DHT and How It Affects Hair Loss
If DHT were not flowing through the veins and capillaries of almost every person in the world today, hair loss would not be nearly such a big problem as it is now. I guess that would be a good thing for us, but a bad thing for companies like Rogaine and Scalp Med.
Because there have been plenty of modern advances in science, the hair-loss community as a whole at least now understands what causes DHT, and of course how it can be stopped or its effects at least be lessened. As for the cause of DHT in men, it is mostly a result of a decrease or depleation of testosterone in the male body. As for women, it’s caused by a depletion of estrogen, causing her to have more testosterone in her body than she should.
Many people feel that genetics is what causes hair loss, which is only partially true. People from the same blood line will of course have many similar physical characteristics. However, if production is stopped, even a person who is genetically predisposed to have a hair loss problem will be able to overcome it and maintain a full head of hair.
What it comes down to for almost any person that has a problem with hair loss is that stopping production of DHT will cause your hair loss problem to diminish. Although there is not a product available right now on the market that will cause every person to completely stop losing their hair, there are a number of products that work well enough for almost anyone that they are definitely worth mentioning.
The product that I have been using for over a year now is called Provillus, and I have found it to hold up to its promises of stopping hair loss and regrowing hair. Provillus has a formula for both men and women, so they can help almost anyone who has a hair loss problem.
