What
is DHT?
DHT is
a male hormone, Dihydrotestosterone, that is present in a person
immediately after his puberty and the purpose of DHT is
to develop secondary sexual characteristics.
When DHT
gets attached to the hair follicle, it prevents the
assimilation of nutrients to the follicles which in turn
cause thinning out of hair and finally shedding of hair
which results in hair loss.
Therefore
excessive levels of DHT in the scalp will result in
balding and this is most common in men than women.
DHT Hair
loss is then the main reason for most
male hair loss. Male hair loss is medically referred as
"Androgenic Alopecia", otherwise also known as male
pattern baldness.

reasons for hair loss are numerous. Besides DHT hair
loss, there are other reasons that can cause a person's

Men with
genetic predisposition for hair loss may have sensitive
areas in the scalp for male sex hormones.

imbalance.

a prolonged period, the follicles wilt and finally the
hair become thinner and shorter.
