How does DHT (dihydrotestosterone) cause hair loss?

Does Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) cause hair loss?
Yes. Increased androgen hormones in PCOS can weaken hair follicles. Thinning is particularly noticeable on the crown and forehead. This condition is called ‘androgenetic alopecia’.
Can women also experience hair loss caused by DHT?
Yes. Especially in cases of hormonal imbalance (such as PCOS), DHT levels can increase. This leads to thinning at the crown and forehead.
