DHT is a substance the male body creates from testosterone, a male hormone.
Usually, this hormone serves an important purpose in the body during childhood development, but once the level of DHT in the body becomes elevated due to illness or age, it attaches to the hair follicles causing them to shrink and fall out.
The more effectively hair loss products for women can prevent the formation of DHT in your bloodstream, the more effectively your scalp can restore vital nutrients to the hair follicles.
