6–12 months: Hair may appear thicker, fuller, and stronger, with continued improvements in overall hair health.

What about other options?
A guide to what’s what in women’s hair loss treatments
Oral prescription treatments for female hair loss offer one of the most effective, scientifically backed solutions available. These treatments contain active ingredients that have been clinically proven to target the root causes of hair thinning, working from within to support long-term hair health.
With personalised treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, oral prescriptions offer a comprehensive approach to hair regrowth that goes beyond surface-level solutions.
Hair transplants are a high-cost, high-efficacy treatment for female hair loss, often considered a last resort when other options have not provided satisfactory results. This procedure involves transplanting healthy hair follicles from one area of the scalp to bald or thinning spots, with generally positive outcomes.
However, it is an invasive and sometimes painful treatment that requires significant recovery time. Given the expense and the nature of the procedure, it’s important to thoroughly explore all available options to find the best solution for your needs.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves a series of injections into the scalp using your own plasma to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair regrowth.
While PRP has shown promising results for some women, especially in the early stages of hair loss, it’s important to note that there is limited research on its long-term effectiveness. The high cost and the fact that studies on sustained results are still lacking mean this treatment should be carefully considered.
Minoxidil is one of the most widely recognised topical treatments for female baldness, offering moderate efficacy for some users. Its active ingredient is thought to improve blood flow and nutrient delivery to hair follicles, helping to support hair regrowth in certain cases.
However, topical treatments often require consistent daily application and can be costly over time. While they may offer visible results for some, they don’t work for everyone and may not address the deeper causes of hair loss.
Hair loss shampoos often promise thick, luscious locks, and some even include active ingredients that may help stimulate hair growth. However, these products work only on the surface and fail to address the underlying causes of hair thinning or loss.
While they can leave your hair feeling healthier, they rarely deliver the transformative results many women seek. For true progress, it’s important to consider options that work from within.
While vitamins and supplements are often marketed as miracle cures for female hair loss, they’re only effective if a specific deficiency is causing the problem.
For most women, hair thinning isn’t due to a lack of biotin or other nutrients, making these supplements more of a placebo than a solution. Think of it like watering a rainforest- it’s unnecessary and won’t address the root cause of your hair loss.
If you’re looking for a more targeted and effective approach, it’s worth exploring treatments backed by science.
Can a cup of green tea or a handful of supplements really stop hair loss? While natural remedies for female hair loss often sound appealing, most are rooted in myths or outdated advice rather than science.
From herbal teas to DIY treatments, these approaches lack clinical evidence to support their effectiveness. Though inexpensive, natural methods rarely address the underlying causes of hair thinning or loss, leaving many women searching for real, proven solutions that work.

Some common questions
What causes female hair loss?
The most common reason your hair might be thinning is hereditary hair loss, also called female pattern hair loss. You’re not alone and it’s not uncommon: Almost half of all Australian women will experience some hair loss in their lives.
Other causes of female hair loss include overstyling, autoimmune conditions, hormonal changes (such as menopause or pregnancy), infection, medical treatments or medication, or poor nutrition.
Can stress cause women’s hair loss?
Stress can cause hair loss in women, but it has to be pretty severe to make an impact. All hairs eventually fall out. It’s a natural part of the hair growth cycle. But an intensely stressful event may force many of your hair follicles to shed hair prematurely. This type of hair loss is called telogen effluvium.
Events that may cause hair loss from stress include major surgery, excessive weight loss, childbirth, illness, job loss, divorce, or a death in the family.
Fortunately, hair loss from stress is typically temporary. Within a few months of the stressful event ending, your hair usually recovers and returns to normal.
What hormone causes women’s hair loss?
This may come as a surprise to you but it’s the same hormone that causes male hair loss: testosterone. Or more specifically, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Enzymes convert free testosterone into DHT, which is known to shrink hair follicles and make it harder for hair to grow.
Compared to males, females have a tiny amount of testosterone in their body but it’s still enough to cause hair loss.
How to prevent female hair loss?
It depends on the type of hair loss. Some types of hair loss can be caused by behaviour, which means lifestyle changes may help prevent hair loss.
Eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet ensures that your hair follicles get the vitamins and minerals they need to grow healthy hair. Getting enough sleep and exercising regularly can help reduce stress.
You may want to consider quitting smoking, which is known to restrict your blood vessels and may impede the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your follicles. On the other hand, scalp massages may improve blood flow to the scalp.
Staying on the scalp, try to avoid tight hairstyles like braids and limit your use of heat tools.
If you’re worried about genetic hair loss, the best thing to do is consider hair loss medication. Women’s hair loss treatments, including The Hairy Pill®, are available to help prevent hair loss in the early stages and to even halt hair loss and stimulate regrowth in the later stages.
How to reduce hair loss in females?
If you believe you may have female pattern hair loss and you want to reduce the fallout (no pun intended!), the best thing you can do is take action. The earlier you do something about it, the better.
A hair loss doctor or dermatologist can assess your hair and provide some advice about the best way forward. This may include recommending prescription hair loss medication for women or one of the alternative treatments we listed above.
Tackling hair loss in the early stages gives you a good chance of both stopping hair loss and regrowing your hair. However, if you leave it too long, the hair loss may be permanent.
Can women’s hair loss be reversed?
Now for some good news, women’s hair loss can be reversed, particularly if it is caught early.
Sometimes hair loss will reverse on its own and won’t require treatment. For instance, after pregnancy or menopause, you may want to give your body some time to see if your hair will recover.
If you experience hair loss with no obvious cause other than aging, it’s more likely you have progressive and ongoing hair loss. You may be a candidate for prescription hair loss medication or a hair fall treatment for females.
What is the most effective treatment for women’s hair loss?
Hair loss shampoos, vitamins, and supplements may help, particularly when it comes to nourishing your hair follicles.
But if you have genetic hair loss, you may need something a little stronger — something with active ingredients designed to stop hair loss and stimulate regrowth.
When it comes to active ingredients, minoxidil is considered to be one of the best hair loss treatments for women. If you’d like to know what’s in The Hairy Pill®, you’re welcome to reach out.
Can I take The Hairy Pill® if I’m trying to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, sorry! Many women’s balding treatments are not safe to take when trying to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding and The Hairy Pill® is no different.
Once you’ve finished breastfeeding, we’d love to welcome you on board. If you have any further questions about this topic, you’re welcome to reach out.
Can I cancel my subscription once my hair grows back?
If you used The Hairy Pill® to expedite hair growth for a temporary hair loss condition (such as pregnancy hair loss), you can stop treatment without losing your new growth.
