Hair Thinning in Women

Common patterns

• Widening part: the most common early sign in women. The part looks wider and more scalp shows under bright light.
• Excessive shedding: more hair than usual in the brush or shower drain, often after stress, illness or childbirth.

Where to start

• FOLIGAIN® Minoxidil 2% for women: an over-the-counter treatment that regrows hair on the top of the scalp for hereditary hair thinning. Use it daily; results usually take about 4 months.
• TRIOXIDIL® for women: our cosmetic hair care for fuller, thicker-looking hair, as a shampoo, conditioner and daily formula.
• Women's Hair Regrowth Kit: minoxidil and TRIOXIDIL® together in one routine.
