Excess dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a major driver behind thinning hair, especially in men and women with hormonal sensitivities. While DHT is an essential androgen for normal development, elevated levels can cause hair follicles to shrink, shorten the growth cycle, and accelerate hair shedding.
Fortunately, your body has a natural defense system—the liver. As the body’s primary detoxification organ, the liver metabolizes and deactivates excess hormones, including DHT. By nourishing the liver with the proper nutrients, foods, and supplements, you can support hormone balance, reduce the burden of DHT, and encourage healthier, fuller hair.
And when paired with the proper external care—such as FOND Hair & Scalp Care, a professional, plant-powered solution formulated with organic super nutrients—you can improve both the health of the scalp and the appearance of fine, thinning hair from the outside in.
Key Nutrients That Help the Liver Detoxify DHT
- Zinc – Natural 5-alpha reductase inhibitor; slows conversion of testosterone to DHT.
- Magnesium – Supports liver enzymes for hormone detox.
- B Vitamins – Essential for phase I and II detoxification.
- Green Tea (EGCG) – Reduces DHT activity and inflammation.
- Saw Palmetto – Blocks DHT production at its source.
- Curcumin (Turmeric) – Activates detox enzymes; reduces inflammation.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Balance androgen sensitivity; strengthen cell membranes.
- Sulfur Compounds (Cruciferous Vegetables) – Activate liver detox enzymes.
- Lycopene & Beta-Sitosterol – Support hormone metabolism and reduce androgenic activity.

External Care: FOND Hair & Scalp Care
While nutrients and supplements work internally to balance hormones and reduce excess DHT, external care is equally important. FOND Hair & Scalp Care products are specially formulated for fine, thinning, and color-treated hair.
- Revitalize+ Shampoo & Conditioner: Infused with organic aloe vera, biotin, saw palmetto, quinoa, and baobab proteins to strengthen follicles, reduce shedding, and restore elasticity.
- Nourishing+ Leave-In Treatment: Provides lightweight hydration, scalp stimulation, strengthens follicles, and improves the appearance of fine or thinning hair.
- pH Balance (4.5–5.5): Maintains a healthy scalp barrier, optimizing the environment for stronger, fuller-looking hair.
When combined with proper nutrition and supplements, FOND works on the outside-in approach, improving the appearance, resilience, and vitality of thinning hair.
Lifestyle Habits That Enhance Results
- Stay hydrated (8–10 cups filtered water daily).
- Reduce your intake of alcohol, sugar, and processed foods.
- Exercise regularly (especially strength training).
- Prioritize restorative sleep (the liver detoxes most between 11 PM and 3 AM).
