DHT is the enemy of hair follicles on your head as it is responsible for shrinking hair follicles and causing hair loss. DHT wants those follicles dead! This is often the reason for hair loss and hair thinning in men and women.
What is DHT?
Testosterone in our bodies converts to DHT. Even though women produce less testosterone even trace elements of this can lead to it converting into DHT. DHT is then held in a hair follicle’s oil glands and this shrinks hair follicles, making it impossible for healthy hair to survive.
DHT blocks the hair follicles from operating healthily, this happens in both men and women.
Is there a natural treatment or solution?
Research shows that products that contain peppermint oil such as Hairaze is successful in blocking the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. So treatments which contain this powerful but natural ingredient are key to stopping hair loss. It also stimulates the blood vessels by widening them and allowing more blood to circulate on the scalp. This in turn will encourage new hair growth. When DHT is present it narrows the blood vessels and shrinks the follicles. So peppermint oil will reverse this effect.
