What is DHT Hair Loss?

DHT hair loss is due to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of the male hormone testosterone. Women have a small amount of this hormone, testosterone under normal conditions even though they are born with female hormones.

Scientific research concluded that testosterone was the reason for male and female pattern hair loss in the past but now with the latest technology scientists and doctors have discovered that the main culprit of hair loss is due to the derivative of the male hormone testosterone known as DHT. 

The hormone testosterone converts to DHT through the enzyme 5-alpha reductase.

When this happens DHT will cause hair loss in both men and women. 

DHT makes hair follicles shrink and die. Sorry to sound so serious but this is really what DHT does to your hair follicles.
