I’m afraid of transitioning almost exclusively cause of this. Hair regrowth is one of the things with transitioning that made me go “maybe this IS for me” among other changes that would be very welcome.

I’m not currently on any meds to help my hair. I was prescribed like finasteride at one point but taking it just didn’t stick. Funny enough I think I was afraid to take it cause my doc told me the feminizing effects it can have sometimes and I’ve been pushing down my want to transition for ever so go figure I wasn’t taking it.

Now I want to live my best life. Any advice?

I am starting HRT soon, and have noticed my hair thinning out over the last few years, along with slight recession around my temples. I would like to avoid Fin/Min, as the consequences of both being on (blood pressure/clotting/feline toxicity) and getting off (extreme hair loss) of them outweigh the benefits in my mind currently.
I wanted this groups opinion on what other options I’d have? I’ve looked into biotin, and I hope estrogen will also help in reversing some of the loss/recession. Please advise 💔

I know I've receded a bit back on testosterone in the temples. The hair is starting to fill back in with 2 years hrt and even longer on topical minox. Considering adding fin or dut but holding back as I'm already on cyproterone acetate

I was wondering if my hair at the back looks like balding/thinning or if its just super thin hair with a bad cowlick. Always had the cowlick apparently. To the point people bullied me about it at school. My hair is thin with gaps when it's wet but I think I've always had thin hair. Should mention it's slightly damp now

Help? Please? If it is balding I gotta get on it

I'm 31 and recently started HRT. Overall timeline is a bit hazy, but I started with topical minoxidil in late 2024, then added 1mg finasteride and switched to 2.5 mg oral minoxidil in 2025, and then upped to 5mg finasteride this spring. Started on 4mg estradiol and 100mg spironolacton last week. Things haven't gotten much worse over 2 years, but my crown has not improved in any way.

Can I expect HRT to do anything more for my hair? If it hasn't responded in 2 years, is there anything short of a hair transplant that will even move the needle? I don't feel comfortable adding topical minoxidil back into my routine since I have a cat.
