Minoxidil
These include branded versions usually in minoxidil 2% and minoxidil 5% forms, as well as generic minoxidil (which tend to be lower in cost) and usually vary from 2% to 6%. General medical opinion is that women should not use Minoxidil stronger than 2% concentration.
Some women do buy generic minoxidil in concentrations higher than 2%. The thing to remember here is that there is an increased risk of facial hair growth the higher the concentration. So, if you are considering doing this, start at a low concentration and gradually build up. Also, as always, only do this under the supervision of your medical practitioner.
Serenoa repens (Saw Palmetto)
An excellent natural DHT blocker. Can be in capsule or lotion form.
Q) How long does it take for Minoxidil to work?
A) Whether on its own or with an additive, Minoxidil typically takes between 4 and 6 months to achieve hair regrowth. Therefore, there is no point in trying a 3 month course and then stopping. It is important to continue for 6 months. If nothing happens by then it is probably best to stop or try another product.
