Seems to be one of those topics... but anyway this study from 2009 found that creatine did in fact increased DHT.

To be clear, no one is arguing that Creatine causes hairloss, simply that it exacerbates hairloss in people with so called androgenetic alopecia.

I recall a study that was set to try and replicate these results, but I worry that it was impacted by COVID. If anyone else can find it, I'd be very interested to see it.
