Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a potent androgen hormone that can lead to hair loss issues like androgenetic alopecia and male pattern baldness. Prescription DHT shampoos, such as those containing ketoconazole, effectively reduce DHT levels at hair follicles and are more supported by research compared to their natural counterparts. Over-the-counter shampoos often use natural ingredients like saw palmetto and egg oil but lack extensive research backing. While generally mild in side effects, these shampoos are effective in early hair loss stages and can complement other treatments, particularly for those on hormonal medications.
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen hormone derived from testosterone, can cause hair loss in men, particularly through conditions like androgenetic alopecia and male pattern baldness.
Prescription DHT shampoos featuring ketoconazole are proven to reduce DHT production effectively when applied to new hair growth follicles, significantly aiding in hair restoration.
Natural DHT shampoos containing ingredients like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil may lower DHT levels, but research on their efficacy remains limited compared to prescription options.
While DHT shampoos can effectively support treatment against androgenetic alopecia, they cannot reverse hair loss, making them more suitable for early-stage hair loss management.
