Androgenetic alopecia is a progressive, nonscarring alopecia that affects the regions of the scalp with the most androgen-sensitive hair follicles, resulting in a characteristic pattern of balding (bitemporal scalp in men and vertex and frontal scalp in women).
Follicular miniaturization: Androgen shortens the anagen phase of hair growth โ vellus hair formation (thin, short hair)
TL;DR - DHT can lead to baldness
