Hair loss in women is associated with ageing, hormones, androgens or a genetic predisposition. By far the most common cause of hair thinning in women is due to Androgenic Dependent Alopecia. This is brought about by the conversion of Testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone ( DHT ). DHT is the main Androgen involved in female hair thinning. A very high percentage of women who suffer hair loss have an excess of DHT. Dihydrotestosterone destroys the blood supply to the hair follicles.
