Hirsutism...and how can we take advantage of it

I'm wondering if the unwanted growth of hair on parts of the body that doesn't normally have it (hirsutism) might be able to be controlled and limited to parts of the body that we prefer to have it. Like our scalps. Are there any over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements etc that might cause hirsutism? And what if we make it into a topical for our scalps? Do you think it might work?

It would not, because in women it's a paradoxical signal, meaning that in women, it's androgen driven beard/facial hairs. The same signal exists for men, the problem is, it's not on the scalp.

Shoot. Yeah androgens grow hair as long as the follicles are resistant to their effects. Thought it was worth a try.
