    Default Can you get your hair back by blocking DHT?

    Hi there,
    I want to ask whether some of you are using inhibitors of 5-alpha-reductase to decrease the amount of DHT in your body. Also I was wondering if one were to eliminate DHT in his body would his hair stop falling out and then regrow? I know that there might be some side effects but I do not freaking give a hoot. I am willing to do almost anything to stop my hair from falling out regardless of consequences. And please do not tell some sh*t like oh it is dangerous and so one. It is my decision and I won't change it. I just want to ask whether it is possible to get your hair back by blocking DHT for some prolonged period. Thanks

    DHT plays a major role in hair loss. DHT actually restricts the follicles ability to produce hair growth. When it attaches itself to the receptor cells of genetically predisposed hair follicles, DHT prevents proteins, vitamins and minerals from providing the needed nourishment to sustain life in these follicles and with this, also causes them to shrink.
    You can use either natural treatments or drugs to stop excessive DHT production. Saw palmetto helps blocks the production of DHT hence added in many supplements. Propecia is the most popular DHT blocker drug, sold to stop hair loss. There are many supplements available to stop hair loss with complex formula’s, all of them work on DHT blocking mechanism.

    Experts say that 95% of cases of male pattern baldness occur because of the effects of DHT on the hair follicles. Blocking DHT can be accomplished by keeping DHT from attaching to the receptors in the hair follicles and/or reducing the production of DHT. There are also medicines available as Odam mentioned, and they work by inhibiting the production of the enzyme 5 alpha reductase which converts testosterone into DHT.
    Just like saw palmetto, Pygeum reduces the levels of DHT in the blood and reduces the number of sites where DHT can attach. This includes reducing the number of hair follicles where DHT would bind. However, how much DHT people produce depends almost entirely on their genetic make-up - the more that is produced, the greater and more widespread miniaturization is, resulting in greater hair loss. To get good regrowth, you should opt for multimodal approach that means combining diet, exercise and DHT blocker together to prevent hair loss and stimulate regrowth.

    "Dick ornamentation" is a valid medical term? :P

    Results/sides are on an individual basis. See a dermatologist and plan a regiment, drop the fin if your dick doesnt work.

    Hair regrowth occurs differently for everyone. I've seen some use Dutasteride and topical Minoxidil and get little regrowth. For some, I've seen others with extensive hair loss who get excellent regrowth just by being on Finasteride.

    For long term results, you'll need to use an oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, by using either Dutasteride or Finasteride. It seems like there's more value towards Dutasteride since it does inhibit more Type II 5-AR enzyme than Finasteride.

    androgens are certainly the enemy if your losing hair. The more T+DHT you stop the better your hair does.
