Healthy Hair Begins with a Healthy Scalp
It is thought that the blockage of the hair’s sebaceous glands, aging of the cells, slowed circulation and the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone) have a strong correlation to the onset and the progression of hair loss and baldness called androgenic alopecia, or male-and female-pattern baldness. This type of hair loss is typically the greatest at the top of the head or around the temples. An enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) converts the hormone testosterone to DHT. DHT causes the miniaturization of the hair follicle and eventual loss of the hair.
