Why does Baldness Happen?
The most common cause of baldness is a combination of genetics and hormones. The hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is responsible for the miniaturization of hair follicles, which leads to hair loss.
What does DHT Do?
DHT is a hormone that is produced in the body by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. DHT is responsible for the development and maintenance of male sex characteristics. It plays a role in the growth of facial and body hair, the deepening of the voice, and the enlargement of the prostate.
Why is DHT Connected With Balding?
DHT is connected with balding because it is a hormone that is produced in the body that is responsible for hair growth. When there is too much DHT in the body, it can cause hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair.
