Can Low Testosterone Cause Hair Loss? Thursday, July 24, 2025
Low testosterone alone isn’t usually the main cause of hair loss. The real culprit is often dihydrotestosterone (DHT)—a byproduct of testosterone—and your hair follicles’ genetic sensitivity to it. Even people with low testosterone can have high DHT levels or sensitive follicles that lead to thinning. So, while hormones play a role, it’s not as simple as “low T = hair loss.” If you’re noticing hair changes, consult a healthcare provider to explore personalized solutions.
