My hair shaft is as thick as it’s always been. Does this mean that my hair loss is not caused by DHT? http://www.nicehair.org/your-questions/you-say-that-the-effect-of-dht-is-a-reduction-of-the-diameter-of-the-hair-follicle-and-hair-shaft-my-hair-shaft-is-as-thick-as-its-always-been-does-this-mean-that-my-hair-loss-is-not-caused-by-dht http://www.nicehair.org/your-questions/you-say-that-the-effect-of-dht-is-a-reduction-of-the-diameter-of-the-hair-follicle-and-hair-shaft-my-hair-shaft-is-as-thick-as-its-always-been-does-this-mean-that-my-hair-loss-is-not-caused-by-dht#comments Sun, 04 Oct 2009 23:41:49 +0000 admin http://www.nicehair.org/?p=331 It is likely that DHT is a factor in your hair loss. From my experience you are likely to notice loss of hair numbers before you start to notice the thinning of individual hairs; however it is likely that you will start to notice the thinning of individual hairs in time. As a male with hair loss, DHT is thought to be the most common cause.

I would recommend that you examine your scalp very closely under a good light. If you can see any abnormalities in the skin, or if the skin looks unhealthy in some way, email me back describing the symptom you have observed and I will advise you further. If you don’t notice any abnormalities from your visual examination of the scalp, it’s likely that DHT is your primary cause of hair loss.

I would also recommend giving your scalp a very good wash with a shampoo containing salicylic acid, in order to remove some of the dead skin cells to give your scalp a breather.

But in answer to your question; without any more information all I can tell you is that it is likely that DHT is a cause of your hair loss and if you don’t do anything about it now you will start to notice a reduction in the diameter of individual hairs over the next year or so.

All the best,

The answer to this is a little more complex than you might think. There are foods that you can consume that inhibit the conversion of testosterone into DHT. But really, you don’t want to have to do that. Ideally you wouldn’t need to.

The three factors that lead to excess DHT

If you want to reduce DHT levels, your goals should be orientated around these three problems:

  • Poor liver efficiency / over worked liver
  • Hormonal imbalance
  • Stress

If you have healthy hormonal balance you should have healthy DHT levels: levels that will not cause hair loss. So really, if you want to know what foods you need to eat/avoid to inhibit DHT levels, you need to know what foods you need to eat/avoid to attain healthy hormonal balance.

These would primarily be foods that detoxify and strengthen the liver and foods that rebuild prostaglandin numbers. Unfortunately it’s not as simple as “eat these foods twice a day for three weeks and your liver will be at maximum strength and your hormones will be perfectly balanced”. It’s more difficult than that. If you want to achieve these two goals you’ll need a specific well thought out programme, like the one in my eBook.

In my eBook I explain how to:

  • Detoxify and maximise the strength of your liver using a 28 day procedure
  • Balance your hormones by rebuilding prostaglandin numbers
  • Change the way you deal with stress to minimise hormonal surges

While doing these three things will help reduce DHT levels by eliminating the underlying causes or excess DHT, I also show you several cheap foods you can consume to directly inhibit testosterone to DHT conversion by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase.

You could simply use these foods to inhibit DHT levels but it’s far better to combat this problem at the source. There are several other things that you can and should do to reduce DHT levels: other factors that help improve hormonal balance. These are all explained in my eBook.

The eBook is a hundred pages long, yet it is written in very concise language, so it is jam packed with information. I don’t babble on in the eBook like I tend to do on this blog. The eBook is strictly hard hitting instructions that achieve results. So if you want to eliminate the underlying causes of hair loss, one by one, grab a copy today, while it’s still half price.

Thanks for your time and feel free to ask me any more questions.
