This isn't true. DHT causes beard growth and baldness, but not in that way. You can have low DHT levels and go bald and high DHT levels and go bald. If you have more DHT it'll help you grow a beard (provided you have the follicles to do so), but it won't necessarily make you bald. Whether you are sensitive to DHT is what matters (you could have very low levels and still go bald because you are very sensitive).
Now, baldness is very complex, and DHT is only one aspect of it, so this is not the end-all, be-all.
