Good website for info on hair loss http://www.americanhairloss.org

Here is a good article on hairloss. It is a little technical. http://npntserver.mcg.edu/html/alopecia/documents/HairGrowthLoss/Growth&LossOfHair.html

Anti-androgenic and hair growth promoting activities of Lygodii spora (spore of Lygodium japonicum) I. Active constituents inhibiting testosterone 5alpha-reductase http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=12033503

In this article, I found why DHT has different effects on scalp hair versus beard hair (and presumably hair on the sides). It says that beard hair has 5-alpha reductase 2 while scalp hair has 5-alpha reductase 1. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/pagerender.fcgi?artid=50427&pageindex=4#page

Does anyone know of any websites with info on the "details" done to the genetic and enzymatic level of hairloss? Many sites are only for laymen. I am looking for info regarding protein and hormone reactions.
