A question about hair follicles and DHT? Estrogen & testosterone?
I have just read an interesting answer that DHT (testosterone) is responsible for hair loss because it blocks the hair follicles thus stopping hair from growing/choking off the follicles. Well i'm a 22 year old female experiencing some hair loss after having my son almost 2 years ago. I realize that at first it's normal to have excessive hair loss after the birth of a child because of all the hormones but it has not returned to my pre pregnancy state. My hair extremely thin and my scalp is even visible.
My question is how can i eliminate testosterone from my body and when i do will that prevent hair loss or restore the hair that i have lost? Does increasing estrogen mean decreasing testosterone and if it does how can i increase estrogen? Which is easier. Someone mentioned on here that Oat grass will help lower testosterone levels?
i'd really like my thick healthy hair again as opposed to being half bald and having thin disgusting damaged hair at just 22.

For some reason in your endocrinology, DHT is causing this post-birth. Sourcing the reason would be best, but the easiest answer for now is to supplement with DHT blockers/antagonizers. Propecia is one of them.
Also an adjunct would be to address your circulation by incorporating capsaican – the ingredient in hot peppers, or gingko, or something else effective so that your capillaries are getting dilated thereby getting the raw materials your follicles need to start manufacturing hair.
There is a semi-synthetic compound called vinpocetine that targets the parts of the circulatory system in the head region. Perhaps that will get circulation going as you supplement with an anti-DHT medication.
