>DHT, or dihydrotestosterone, is an androgen produced as a byproduct of testosterone. DHT is a fairly powerful male sex hormone that’s responsible for things like forming male genitalia during pregnancy.

>In short, DHT is one of the many hormones that makes men, well, men. However, it’s different from other male sex hormones like testosterone in several important ways.

>Your body produces DHT as a byproduct of testosterone through the 5α-Reductase enzyme -- an enzyme that converts a certain percentage of your testosterone into DHT in tissue such as the skin, liver, prostate and hair follicles.

>If you’re genetically susceptible to hair loss, DHT can bind to receptors in your hair follicles and cause them to shrink, weaken and eventually die. This process is called ‘miniaturization,’ and it eventually leads to a complete end of hair growth in DHT-affected hair follicles.

It means you have shitty genes. It signifies you have less than desirable genes and might possibly need to ejected from the genepool.
