Dht stays temporarily or permenantly in scalp ? how it can be emoved to start healthier growth of hair ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DHT..: .dihydrotestosterone is an androgen, a male sex hormone. It is produced in the adrenal glands, hair follicles and in the testes and prostate of men. DHT undermines the absorption of vital nutrients required for healthy hair follicles..shorter growing phases and longer resting phases result. Drugs known as 5 alpha reductase inhibitors, finasteride, can reduce DHT and allow healthier hair growth.
