Is There More to Hair Loss than DHT?

quick question regarding dht and hairloss. if dht was some how able to be 100 % blocked would that totally stop hairloss or is their more to it than that ?

We know that if the testicles were removed (as done in one of two identical twins in a study in the 1950s) that hair loss will not occur. We also know that once the hair has been exposed to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the impact is dramatic in the speed of the hair loss. The twin that had his testicles removed for mental illness (a barbaric process) had a full head of hair, but was given testosterone and rapidly lost his hair. The other twin, with both testicles in tact, went fairly bald naturally.

With all that being said, the complete blocking of DHT might not be the only solution to eliminating hair loss. There could be other factors in play, such as various diseases… or even something else entirely that has yet to be discovered or proven.
