I mean the 5-AR type I & II density on scalp which varies between individuals; this is if you have much of this one, its likely the DHT levels will affect you sooner or later. If you dont, it doesn't matter that much.
Theres strong evidence about steroids on speeding up process of hairloss with continous high doses of AAS, both aromatizable and non aromatizable ones.
I wouldnt grant credence to any of that "DHT=bald" quackery. If any studies showed serum androgen levels having a positive affect on balding than likely they are small-scope non-causative associations. For example men with higher androgen levels have more hair in large studies. There are many cases where females bald just like men and have no DHT circulating. Danny Roddy has written extensively on the subject of stress hormones being the central cause of hairloss, and males being more susceptible due to lower progesterone levels, irrespective of T/DHT.
The whole DHT blame came from a very simple, incorrect assumption: "Women don't have DHT and they don't go bald!!!"
