r/mtfhairregrowth

It’s fair to say I love a wig - long hair - all different colours and styles - I’ve built up quite a collection. Last year I had a hair transplant which was my wake up moment. Could I now be able to grow out my hair? I’m adding topical high strength Min to help. I do it all - micro needling, oral min and oral min. Biotin collagen.

18 months later here I am - well at least trying to grow it out. Can I ask for thoughts, experiences and ideas from when you’ve grown out your hair.

The pic is me (no filters) but not my own hair.

Thanks in advance 🌸

Any advice on making it stop? Unless im just being paranoid, im afraid im going to lose my hair.

Hey yall :3 just took some updated pics. This is 4.5 months of oral min/fin and 3 months of 6mg valerate injections and spiro. Plus tons of supplements, hair care, and red light.

My last clean shave was 2 months ago. So excited to see it fill in! Its pretty noticeable how different the length is on the top vs side, which is a bit annoying. But im scared to go to a hairdresser for a trim- so I will hold off for now.

Have a beautiful day ♡

Hi!

​

I've had long hair since I was 12 (battling gender norms my entire life babyyyyy). I'm now 20 and have realised I'm trans. My hair is longer now (shoulder blade length as you can see in the first photo.

​

My hairline is bad, and has been for years. It recedes right up past my temple. The top of my hair is VERY thin too, which is my main point of concern. My sides and back grow fine, with nice thick hair, but my scalp and "fringe" (it barely qualifies as that) are very thin, short and almost balding it seems.

​

In the last year or so I've switched to satin pillow cases, hair regrowth shampoo and conditioner, blow-drying instead of towel drying and still my hair isn't looking any better on the top. Both my parents have naturally thin hair, but my brother's hair is thick and he has a great hairline.

​

Is there any way to fix this/regrow the hair on the top of my head to match the length and thickness of everywhere else? Ideally I want bangs when I finally transition (on a waiting list, I love the NHS). My hair is just so short up there and I can't seem to fix it. Any advice? Thanks <3

I take HRT, and finasteride. No progesterone, but I do vape. Why tffff am I still balding?!

6mo on hrt and loving myself for the first time in my life. Felt so elegant and beautiful today.

Hello people,

I have been having quite a great progress with my hair regrowth under feminizing HRT (plus Minoxidil) for the past 1 year and 6 months.

I have technically been on feminizing HRT since August 2023 but until December 2024 I was not on any T blockers and my estrogen gel dosis was quite low, so my E levels were low and my T was mostly unsuppressed. Even in this state I could already see some hair regrowth.

Starting from January 2025 until today I have been on T blockers and good dosis of estrogen gel, which now allows me to consistently have my E above 200 pg/ml and my T below 30 ng/dL.

I added topical minoxidil 5% (1ml twice a day, applied using a dropper on my sclap) in August 2025 and I am currently switching over to oral minoxidil 1 mg (I think it's a shit dosis but my dermatologist refused to prescribe more, like 2 or 3mg, because he was afraid that I would get side effects like heart palpitations), while staying with the topical until I see my dermatologist again in October to get my prescription upped to like 2 or 3mg of oral minoxidil.

The second picture of this post was taken around April 2024, about 8 months after I first began HRT with shit E and T levels, while the third picture of this post was taken today.

I am not using finasteride or dutasteride, because my T, and especially free T, is very very low and I seem to be fine without it (i.e. I don't really have a larger than normal hair fall).

My only "complaint" is that even though my hair density is quite good (although not perfect), my regrown scalp hair is still quite thin and most of them, especially at the back, seem to fall off after they reach a certain length like 3 inches. This doesn't really allow me to style my hair in a way that allows me to grow bangs or part my hair sideways.

Has anyone had good results in regrowing hair under HRT with minoxidil, especially oral, and did your hair grew and fell through several cycles, but growing stronger and denser with each cycle? I'm dooming a lot but I keep telling myself "every time it falls off it regrows thicker and stronger", is this just a cope or is there some truth to this?

Finally i can share some of my own pictures.
I am 30 years old, have been balding since about 21-22.
Looking forward to what HRT will bring me when I can finally start in ~1.5 Months >:3

Started to lose my hair around 20. Now in my late 30's. I been on monotherapy for 10 months, minoxidil 5% for 8 month and 0,5mm microneedling for 2 months. In the beginning when I first noticed regrowth it was glorious, but now can barely see any difference. Has it stopped growing or am I just impatient? I've come to realise I will eventually need to do a hair transplant but what could I realistically expect from that? I want to be able to not wear a wig or a hat for the rest of my life. Maybe get bangs instead :3

And would hrt improof it?

Mid-30’s human. Hair had been that level of thin for over a decade, was really worried it was long gone. Holy smokes this HRT stuff is magical.

-16 months on 1.25mg fin

-15 months on min, started 2x day topical and switched to 2.5mg oral 3 months ago

-8 months spiro/E. Titrated up to 100mg Spiro and 4mg E over the first four months.

-Intermittent and slightly inconsistent microneedling

-Ketokonazole shampoo about weekly

-All the regular supplements (biotin, collagen, iron, zinc, omega3)

-More sleep, more water

I'm so excited to see this continue to get better. I feel the sun on my scalp less. I have so much more to run my fingers through. That darned dysphoric bald spot is getting harder and harder to see. I'm so happy :)

Last 10 days thinks are really moving on quickly. New hairs just in super quick.
56 , earlier hair loss 30 plus year ago. First picture was as long as I had it or could get it end of Feb 26 and this is today. Top down only , front from the front has all grown back in. Add in the 46Ds and all at 19 weeks of HRT been quite a trip. Lost 20 pounds of muscle too
