A byproduct of testosterone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is known to damage hair follicles and lead to permanent hair loss, which is a problem for both sexes, but especially for men who produce more testosterone than women. A randomized comparative study published in 2015 examined the effectiveness of rosemary essential oil in hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia (AGA) compared to a common conventional treatment (minoxidil 2%).
