DHT is one of the main silent culprits behind female hair loss. Yet, few women know what it really is or why it can become problematic.
DHT: What is it exactly?
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a hormone derived from testosterone, naturally produced by our bodies. The problem? Some women are particularly sensitive to it. This genetic sensitivity causes hair follicles to gradually shrink. Hair thins, falls out, grows back weaker... until it becomes invisible.
Why is it harmful to hair?
-
It shrinks the follicles, making the hair thinner.
-
It shortens the growth phase, hair falls out faster.
-
It slows down, or even blocks, regrowth in certain areas.
It's a slow process, often imperceptible... until you've already lost a lot of your density.
Who is concerned?
DHT can affect all women, especially those experiencing hormonal imbalances (PCOS, postpartum, menopause), who have a genetic predisposition to androgenetic alopecia, or who experience chronic stress. Some birth control pills can also promote its production.
