Finasteride 5mg daily is the most effective for female pattern hair loss, with higher doses of treatments generally more effective.
research Androgen Receptor Accelerates Premature Senescence of Human Dermal Papilla Cells in Association with DNA Damage
Androgen receptor signaling causes early aging of cells important for hair growth by damaging their DNA.
research Immunolocalization of androgen receptor in the epididymis of rats with dihydrotestosterone deficiency.
Finasteride changes androgen receptor location in rat epididymis without altering tissue structure.
research Emerging medication for the treatment of male hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.

Plant extracts may help treat hormone-related hair loss.
research 5alpha-reductase inhibitors/finasteride.
research Is Dihydrotestosterone a Classic Hormone?
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.
research Topical minoxidil fortified with finasteride: An account of maintenance of hair density after replacing oral finasteride
Using minoxidil with finasteride in a cream helps maintain hair thickness after stopping oral finasteride.
research 5‐alpha‐reductase inhibitor treatment for frontal fibrosing alopecia: an evidence‐based treatment update
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may help stabilize or slow down hair loss in some frontal fibrosing alopecia patients, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
