Hmm, I'm female but I'll have a look around anyway. Thanks!
Gotcha! I think tressless could still be a good resource then, but from what I recall itβs mostly men.
My mom and sister have both started using minox and have started to see some positive results, but Iβm not sure of the biological process that would cause follicle dormancy/death in females, so Iβm not sure what results you could expect. Also to note, minoxidil can cause some shedding at first, so your hair will look thinner for a few months until it starts to regrow more.
Also don't bother buying the "woman" version of whatever product with minoxidil. It's usually more expensive and has a lower concentration of the active ingredient.
Granted you may need a lower dose as a woman but use less and each bottle lasts longer.
