February 2025 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This study observed scalp hair parameter changes in transgender individuals over 24 weeks of gender-affirming hormone therapy. It found that masculinizing hormone therapy (MHT) with testosterone can lead to androgenetic alopecia (AGA), while feminizing hormone therapy (FHT) with estradiol and antiandrogens can improve hirsutism. The study highlights the role of sex steroids in influencing hair growth by affecting the hair cycle, with androgens shortening the anagen and telogen phases, and estrogens potentially prolonging anagen and inhibiting catagen.
