Dysphoria - Pt. 4 (Hair)

I think I've mentioned before that I had significant hair loss on top prior to coming out and starting HRT, 

I use topical Minoxidil (generic Rogaine) and my doctor has supplemented that with, at first, Finasteride and later Dutasteride which serve the dual purpose of being a mild testosterone inhibitor and guarding against BPH, and also aid with hair restoration by interfering with the production of the hormones responsible for pattern baldness.

I've had some, I suppose, decent results from this regimen, I have a pretty significant pelt growing on top where there used to be only wisps. But it remains fine and sparse, and does seem to reach a particular length and just stop growing. Thus, I wear wigs to cover my bald top.

Honestly, my hair loss feels like my biggest source of dysphoria at the moment. I'd love to be able to go out with only my own hair and not feel self-conscious and needing to cover my bald top with a wig or hat. I'd also like to be able to style my natural hair in more ways, experiment with braids, pig and pony tails, putting it up, placing the part in different locations, bangs.

My hair has also gone mostly salt and pepper gray, as has my beard. I actually consider the beard a blessing, it means I have little "shadow" to contend with. On the other hand, I'm not quite ready to "rock my silver" and dye my hair a dark brown similar to my youthful color.
