Some transmasucline folks and trans men may find themselves experiencing male pattern baldness and would like to minimize the hairloss. Other transmascs might want some less prominent changes from T (such as less facial and body hair, less bottom growth). To that end, a specific class of anti-androgens can be used, called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-AR). Those substances block the enzyme that is responsible for breaking down Testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a much more potent androgen responsible for causing male pattern baldness on the head and increased hair on the body, as well as bottom growth.
