Regaine® for Women

There are many different types and causes of hair loss in women and as a result you may experience gradual thinning of the hair or sudden hair loss. Commonly, most women will lose 30 to 150 strands of hair per day and this is completely normal.**

Hair loss in women can be caused by many factors, such as stress, diet, over-styling your hair (e.g. tight up-dos, extensions which can cause traction alopecia) and thyroid issues. Many women also experience hair loss during and shortly after pregnancy, as changing hormone levels can cause hair follicles to go into a resting phase. This type of hair loss is often short-term, and fullness should return after 6 to 12 months of giving birth.

However, female pattern baldness also known as androgenetic alopecia (AGA), a hereditary condition which causes hair loss, is the most common cause of hair loss in women. Although men tend to recede from the forehead and crown, women may notice the first stages of female pattern hair loss on the top of the scalp. Targeting these key areas with Regaine® for Women Solution or Regaine® for Women Foam can help prevent the effects of female pattern hair loss.
