What does the body do with all that extra keratin protein when someone goes bald?

Well when someone goes bald, usually the hair follicles end up shrinking and don't make any hair. Without any hair being made, the keratin protein is not synthesized in the first place, instead, the amino acids that would've made up the keratin protein are used for making other proteins around the body.
