Why Do Follicles Become Sensitive To Dht At Some Point

[mdmnota]

Title says it all. I mean DHT is streaming trough our bodys since teens, so how come at one point it creates trouble? What happens at exact same moment when we start losing our hair? What changes? Wouldn't an answer to that question lead to an end of hair loss

It's called genes.

So everyithing we can't explain, it's genes?

I'm sure it's not the answer you were hoping for, but yes, that's the answer. The God factor, so to speak. There was a genetic study done in the UK on hairloss in which they thought they could be close to an answer because there appeared to be only 8 factors involved. The study concluded in 2015 after they further found there were 243 pathways of genetic influence on hairloss. Basic genetic research and advances in technology will reveal those secrets. In my opinion around 2029. You can glean info on stuff like this from meetings like RAADfest and A4M. I still keep in contact with friends involved in various types of genetic research. So from that I get that stab at when the light bulb "might" come on. And so, life goes on. Then it ends. Enjoy!

DHT is only a factor in common hairloss.
Gene's lottery is another key, people with dense and thick hair are less prone to develop Androgenetic Alopecia.

baldness is a bad luck just like cancer, the differece is with cancer you die, but with baldness you wish to die.

Rather true, Balding Curse. Then sometimes, I'll see the caregiver for a group of mentally disabled adults leading them across the street near the coffee shop I hang out at. Sometimes another hobbled by cerebral palsy going by. Then, I go home, stand in front of a mirror and slap my semi-bald self in the face several times for even considering selfpity
