    Isn’t it also why male pattern balding exists? I didn’t know that about cholesterol though. I have high levels of both dammit.

      Yes, testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which causes the male-pattern balding by binding to receptors on hair follicles in the scalp, which initiates “miniaturization” and the shrinking of those follicles, leading eventually to the loss of hair.
