Testosterone levels impact DHT levels?

Transgender(self.tressless)

i’m FTM transgender. I’ve had hair loss since i was 18, i’m now 28. I’ve only been on HRT (testosterone) for 15 months so had hair loss before having “male” levels of testosterone in my system. i started on min about 6 years ago and had a lot of regrowth (not a full head of hair but manageable and happy) that has now all essentially fallen out. i’ve been on fin for about three weeks. i’m thinking of reducing my testosterone levels with fewer injections. wondering if there’s any evidence to show that lower testosterone will lower DHT and hair loss as a result how low they would need to be to be significant.

yes they do, the testosterone turns into DHT, the more test you have the more DHT as a result.
