We all know to those who have balding genes, DHT is number one enemy! Dutasteride lowers DHT more than Finasteride, it should have been the cure and perform better, but not the case for most.
Dutasteride lower overall DHT more, but also raises more estrogen than finasteride. I was reading some articles claiming Estrogen is actually bad for hair. I'm speaking strictly about hair, is estrogen bad for hair or not? What is the consensus here about estrogen?
Update:
Take a read of this artticle, I don't know how credible is that though. what do you think?

"Estrogen levels play a major role in hair loss but how estrogen effects your hair is somewhat complicated. Too much of the wrong type of estrogen – estradiol (which is the estrogen responsible for hormonal cancers), causes a very common, and massively underdiagnosed condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance interferes with thyroid function, which in turn causes hair loss. Too little estrogen is equally problematic, especially if you are low in the good, healthy estrogen –estriol (which actually reduces the risk for hormonal cancers such as breast cancer). Estrogen helps to extend the growth phase of hair, stimulate new hair growth, and protect against hair loss, primarily because it helps to prevent testosterone from converting into DHT."
