Hair loss questions, answered

What causes hair loss in women?

Common causes include genetics, hormonal changes (PCOS, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, thyroid changes), stress, illness, rapid weight loss, certain medications, and tight hairstyles. Your provider will help identify what's most likely behind yours.

What is the best hair loss treatment for women?

It depends on what's causing your hair loss. For female pattern hair loss, minoxidil and spironolactone are two of the most widely used prescription options. A provider can look at your history, symptoms, and goals to recommend one or a combination.

Does minoxidil work for women?

Yes. Topical minoxidil, the active ingredient in Rogaine, is FDA-approved for hair loss in women. Low-dose oral minoxidil is also prescribed off-label for women who prefer a pill or haven't seen results with a topical.

Is oral minoxidil or topical minoxidil better?

Neither is better for everyone. Topical minoxidil works directly on the scalp and is FDA-approved for women. Oral minoxidil is a daily pill that some people find easier to stick with. Your provider will help you choose based on your health and preferences.

How long does oral minoxidil take to work?

Most people notice less shedding or new growth after 3 to 6 months of daily use, with fuller results often around 6 to 12 months. Some extra shedding in the first few weeks is common and usually temporary. Results vary from person to person.

Do you have to use minoxidil forever?

Minoxidil works only while you use it. If you stop, the hair it helped grow usually sheds over the following months. Many people stay on a maintenance plan long term, and your provider can help you adjust it over time.

Is hair loss care included in Complete Care?

Yes. Complete Care covers hair loss care along with birth control, skincare, urgent care, and more, all in one membership with unlimited provider messaging.

Do hair loss shampoos, vitamins, or natural remedies work?

Some shampoos and vitamins can help hair look fuller or support overall hair health, and correcting a deficiency like low iron or vitamin D may help if you have one. For hereditary or hormonal hair loss, prescription treatments like minoxidil and spironolactone have the strongest evidence.
