As we all know, not only is the face value ridiculously high, but he is also a muscular man, which can be said to be a representative figure of fitness inspiration in the entertainment circle. No matter how busy you are at work, you should always spare more than three times a week to exercise. According to an interview with Daniel Wu's wife Lisa, Daniel Wu has suffered from "M-type" alopecia for some time. And what she called "M-type" alopecia is the common androgenic alopecia in men. In fact, excessive fitness intensity can also lead to hair loss. Why? Let's find out.
How are muscles tempered?
Seeing this problem, many people will definitely say, "pull the iron"! Right, so how does iron make muscles form?
In fact, muscle building training is a sport that destroys muscle fibers. Muscle self-repair makes muscle volume bigger and bigger, and the energy source of this series of processes is under the "command" of androgen testosterone.
Testosterone is related to androgenetic alopecia.
Androgenic alopecia is the most common type of alopecia in men. The hairline on the forehead of the patient rises into an "M" shape, or the hair falls off at the top of the head. Androgenic alopecia is affected by heredity. Those with genetic factors of hair loss are more sensitive to a hormone called DHT. DHT will take these people's hair follicles as "targets", which will eventually lead to hair follicle atrophy and hair loss.
This culprit named DHT is called dihydrotestosterone in Chinese. Dihydro testosterone is also a kind of male hormone, which is many times stronger than testosterone. It is formed by testosterone under the action of an enzyme called 5α reductase. At this point, we can basically understand the causal logic of androgenetic alopecia, that is, human androgen testosterone produces dihydrotestosterone (DHT) under the action of 5α reductase, and DHT acts on hair follicles to cause alopecia. So testosterone has something to do with androgenetic alopecia!

Therefore, testosterone has a certain relationship with androgenetic alopecia.
Having said that, many friends basically understand why muscular men are prone to hair loss. However, let's not jump to conclusions yet, because the increase of testosterone does not completely mean the increase of dihydrotestosterone synthesis, and we have to continue to look down!
Excessive exercise may lead to hair loss.
First of all, here is a point: muscle training is hair loss. This condition is not entirely true, but excessive exercise for a long time to maintain muscle shape is likely to cause hair loss. So what is the reason? Let's look at a research data.
There is a study on the relationship between exercise and DHT (dihydrotestosterone) concentration in the National Biotechnology Information Center. Through the comparative experiment of three months, it is found that the indexes of testosterone, free testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the exercise group (including aerobic exercise and strength exercise) are higher than those in the control group, and the level of DHT is increased by nearly 13% compared with the control group! This study shows that moderate-intensity exercise and fitness can really increase the concentration of DHT, which means it will aggravate androgen hair loss! Why can't a bodybuilder like Schwarzenegger lose his hair? In fact, this reason has a premise.
Baldness came suddenly, not suddenly. Everything has a causal relationship, so don't plant the "cause" on the "fruit" of hair loss early. It is very important to prevent hair loss. We must pay attention to it, adjust our living habits and live a healthy life.
