BioScalp DHTI Control Shampoo

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone derived from testosterone that plays a complex role in hair growth. While it contributes to body and facial hair development, it is also a key factor in androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss).

In individuals genetically sensitive to DHT, it binds to hair follicle receptors on the scalp, causing follicular miniaturization. This process shortens the hair growth cycle, leading to thinner, weaker strands until the follicles eventually stop producing hair. Over time, this results in hair thinning and balding, especially in men.

DHT blockers, such as finasteride or natural ingredients like saw palmetto, can help reduce its effects and slow hair loss. However, DHT does not affect all hair follicles equally—it primarily impacts scalp hair while stimulating growth in other areas, like the beard.

Hereditary hair thinning, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is closely linked to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a byproduct of testosterone. In individuals with a genetic predisposition, DHT binds to hair follicle receptors on the scalp, causing them to shrink over time. This miniaturization shortens the hair growth cycle, leading to thinner, weaker hair until follicles stop producing new strands altogether.

Hormonal scalp concerns, such as excess sebum production or scalp inflammation, can also be influenced by DHT. High DHT levels may overstimulate sebaceous glands, making the scalp oilier and more prone to dandruff or irritation. This can further weaken hair follicles, accelerating hair loss.

Managing DHT-related hair thinning often involves using DHT blockers like finasteride or natural inhibitors like saw palmetto, along with scalp treatments to maintain a healthy follicular environment.

Capixyl is an advanced hair growth complex that combines Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, a bioactive peptide, and Red Clover Extract, which contains Biochanin A, a natural DHT blocker. This innovative formula supports hair roots by strengthening follicles, reducing inflammation, and improving scalp health.

Capixyl works in several ways:

• DHT Regulation – Biochanin A helps inhibit 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT, a key factor in hair thinning.
• Follicle Strengthening – Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 stimulates proteins like collagen and laminin, reinforcing the hair root’s structure.
• Scalp Health – It reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, creating a healthier environment for hair growth.
• Hair Growth Stimulation – It extends the anagen (growth) phase, promoting thicker, stronger hair over time.

Better anchoring of hair follicles strengthens hair by improving its stability, reducing shedding, and supporting long-term growth. Hair follicles are embedded in the scalp’s dermal papilla, which provides nutrients and signals for healthy hair production. When the follicle’s connection to the scalp is weak—due to inflammation, DHT-related miniaturization, or poor scalp circulation—hair becomes more prone to thinning and premature fallout.

Stronger anchoring ensures that hair remains in the anagen (growth) phase longer, allowing it to grow thicker and healthier before naturally shedding. Ingredients like Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 (found in Capixyl) and Collagen-boosting peptides help reinforce the follicle’s structure by strengthening the extracellular matrix, which acts as the hair’s foundation. Additionally, a healthy scalp environment with adequate hydration, nutrients, and proper circulation further supports follicle stability, reducing excessive hair loss and promoting stronger, fuller strands over time.
