If you’re perplexed as to how you can manage to lose hair where you want it most and yet continue to grow hair in the least ideal of places, Cucinello says you can blame a huge increase of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a sex steroid and androgen hormone. “This can cause hair on the head to thin and hair to sprout in less desirable areas, such as the face and chin,” he explains.
What you can do: Cucinello suggests taking a supplement, such as Nutrafol, which features the key ingredient saw palmetto for stabilizing harmful levels of DHT. “Other hormonal imbalances such as thyroid problems, particularly hypothyroidism, can cause hair loss. Have your doctor do a blood test to make sure your thyroid levels are in balance to help keep your hair from excessive shedding," he adds.
