Ginkgo Biloba - Can it accelerate hairloss?

[TwoHairsLeft]

I've been reading how ginkgo biloba can help your hair grow because it thins the blood in your head allowing nutrients to get to the scalp easier; but wouldn't this also allow the DHT to flow to your scalp easier as well which would accelerate hairloss?

I've done some research online but can't find anything that supports this theory- Anyone know about this?

This is a similar thing to taking Omega 3 or massaging the scalp, as all these things are designed to INCREASE bloodflow to the follicles.

I think it's generally perceived as a good thing, but now I don't really know why it is that the increased amounts of DHT and free testosterone that will therefore be coming into contact with the follicle as well as oxygen and nutrients aren't perceived as having a negative effect... I'll be watching this thread to learn more

No, I used Ginkgo for 1 year and not had problems with hair loss
