Stress is one of the top causes of hair loss – wreaking havoc on hair’s growth cycle, sparking hair-damaging immune issues, and causing destructive behaviors that harm our hair and scalp.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone that plays a role in male and female pattern hair loss (also known as androgenic alopecia). DHT is a byproduct of testosterone that binds to hair follicles – causing them to shrink and produce fewer, thinner hairs. In men, it can lead to male pattern hair loss with its distinctive receding M-shaped hairline and in women it causes overall hair thinning.
