Really, do you have a link for that, or I can look for myself I guess. There is a link between male pattern baldness and androgen which is a male hormone, all the hormones are interconnected with each other on feedback loops, so it's not entirely out of reason to think estrogen could prevent it or whatever.

That said, baldness is hereditary, and it is passed from your mother's father, as I was taught in school, and it has checked out everywhere I have looked into it.

It's DHT. Estrogen does prevent male pattern baldness and slightly reverses it, it's a known thing for trans women. If you don't think having your own pair of tits sounds rad as hell though you could just take finestride which is a dht blocker. Fair warning idk if dht does anything most men want, consult your doctor or at least search side effects if you're more the "buy hormone blockers off the internet" type

I myself have reversed some male pattern baldness, so I know it's anecdotal, but it can be reversed somewhat. It's mostly because my testosterone is suppressed by Spironolactone which is an anti-androgen rather than because I have estrogen in my body though.

Finasteride targets that specific hormone though without affecting the rest of your testosterone as much though. If I were to recommend anything to you, finasteride is probably the way to go unless you want to be a girl, in which case I will never stop you. Hims is a good place to go for Finasteride

Estrogen does have milder antiandrogenic effects though. Some trans people can go on only estrogen and keep the testosterone away

I haven't found anything official (research).
It might even be some different drugs, I don't know what everything is part of HRT, but I've seen quite a few pictures of MtF people regrowing hair after like 1-2 years.
