Hair like enzymes are made of protein. However for a protein to be an enzyme it must have a very specific tertiary structure (shape) and have an active site that has a complementary shape to part of its substrate molecule. ie the enzyme must fit with the thing that it breaks down The tertiary sructure of hair is not highly folded and does not have a complementary shape to a substrate molecule therefore it is not an enzyme

What can be taken or used on the hair for hair loss?
If you are a man suffering alopecia or hair loss, the only known effective treatment is finasteride. Finasteride is effective in treating androgenic alopecia because it treats the condition at the source and not just on the scalp where the hair loss occurs. By preventing the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, it therefore prevents the formation of DHT.
