no, all hairs need DHT to grow. body hair is an example.
scalp hairs have DHT a lot of years before puberty, sebaceous gland need this hormone to make sebum.
Till scientists dont take the idea never we shall advance.....
It has always been known that it's incomplete. I don't think anyone ever thought DHT was the only culprit, there are hundreds of genes involved.
I have to work for a living,so i cant stay here responding to you.I wish i could.You go on the offensive and then on the defensive.It pays to be humble,obviously you dont know that.Humility is a big thing which obviously you don't know.You re changing your tune now about DHT.My expertise is at a different major not biology as you noticed.But i have some common sense knowledge about hair loss and if i wanna know something all i have to do ask a member and i ll have an answer in a minute.I just took a quick look at the Bayer thread and i could nt get the terms right,as the dog pointed out.No need to get smart or arrogant.I am not competing with you in anything,especially in hair loss theory where i consider you to be an expert.Good luck my brother.
Last response of the day.Its one thing to give your opinion and its very different to force you opinion .Pigeon try to be your own man
Why don't you just let it go Bro?What makes you think i wasn't calm?Its funny i thought the same thing about you ,that you were getting uncomfortable.You lectured me about DHT,etc and now you re gonna lecture me about discussion?A discussion you aiways try to dominate?Dont tell me, nobody told you that before. "I disagree with you?'Who can possibly disagree with you Bro?Who can possibly challenge you?You think very highly of yourself Bro.Who cares?Really.
Fully agree, DHT is important.
Hairs don't need DHT to grow, body hairs need DHT to transition from vellus to terminal, but afterwards it is not needed, simply having testosterone is enough. This means nothing for scalp hair because it's site-specific. There is no DHT at 1 years old when your scalp hair starts growing. If there was then your body hair would start growing too. People who are born without the ability to produce 5-ar2 and DHT don't present with body hair, but they grow a normal head of hair and never go bald. It's pretty clear that whatever the reason, DHT is good for body hair, but bad for scalp hair, and it's not required for scalp hair to grow.

Can someone recommend a 1.5mm dermastamp in UK? I bought this:
but the needles are quite thick and close together, so it actually chops the existing hair!
Need something with finer needles to ensure no danger of scaring.

Acording to you, there is not sebum in scalp hairs.
The reality is other, scalp hairs have sebum even in prepubertals
Sebaceous gland need DHT to make sebum and pilosebaceous unit can make itself DHT from cholesterol.
"lowering DHT levels in adulthood had no effect on sebum production. If the gland is rich in the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase-2, it is proposed that the sebaceous gland is either exquisitely sensitive to DHT, requiring only small amounts for normal development and function, or that male levels of testosterone compensate for DHT and maintain normal sebaceous gland activity throughout life. It is also possible that 5 alpha-reductase-1 is the enzyme of the sebaceous gland and is unaffected in the inherited condition and by finasteride."
The androgen control of sebum production. Studies of subjects with dihydrotestosterone deficiency and complete androgen insensitivity - PubMed
To evaluate the androgen control of sebum, subjects with complete androgen insensitivity and male pseudohermaphrodites with inherited 5 alpha-reductase deficiency and decreased dihydrotestosterone (DHT) production had sebum production studied. A hydrophobic polymeric film applied to the forehead...

"in androgen-insensitive subjects"
there is nothing related to it
Imperato papers are not real
Androgens are vital to our survive, not only in the skin but brain
And the question is about DHT and sebum in persons years before puberty, .... they have sebum in scalp hairs.

You are waisting your time.You re not going anywhere with this guy.He so abnoxious its unreal plus he has his cronies following him everywhere downvoting everybody who argues with him."in androgen-insensitive subjects"

"I ts called back and forth discussion bro.Calm down".Even Cotcarelis doesnt claim to understand everything,but you do.You search the internet to find even a footnote to support you claims.
You said: "Sebaceous gland need DHT to make sebum""in androgen-insensitive subjects"

And the question is about DHT and sebum in persons years before puberty, .... they have sebum in scalp hairs.
The paper's conclusions: "male levels of testosterone [may] compensate for DHT and maintain normal sebaceous gland activity throughout life"
You: this is totally unrelated to my claim.
Ok, sure.
"adult male pseudohermaphrodites with 5 alpha-reductase deficiency and a selective decrease in DHT production had sebum production scores identical to normal age-matched males."

Sebum flow theory is worse than craniofacial theory, yet you persist with it for decades without convincing a single person of your ideas and ignoring every point that dispels your theory. Here's a link if anyone is interested in reading more about the problems with sebum theory. https://www.hairlosstalk.com/intera...ersons-are-more-vulnerable-to-hairloss.29109/
