Well no, it maybe a co factor but there is no evidence that high dht directly causes hairloss.
For the last 20 years, the testosterone levels has been decreasing
as u can see from this graph, we also know that low testosterone equals low dht.
then why do we have increasing hairloss rates?
If DHT was the primary cause of hair loss then we must have decreasing hair loss rates, but the graph shows inversely.
Yes hairloss is determined by genetical sensitivity of ur hair follicles to DHT and yes nuking DHT to death does work in regrowing ur hair but nuking DHT is a terrible idea and has many side effects such as:
Erectile dysfunction, Mental problems, Gyno, etc.
Also very low DHT can be a promoting factor for prostate cancer(very high DHT could be the cause too)
If DHT is the main cause of hairloss, then why does scalp botox sometimes help in hair regrowth
The real cause of hairloss:
Is inflammation:
Let me explain
The mechanism here is:
Inflammation-->DHT mobilisation-->Scalp tightness-->Oxygen/nutrients deprivation-->hair loss
Even in this equation, the DHT mobilises itself as a defence mechanism against these things. Once DHT mobilises, the androgenic activity in that area increases which leads to scalp tightness.
Now the genetic predisposition lies in the mobilisation of DHT, some people, even tho their DHT mobilises, they wont experience scalp tightness and ultimately hairloss, but some do. DHT might fit in the equation, but it is not the main driver of hairloss its inflammation.
Why does minoxidil/rosemary oil work??
Well, both of them inhibit the DHT mobilisation in the scalp and thereby preventing hairloss, but the main cause which is inflammation is not addressed so that is why u have to keep using minoxidil or rosemary oil or else you will lose your hair.

Edit: this is just a different perspective about hairloss and dht, not saying, this is necessarily correct, and i think jonas and chadisbeingmade has better knowledge in hairloss than me, i just want u guys opinion on this one.
