The problem of hair fall is increasing nowadays. This problem is also being seen in young people. There can be many reasons behind hair loss. These include improper diet, stress, etc. Hormonal imbalance can also be a reason for this. If your hair is falling continuously, instead of ignoring it, pay attention to it in time.

If you have hair loss on your scalp but also your upper lip, chin and back, 5 alpha reductase may be behind it. This is a kind of enzyme, which can be the reason for hair loss. What is the relation of this enzyme with hair loss, and how cinnamon can help in preventing it; let us know from the experts.

Hair loss reason

An enzyme called 5 alpha-reductase may be responsible for hair loss and increased hair growth on the back, chin and upper lips. Due to this testosterone is converted into D-dihydrotestosterone. Because of this, the hair follicles of the scalp become weak. Hair follicles are located in the top two layers of the scalp, they work for the growth of hair and when they become weak or damaged, hair starts falling. At the same time, due to this, hair growth starts increasing on the chin, upper lip and back. If you are insulin resistant, the activity of the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme increases and hair starts falling more. That's why you should focus on increasing insulin sensitivity.
