Do you remember your age, or more well stated, remind us of your age and balding history?
I get that about the pics. I used to just watch tv and click my phone from different angles during my shed to record it but not to have to look at it. The fact that you (and I) are able to post pics on the biggest English language hair site shows great healing psychologically on your part. Even if you stall, you are one of the few where refinements of just a few grafts might carry you the rest of the way. My hope is to do this without transplants and I probably wouldn't go that route now since there are so many permutations that MtF's can try and it could be that if you pushed even further into high E2 levels that that might be the final break-through.
How long has it been since you began HRT?
Have you thought about using tretinoin and derma-rolling on your scalp? (and face, because it does great things to improve looks facially). Also, consider massaging your forehead and temples and getting botox on your masseter muscles. I have that done every six months and it will both feminize your face and lower tension on the sides and back of the neck. Rob English cited to a study where this increased hair counts by about 20 percent.
Yooo it’s getting so much better!
I bet You’ll have it all the rest back in another 6 months
Lol. I have had a good side and bad side going back to my early 20's. I think it is because surface tension/tightening of the scalp occurs more on one side than the other. It used to suck because my hair looked better on one side if I parted it there but then it looked worse in the crown. If I tried to obscure the crown, then it looked worse where I parted it.
My feeling is that estradiol and tretinoin together pack a wallop of a punch and they de-age pretty much all tissue. I use tretinoin at least once weekly and also when I microneedle.
Femininzation of the face is pretty gradual and along with hair regrowth, in my case came last. I looked female from the neck down and male from the neck up for a pretty long time.
You and pls have accumulated a lot of knowledge very quickly and at a young age and your comments, both of you, have increased in my opinion, in terms of being more open to suggestions, yes but also in terms of being stated in a way that can benefit others.
bicalutamide is not able to cure baldness. there are only success stories for cyproterone and spironolactone. you want to grow hair and have testosterone together. This is not possible. Bicalutamide should only be used after the hair has grown.
This is an interesting question. The point is, all cis guys want to grow their hair out to tolerate the least feminization possible. You need to grow your hair out before your face changes too much. I will study at the university. I don’t want others to point a finger at me and say that I look strange.
he cured baldness not with bicalutamide.
Bicalutamide blocks androgen receptors, so this T does not function in the scalp. It also raises E to the upper range, which, when combined with receptor blocking, can produce moderate growth. But this does not work for everyone.
Yikes. If that is true, then there will be a few crest-fallen folks on here. In the MtF world, people are hyper-focused on breast growth and body feminization and there are far fewer questions about hair loss since most of the new ones don't have hair issues since they are so young. People tout bica as being good for breast growth, here:

Look at @bridgeburn's pics but only at his face. That is probably best case/worst case scenario for anyone depending on whether facial feminization is a bug or a feature. To me, he looked very young facially and even a bit frail but overall, he was all but completely androgynous. It's usually a plus in terms of looks but if you look at the facial judgment studies involving women, many women appear to prefer oval-ish faces in general and find them more attractive but during estrus, they often then prefer blockier, squarish faces. It's all too predictable in terms of eggs being precious and sperm being cheap.
