DHT
And Hair Loss
There are a variety of ways in which one may lose their hair. One of the more common types of hair loss symptoms is known as
DHT.
DHT is a problem that is usually known to be inherited and is especially well known in
relation to male pattern hair loss and baldness.
Knowing what DHT is and how to get treatment for the problem, will help you in preventing hair
loss and keeping a fuller head of hair.
DHT is also known as dihydrotestosterone. This is a male hormone
that is found in the body and usually develops earlier on in life.
As this hormone circulates throughout the body, it is known to directly affect the growth of
hair and hair loss, especially among men.
It does this by shrinking the hair follicle until it can no longer produce hairs in the scalp
area.
While there are a variety of factors related to hair loss, DHT is known to be one of the main
reasons why males may be losing their hair.
DHT could also directly be related to genetics that are passed down from both the mother and
the father.
When one grows older, this certain genetic material will react to the age and cause the
hormone to react, as well. It does this by communicating with the hair follicle to produce an enzyme known as “five
alpha reductase”.
While this enzyme is typically known to help produce hair, when it combines with the hormone
DHT, it causes the hair follicles to become weaker because of the interaction.
Eventually, the follicles will also shrink and begin to cause baldness.
If you have DHT and it is a genetic factor in your family, you can always find a variety of
ways to prevent the hair loss.
This will need to be done by balancing out the hormone, as well as the enzyme that is produced
in the hair follicle.

By finding the right nutrients or ingredients, one will be able to block the hormone from
reacting to the hair.
There are also ways to prevent DHT from happening by producing better blood circulation in the
scalp.
This can be done by massaging your head continuously or by changing your diet to allow
circulation to move throughout your body more easily. Adding more
nutrients to your diet can also prevent DHT.
This will cause the hormone and the enzymes to still produce without severe reactions and will
continue to add nutrients to your hair and prevent damage.
Proteins, as well as things to balance out the DHT hormone, will help in preventing hair loss
through nutrients.
If you have DHT, then you are facing a genetic shift that produces hair
loss. By
knowing what this is and how it changes your hair growth, you can easily find ways to prevent the hair loss from
occurring.
As a result, you will have thicker and healthier hair that will last throughout your lifetime
and will not be affected by the genetics that were handed down to you.
