Hi y’all - how much can someone expect male pattern baldness to reverse on HRT? I’m 29 and still have a pretty full head of hair, and it’s getting pretty long (at my shoulders, now!), but I can definitely tell my hairline is receding, especially in the upper corners. It’s probably not too obvious, but I’m very self conscious about it. I haven’t started HRT yet, although I want to soon. How much hair regrowth might I be able to expect, if any? I’m not inherently opposed to doing something like hair plugs if I have to, but I’d prefer to avoid it if I can
It’s also worth noting that unless your temples are quite receded, it’s actually surprisingly common that cis women have sharp temple corners of their own. Dysphoria doesn’t always care about that though so it’s up to you how you feel about it in the end. I know plenty of trans girls that didn’t and still don’t give a fuck and look amazing (and pass, since that’s something they care about) and I definitely would have also passed just fine without it but my dysphoria just didn’t care and couldn’t accept it as it was.
