Most hair loss in men — and even in some women — is caused by DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone derived from testosterone.
In people who are genetically sensitive, DHT attaches to hair follicles and gradually shrinks them. Over time, hair becomes thinner, grows slower, and eventually stops growing altogether.
Here’s the hard truth:
No treatment can stop your body from producing DHT forever.
What you can do is slow down its effects or strengthen your hair so it resists longer.
Effective options include:
- Minoxidil – It doesn’t block DHT, but it extends the growth phase and reactivates dormant follicles. It’s one of the most scientifically recognized treatments. At NewGrowth, we pair it with a dermaroller to maximize absorption and results.
- Nourishing oils (like our Batana Oil) – These don’t target DHT directly, but they thicken the hair shaft, improve scalp health, and make your hair look fuller and healthier.
- Nutritional supplements – Biotin, zinc, and essential fatty acids support hair health from within.
- Hair transplant surgery – The only permanent option for the treated areas, but it won’t protect non-transplanted hair from DHT’s effects.
The truth to remember:
No matter which method you choose, you’ll need to keep using it to maintain results.
The moment you stop, DHT will begin affecting your follicles again, and hair loss will continue.
That’s why managing hair loss should be seen as a long-term routine.
Our NewGrowth kits combine Minoxidil and Batana Oil to slow hair loss, encourage regrowth, and strengthen your hair against the effects of DHT.
You can’t erase DHT — but you can control how much it controls your hair.
