The exact role of estrogen in hair growth is not fully understood. Hair growth depends on a finely tuned balance involving estrogens and androgens. Follicle-level balance and metabolism of estrogens and androgens matter more than considering a single hormone alone. Individuals may differ in how their follicles respond to or metabolize hormones. Differences in follicle-level hormone metabolism may explain why some people are more predisposed to menopausal hair loss.
