This question comes from a member of our [tag]Hair Loss[/tag] Social Community and Discussion Forums

After becoming concerned about my [tag]hair loss[/tag] I started doing some research and found that [tag]dihydrotestosterone[/tag] ([tag]DHT[/tag]) is the hormone responsible for [tag]genetic baldness[/tag]. Knowing this, I assume the best way to treat [tag]progressive hair loss[/tag] is to “block” DHT? Is this true? Is DHT an important element of hair loss?

DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is the hormone (essentially) responsible for hair loss; in this sense, it is very important.

In my opinion, the best way to “block” DHT is to prevent it from forming in inappropriate amounts in the first place. Medications that block the activity of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme (mainly type II 5-alpha-reductase), the compound responsible for converting testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, will greatly decrease the amount of DHT available to affect [tag]hair follicles[/tag] and cease the progressive loss.

As of now, the two compounds known to block the 5-alpha-reductase activity are [tag]finasteride[/tag] (the active ingredient in [tag]Propecia[/tag]) and [tag]dutasteride[/tag] (the active ingredient in [tag]Avodart[/tag]). Of these two, finasteride is proven safe and effective for treating hair loss and, in my opinion, is the most effective compound to block DHT and prevent progressive baldness.

  • If you desire to regrow your hair a good beginning maybe eating an improved diet with more protein. I went on a diet plan and lost 75 pounds, After I lost the excess body fat I noticed my hair stopped thinning, My doctor said it was probably from increased flow of blood and more protein intake I also regrew my hair by taking a DHT blocker after and I used a certain shampoo which almost completely re-grew my hair.. I hope this helps you out..
