Natural ingredients that block DHT

Best Oils to Block DHT Naturally (And Regrow Hair Without Minoxidil)

Hair fall that just… won't stop?

Chances are, the real villain isn’t your shampoo, or stress — it’s something called DHT.

If you’ve Googled things like “how to stop male pattern hair loss” or “why am I balding at 23?” — you've already run into this three-letter enemy.

Today, we’ll break it all down:

  • What is DHT?
  • Why it causes hair fall
  • How to block it naturally using oils
  • And how Anther Hair Oil delivers real results — without Minoxidil, Finasteride, or chemicals

🧬 What is DHT and Why Does It Kill Hair?

DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a byproduct of testosterone.

Sounds harmless — but it’s not.

In genetically sensitive people (men & women), DHT:

  • Shrinks hair follicles
  • Shortens hair growth cycles
  • Eventually causes follicles to close permanently

This leads to:

  • Receding hairlines
  • Bald patches
  • Severe thinning

💊 Why Not Just Use Minoxidil or Finasteride?

  • Minoxidil: Helps some people but causes itching, flaking, rebound hair loss when stopped
  • Finasteride: Effective DHT blocker but may cause libido issues, mood changes, and is not recommended for women

That’s where natural DHT-blocking oils win.
