcifying :

(Taurine is also proven to inhibit TGF-Beta)
