I just read that during pregnancy women produce more estrogen which makes head hair grow faster, I wonder does that work the same with us when we take it?

Estrogen is just a group of steroids. Estriol is the major estrogen that appears in pregnancy, as opposed to Estrone and Estradiol that make up the predominant estrogens in post and pre menopausal women respectively (keep in mind this is very simplified) and are given in hormone replacement therapy (generally as premarin for estrone and everything that isn't premarin for estradiol).
So it's probably not as simple as simply "increased estrogen", which is pretty vague.

I think it does affect hair....
As now I'm off it (HRT) till mid Sept.....(damn-n-blast).... I do seem to be shedding hair more than norm....
