Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss caused by androgens, is generally difficult to regrow naturally, as this type of hair loss is closely related to genetic factors and hormonal imbalances, especially the negative effects of androgens on hair follicles, leading to follicular atrophy and thinning or even complete loss of hair. Although this process cannot be completely reversed, modern medicine offers several treatment options, such as pharmacological treatments (e.g., minoxidil, finasteride), laser therapy, and hair transplant surgery. These approaches can help slow the progression of hair loss or improve its appearance to some extent. Therefore, although hair loss caused by androgens is difficult to regrow naturally, scientific treatment methods can improve the condition to a certain degree.
