The Truth About Hair Loss -    • Hair Loss Industry Exposed! - How I regrew...  

So this is a common stereotype.
The bald guy with the belly and the hairy body.
Now, it’s true that there’s a statistical relation between baldness and being overweight.
We’ve covered that in past videos.
But baldness and bodily hair – is there a link?
On the face of it, it makes sense. DHT is a) linked to baldness and b) is responsible for bodily hair.
So armpits, chest, pubic hair, limbs – DHT drives all of this.
Bizarre as it sounds, DHT appears to have the opposite effect on different parts of the body.
On the scalp, it makes hair fall off. All over the rest of the body, it stimulates hair growth.
And since baldness is linked to some sort of DHT excess or sensitivity, we can expect bald men to be more hairy.
Right?
Well, it seems like a reasonable idea, but the data don’t bear it out.
A study in the late 1970s found no relation between baldness and body hair.
Another study from the 1990s measured the relation between baldness and hairiness in various parts of the body.
The results were once again disappointing.
After that, scientists didn’t look into this any further.
So, our answer to this one has to be a no.
