It’s obvious that the only place hair really falls out on a human, is the scalp. What does the rest of the body have that blocks DHT that the scalp doesn’t? Our eyebrows are near the scalp yet they do not recede. Also there must be a reason why only the hair on the top of ones head recedes and not the sides or the back. There has to be a key difference between the hair in the back and on the top. Can taking dead DHT and applying it to the scalp cause the hair to become immune?
Photosynthesis is what makes grass live. When grass doesn’t get sun it dies. When hair falls it is because the roots are not being protected from harmful enzymes. Therefore if we can find some chemical (which I know there are somewhere) that either capsulates the root or protects it, we may have our answer. Blocking the DHT only does so much; we must find a way for the root to either kill or protect itself from DHT. This defense chemical can be applied to the pores of each root, or if taken orally should be able to capsulate it and or fight off harmful enzymes.
Stem cells would make the most sense because they could be programmed to simply direct DHT away from the scalp. But we are far away from this.

Why blocking DHT is harmful
-It decreases testosterone therefore increasing estrogen. This is why DHT needs to be killed not blocked.
So what’s the solution to hair loss?
- Transplant is the only real solution, but they are many things that may help to the point that many may call them successes. Also expect the prices to decrease as hair restoration excels.
Further research may include?
- Understanding why the hair in the back and sides don’t recede.
- Creating a way to kill DHT not just block it.
- Capsulate the roots of hair.
-Vaccinate the hair loss by applying deadened forms of DHT to the scalp so it develops immunity.
How would I make my product if I have today’s ingredients?
- I would use all DHT blockers including Finasteride.
- I would add minoxidil topically.
- Add a deadened form of DHT topically.

Giants,

I like the way you think, very logical approach. This stuff probably goes back to caveman days and procreation - females looking for the youngest strongest male would turn away from the balding aging one. Crap, that still happens today!

At my age, I can't wait for some cure to come along so I went with ht. Hopefully they will someday find a way but I feel the it is not the priority vs other health issues like cancer etc. Seems like there would be a fortune there for whoever comes up with the cure though.

giants,

Good job...you are thinking very logically about this as nobuzz has pointed out.

Though I'm not sure if "killing" DHT would be a good idea. Since DHT is NOT the root cause of hair loss - only the hormone that impacts genetically predisposed hairs, I'd suggest finding a way to locate and turn off the gene might be a better approach.

I believe DHT has other uses in the body, that if terminated could cause other problems. That being said...I'd have to research to find out what positive functions that DHT has in the body.

If anybody knows, feel free to share your thoughts.

its just interesting becasue it seems sometimes that we make things very complicated when dealing with hair. it may just be a simple as finding a way to capsulate the roots of the hair follicals

giants,

I'm not a researcher - at least not in the scientific sense, however, I'm sure it's a lot more complex than it sounds from a layman's point of view.

DNA and genetic code is extremely complicated. Though I admit, I really don't know how hard scientists are working on a hair loss "cure".

It would be nice though.
