Under normal circumstances, the female body produces less male androgen hormones than the male body. However, certain hormonal changes in the female body can result in the production of more DHT. This can thin out head hair, while making other parts of the body hairier.

Women can be affected by elevated DHT production following pregnancy or after menopause. And women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can also be more susceptible.

As a result of menstrual cycles, the female body constantly experiences hormonal changes. Depending on individual sensitivity to certain fluctuations, hormonal changes can manifest themselves in the form of hair loss and hair that becomes thinner and limper.

Hairs grow in a cycle from the same follicles. The growth phase lasts for 2-6 years and, on average, repeats itself 20 times over the course of a human life. This means that someone with a short cycle starts balding sooner, while someone with a long cycle might still have a full head of hair at age 100. DHT shortens the hair growth cycle, which is why it is so important to identify hair loss at an early stage. That makes it possible to address the problem and keep a full head of hair all the way into old age.

Esthecin is a hair growth serum that nourishes the hair follicles, thereby stimulating hair growth and improving hair quality. Women who tested Esthecin – on average – noted improvements in all areas. Their assessments are reflected in the below graphic.

Esthecin is a combination of various natural ingredients, all fully plant-based. An innovative liposomal technology has also been developed for Esthecin, which makes sure that the active ingredients actually reach the hair follicle cells.
