DHT and Hair Loss - WHAT IS DHT!
Research indicates that the primary cause of hair thinning in men and women is DHT (dihydrotestosterone). As we age, DHT builds up in the scalp and damages the hair producing follicles which eventually die.
DHT works to break down a hair follicle by attaching itself to genetically predetermined hair follicles. It can cause the blood supply that feeds a hair to become damaged. DHT slowly thins the hair over time for most men and women. Men have genetically predisposed hairs located on the crown and at the hair line and temples. The final result for some men is the loss of hair on the top of the head in the shape of a horse shoe.
Women have receptors located over the entire head. This is why women have general thinning. It is impossible to diagnose DHT hair loss based on the pattern of hair loss because mineral deficiency as well as iron deficiency, deep dirt and sebum plug and many others gives the same appearance in women. DHT is the body's conversion of testosterone into a derivative of testosterone called DHT and can be found in men and women (especially after menopause). It is found in teenagers as young as 13. It is believed that some of us are more predisposed to the effects of DHT than others. It is also a belief that genetics does play a part but it also believed that diet does as well as stress in magnifying the effects of DHT.
80% of women with hair thinning or women with hair loss have serious build up of dirt and bacteria on their hair root. This is because of the sticky products that women use for styling, attracts dirt! This dirt, bacteria and sebum build up must be removed in order to allow the hair to come through from the hair follicle.
