Use daily topical minoxidil

Minoxidil is one of the most studied and recommended treatments for female pattern hair loss. For most, topical minoxidil is considered a first-line treatment, as it is currently the only treatment approved by the FDA for hair loss in women.

For some women, androgens play a stronger role in hair thinning. Oral antiandrogen medications work by reducing the effect of these hormones on hair follicles. These medications are not for everyone and require medical supervision.

Ask about prescription medications

Hair growth depends on proper nutrition. Low iron, insufficient vitamin D, thyroid imbalance, and inadequate protein intake can make shedding worse.

Correct nutrient deficiencies

Therapies are usually more effective at slowing progression than restoring lost density. Talk to a doctor if you notice: • Widening part • Thinning at the crown • Heavy daily shedding • Visible scalp

Seek early medical guidance

Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Shampoos containing ingredients like ketoconazole may help reduce scalp inflammation and support overall hair health. They are not miracle cures, but they can strengthen your overall routine.

Improve scalp health
