What Is Minoxidil?
Minoxidil is a medication initially marketed for lowering blood pressure that is now commonly used for targeting hair loss. In the 1970s, the medication was prescribed to treat hypertension, but patients noticed that one of the Minoxidil side effects was increased hair growth. By 1988, the FDA approved Minoxidil as a regrowth treatment for hair. Today, Minoxidil is one of the most popular medications for hair growth.
Benefits of Minoxidil
There are several benefits of Minoxidil for hair growth. It’s no wonder it’s found in plenty of hair loss treatments, including our own! This is what makes Minoxidil so great: Can Minoxidil Be Used by Women?
Minoxidil for hair can certainly be used by women as men aren’t the only ones who experience hair loss! According to a 2015 study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 40% of women experience female pattern hair loss by the age of 50.
Hair’s life cycle consists of four phases: anagen (growing), catagen (transition), telogen (resting), and exogen (shedding). In the anagen phase, hair grows out of hair follicles, a process that takes 2-8 years. Afterward, hair enters the 2-week-long catagen phase, during which the hair follicles contract, slowing down hair growth and causing hair to detach from the hair follicle. Next, hairs spend time in the telogen phase, neither growing nor shedding for 2 to 3 months. Finally, at the exogen phase, which lasts months, hair falls out.
Hair loss, however, is different from shedding. Hair loss happens when the hair loss cycle is hindered. Causes range from hereditary hair loss (female pattern hair loss in women and male pattern hair loss in men) to age and childbirth. Hair loss can also include loss of baby hairs when they break off from being in protective styles or tight updos.
Minoxidil hair regrowth treatments for women target hair loss by directing more blood to the hair follicles, thus encouraging hair to spend more time growing long and thick and less time resting.
