Dht is an active metabolite of testosterone. Testosterone is made in testis and adrenals and is very important. There are dht sensitive receptors on hair which are responsible for male pattern alopecia. There are medicine available both orally and topical to counter this action(prescription).a healthy lifestyle and diet may slow the hair fall but can't prevent it .
