Working Out and Hair Loss

June 30 2006, 10:34 am PT | Posted in: Hair Loss Causes

Dear Dr. Rassman,
Is working out/weight training a cause for hair loss. I have read that DHT levels increase after workouts. Could you comment on this and suggest alternatives?
thanks.

I would doubt that working out will increase hair loss even if there are subtle changes in DHT levels. Stress reduction benefits and general body health should produce healthier hair because your body is healthier.
