Yes, 5ar-blockers will cause more testosterone to be aromatized, rather than turned into dht, causing slightly higher estrogen levels.

I was thinking about androgen receptor
blockers specifically which I should have mentioned, but thank you. Ok upon simple research which wasn't clear to me before, there are seperate estrogen and progesterone receptors that those chemicals respond to. However I do still wonder if estrogen or progesterone make hair healthier? There's of course the fact that women have generally less dht and thus a diminished androgen-dependent hair loss, but I wonder if their hormones actually assisr hair growth as well.

That's a lot of information, very interesting though Armando. I've been reading more and I guess it doesn't matter even if an AR antagonist affected estrogen, because excess estrogen isn't good for your hair anyway. Progesterone could be different however.
