Hair loss and thinning hair is a sensitive and very frustrating subject of discussion for both men and women!
Pattern hair loss is believed to result from the conversion of testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) by the 5-alpha-Oreductase (5AR) enzyme. DHT attach to the hair follicles, causing a negative change in the growth pattern of hair. The hair shrinks in diameter and the hair growth cycle becomes shorter. The result is smaller, thinner, virtually invisible hairs and shrinking of hair coverage on the scalp.
