| We know that DHT is the DIRECT cause of hair loss, and this has been established for a long time. But it seems there is some confusion about what produces the DHT. And this is vital in understanding how to effectively stop loss of hair.DHT has the rather apt nickname "the ageing hormone". This is because it seems to play a vital role in the many ageing processes of the body. This includes hair loss. How there comes to be lots of DHT is an interesting and quite misunderstood process...Many people seem to think that it is testosterone that causes DHT. Well, in the most part this is incorrect. It is certain estrogens that produce DHT, for example xenoestrogens. Levels of estrogen become very high due to external influences like diet and the environment, and this turns into a destruction condition called Estrogen Dominance.Estrogen Dominance is basically a state of excessive estrogen in the body, and when this happens DHT is produced in large amounts. Amounts that cause ageing and ill health, fast.The DHT attacks hair follicles on the head, and either neutralizes them so that they don't grow hair whilst in that state, or totally destroy them, meaning no hair will ever grow there again, unless stem cell research progresses to the point where new hair follicles can be planted - but that's at least 7 years away).When it comes down to it, the cause of hair loss is not really DHT, but the factors that cause estrogen dominance. These include toxins in food and the environment, and estrogen forming foods.Colin Montana has set up a free website about solving your hairloss problem.
