Reminder: You're not balding because of DHT - you just have ****ty genetics

Good genetics + elevated DHT = NW0 no hair loss

****ty genetics + elevated DHT = it's over

DHT is good, and it exposes ****ty genetics
Men who are exposed to exceptionally high levels of DHT in response to the daily application of DHT for a long period of time didn’t experience acne, male androgenic alopecia or other androgen-associated skin pathology.

Furthermore, the differences in mean values of DHT were not significant according to the types of alopecia and the control group. And increased serum concentrations of DHT is not correlated with the advance of alopecia.

This study speculates that hair loss severity is affected by other factors other than DHT, such as the duration of alopecia or the sensitivity of hair follicle cells to androgens.

Some people with hair loss have high DHT and others don’t, and some with high DHT have normal hair whereas others don’t.

Serum.. DHT has the biggest effect locally made within the cell with 5-a-r. Like scalp hair loss is localized high levels of 5-a-r and DHT. Muscle DHT strength growth is localized DHT (and epidermal growth factor)

Aaaand why are localized DHT levels high within baldcels? Because of follicular genetic sensitivity to androgens - AKA ****ty genetics.

DHT = good

****ty genetics = bad

Unfortunately for finacels, finasteride/propecia decreases serum DHT by 70% - not good!
