Responsible for our hair loss, to a certain extent, testosterone acts on our hormones (and yes, women have them too!). During the different cycles that we go through (periods and pregnancies), it is produced in greater quantities by our ovaries and weakens our hair. It becomes dry, irritated and sensitive to external aggressions. Venus Hair reduces the effect of testosterone and protects the hair follicle.
