Can dutasteride help with genetic hair loss?

Hi Doctors. Sorry to bother again. I know dihydrotestosterone is the primary cause of male pattern hair loss. Can testosterone by itself cause hair loss as well? Dutasteride causes an increase in testosterone in the scalp and blood. Can that increase in testosterone lead to more hair loss? Or is dihydrotestosterone the main culprit? Thank you
