Hair KILLING Hormones
DHT(Dihydrotestosterone) is known as the hair-killer.
Dihydrotestosterone belongs to the class of compounds called androgens, also commonly called androgenic hormones or testoids. Androgens are part of the biology of gender by stimulating and controlling the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics. DHT is 3 times more potent than testosterone; testosterone is 5-10 times more potent than adrenal androgens.
DHT is produced by males in vivo and is responsible for the formation of male sex-specific characteristics. DHT is an important contributor to other characteristics generally attributed to males, including facial and body hair growth, and deepening of the voice. DHT may also play a crucial role in both sex drive and the growth of muscle tissue. Unlike other androgens such as testosterone, DHT cannot be converted by the enzyme aromatase to estradiol. It, therefore, is frequently used in research settings to distinguish between effects of testosterone caused by binding to the androgen receptor, and those caused by testosterone's conversion to estradiol and subsequent binding to estrogen receptors. DHT is the primary contributing factor in male-pattern baldness. Female-pattern baldness is more complex, and DHT is only one of many causes of women's hair loss.
Facts of hair growth and loss
- Puberty boys having an extreme high level of testosterone and DHT grow their beautiful hairs without any problem. The cornerstone lies in the STRESS.
- Men with a a high level of DHT and STRESS lose their hairs!!! Stress itself (and all it's induced inflammatory factors in the bloodstream) depletes melatonin production during the night, even without DHT!
- Men with a low testosterone also lose their hair, which means that DHT won't burn hair unless sufficient amount of stress hormones are found into the bloodstream or there is lack of testosterone.
The main hair losing factors are 2
- High DHT + High STRESS hormone level = constricted the arteries that burn hair. An excessive DHT is considered to be in the range of(around 30-85 ng/dl)
- A low testosterone level = disabling hair growth.
Other possible factors:
- Deficiency of Growth Hormone, DHEA, and Free Testosterone
- Poor blood circulation in the top of your head(mainly due to excessive stress hormones into the bloodstream that constrict the arteries).
- Poor blood circulation due to the deficiency of the essential neurotransmitters acetylcholine and nitric oxide and the dilator cGMP.
- Genes - control your general metabolism (but there's always something you can influence in your favor)
- Over-masturbation, which causes excessive testosterone-DHT conversion in the prostate and testicles. So frequent orgasm can leave you with excessive DHT hormone into the bloodstream! Excessive orgasm also produce excessive prolactin and epinephrine(adrenaline) to induce the arterial constriction for a poor blood circulation everywhere in your body, particularly, scalp, prostate and joints.
When excessive sex stresses out your HPA(hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis), it also burns out your hair follicles, in particularly, with a high DHT, and high concentration of stress hormones such as - inflammatory hormone prostaglandin E2, cortisol, norepinephrine and epinephrine. Like it is not enough, but it leads to a constriction of the blood vessels in your scalp due to the chronic prolactin, norepineprhrine and epinephrine high levels.
