Is this true?

[Buffboy]

I read somewhere else that if you bald in your 20's or earlier - then it's because of very high DHT-level or/and hyper-sensitive receptors. This should - according to others - lead to that it's almost impossible to stop hairloss with the known treatments. This is why men who bald in later stages of life have great success with the treatments - bacause of moderat DHT and/or moderat sensitive receptors. If they had either high DHT levels or/and very sensitive receptors, they would have begun to bald at an earlier stage.

I sure hope this isn't true, but sounds logic to me.

That does sound logical, but I'd say there's probably more to it than that. I know of one study published in the Journal of Dermatological Science last year (Analysis of genetic polymorphisms of steroid 5a-reductase type 1 and 2 genes in Korean men with androgenetic alopecia, Journal of Dermatological Science (2003) 31, 135-141), which couldn't find a link between different 5-AR genes and Androgenetic Alopecia. They also couldn't find a link to repsonse to finasteride.

Of course, the difference could be at the point where DHT impacts on hair follicles.

Unfortunately, your prognosis as far as hair loss goes is definitely worse the earlier you start losing it. Even if the current treatments can't stop it though, they should still be able to slow it down. At least I hope they can.

Funny, I began to bald slowly at 19 and my regimen is still going strong at 27 months.

So much for internet logic.

Why impossible to stop hair loss? I'm sure that you would decrease DHT for like 99.9% if you use dutasteride 2.5mg, equol, progesterone, spironolactone 5%, ell cranell, xandrox 15, zix, sp, etc., all together! :wink:

And even if you dont do it, castrate yourself and you will see hair growing like crazy! (but i dont recommend this)
