5 / 436 resultscommunity HRT is literal black magic. Fin 1 mg/day @ 4 years, min 2x/day @ 3 years, Estradiol 4mg/day @ 3.5 months, and Spironolactone 100mg/day @ 3.5 months (estra & spiro are medicines you should likely not take if you are a cis man)
User shared progress on hair regrowth using Fin 1 mg/day for 4 years, Min 2x/day for 3 years, Estradiol 4mg/day, and Spironolactone 100mg/day for 3.5 months. They noted significant hairline recovery and advised against HRT for cis men due to feminizing effects.

community How insane would it be to take estrogen until all your hair grows back, then getting off of it and taking fin or dut to maintain
Using estrogen for hair regrowth is considered ineffective and risky, with potential side effects like breast growth and hormonal changes. Alternatives like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil are suggested, but estrogen is not recommended unless transitioning.
