Nobody knows. The insulin resistance angle of hair loss is very poorly researched.

But if you want to improve your insulin sensitivity:
- cut sugars, replace with fats;
- do intermittent fasting;
- do high intensity exercises;

You will get far better results than you would from metformin.

Nobody knows what effect metformin will have on your hair.

Not is it known if the correlation between hair loss and insulin resistance is due to causation. It could simply be that bald men have more sweetness receptors on their tongue. Or that they drown their sorrows in alcohol.

Since metformin is thought to mimic the effects of caloric restriction thus extending your lifespan, at least you increase the probability of seeing "the cure" in the future. Theoretically speaking, of course.
