Kinda sorta: 1st Testosterone is converted into DHT (and Estradiol, too). 2nd Low Testosterone isn't necessarily a good thing, regardless of age. 3rd Hair loss can be a hereditary issue as well as one of stress or even infection. Yes, it can also result from excess DHT but lowering Testosterone to save your hairline is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Research finasteride to lower DHT & save hair

Wrong question: If hair is important to you, see s dermatologist. Begin with a diagnosis. Finasteride and minoxidil are useful to many. Your question is "am I loosing too much hair, what kind of hair loss, what should I do about it?"
