There are several reasons which lead to hair thinning/baldness among men. Of these, one of the main culprit for hair loss in men, is supposed to be the male hormone. A converted form of the male hormone is formed when the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase converts the male reproductive hormone. Normally 10 percent of it gets converted to a variant which is termed as a bad hormone due to its affect on hair follicles. This hormone plays a very important role in the early years of development of young male, but it’s seen to be a negative influence in the later years in some people.
LINK BETWEEN HIGH LEVELS OF HORMONE & HAIR LOSS:
- High levels of this hormone is one of the main cause of hair loss in men also considered and hence it is labelled as ‘bad hormone’.
- The bad hormone impacts the hair follicles negatively & shuts them down as its high levels blocks the proteins, vitamins, etc. to provide nourishment to the follicles.
- The bad hormone shortens the growth phase that results in miniaturization of follicles.
- The shunted growth of the hair shafts leads to thinning & balding.
BAD HORMONE AFFECTS DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS IN DIFFERENT WAYS:
- Studies & researches have proven that high Bad Hormone levels don’t lead to hair loss in all men in the same way.
- It is concluded that some men possess genes which makes their hair follicles more sensitive to Bad Hormone thus leading to its miniaturization.
