Understanding hair loss

Noticing more scalp? A wider part? You’re not alone.

Gradual thinning that follows a pattern, such as a widening part, a thinner crown or a receding hairline, is usually hereditary. It is the most common kind of hair loss for both men and women, it tends to develop slowly over years, and it is something you can act on early.

Not all hair loss is the same. Heavier shedding after illness, childbirth or stress is usually temporary. Hair loss that is sudden, patchy or painful is worth checking with a doctor.

Hair care works through consistency. Choose a formula made for you, learn how to use it, and keep it going.

    Minoxidil 5% for men, minoxidil 2% for women, and TRIOXIDIL® formulas for both. Not sure? Take the hair quiz.

  2. Know your routine

    Read the directions and label before you start, and take a photo so you can compare later.

  3. Keep it consistent

Where should I start?

Take the hair quiz for suggestions based on your answers, or start with the men’s or women’s collection. Minoxidil 5% is made for men and minoxidil 2% for women. TRIOXIDIL® formulas are cosmetic hair care for both.

Are minoxidil and TRIOXIDIL® the same?

No. Minoxidil is the active ingredient in our hair regrowth treatments. TRIOXIDIL® is FOLIGAIN’s cosmetic hair care complex, used in formulas for fuller, healthier-looking hair. Some products contain both; always check the individual formula and directions.

Is FOLIGAIN® minoxidil the same as other minoxidil brands?

At the same strength and format, FOLIGAIN® minoxidil uses the same active ingredient as other minoxidil brands. Inactive ingredients, packaging and price per month can differ.

When will I notice a difference?

Hair grows slowly, so give your routine time. With minoxidil, some people notice temporary shedding in the first weeks, fine new hairs from about 2–4 months, and a fair point to judge results at 4–6 months. If there is no regrowth after 4 months, stop and ask a doctor. In the TRIOXIDIL® clinical study, changes were measured at 2 and 4 months.

Are there side effects?

Topical minoxidil can cause scalp itching, dryness or irritation, and some people notice temporary shedding at first. Unwanted hair growth can occur if the product reaches other skin. Stop use and ask a doctor if you have chest pain, a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, sudden weight gain or swollen hands or feet. Always read the Drug Facts label.

Can I choose a subscription?
