There are 30 million women in America who experience hereditary hair loss. In addition, unexpected illness, stress, hormones or poor nutrition can also cause women to experience thinning hair. However, there are a number of products on the market that can help you regrow and maintain long and healthy locks. Please note that it's recommended to see your doctor prior to using herbal treatments, as additional evidence is still needed to confirm their effectiveness.

Rogaine for Women

Women’s Rogaine is designed especially for females who are experiencing hair loss or thinning. It contains a drug called minoxidil, which was originally used to treat high blood pressure until it was discovered that hair growth was one of the main side effects. Minoxidil is the only FDA-approved medication that is clinically proven to stop hair loss. It is applied directly to the scalp two times a day, every day. Results are normally seen within just a couple months.

Tricomin Therapy Spray

Tricomin Therapy Spray is a topical solution that improves the health of your scalp and protects your hair’s condition. Tricomin’s key ingredient is copper, which stimulates the cells that produce collagen and protein to help you grow healthy hair. It comes in a line of products that includes shampoo and conditioner in addition to the spray, which should be used daily for best results. Tricomin is recommended for women who want to regrow hair as well as to enhance the health and appearance of the locks they already have.

HairMax Laser Comb

A laser comb is another hair growth option that is often used in combination with a topical lotion or cream such as Rogaine or Tricomin. This device emits gentle, red rays that encourage hair follicles to restart growth and produce new hair. To use, one simply turns on the comb and glides it along the scalp, just like a normal hairbrush. It should be used up to three times a week for 10 to 15 minutes each session. Results are normally seen after eight weeks of treatment.

NuHair Regrowth Tablets

NuHair Regrowth Tablets are specially formulated to help women fight female pattern thinning. The active ingredients in these all-natural tablets include a botanical blend of herbs including gingko, cayenne and fish collagen, as well as the Chinese herb He Shou Wu. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, He Shou Wu is used to rejuvenate the appearance of hair and help stop hair loss. When considering this product, please keep in mind that additional evidence is needed to support the effect of herbal treatments on hair loss.
