"Male-pattern" hair loss is common in women, especially after menopause, and doesn't always mean there's a problem with hormone balance.

Tretinoin may help hair growth and works better when combined with minoxidil.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.

research Topical minoxidil in early male pattern baldness
Minoxidil promotes hair growth in male pattern baldness.
research Cyclic dynamics of hair follicles and the effect of minoxidil on the bald scalps of stumptailed macaques
Minoxidil helps grow longer, thicker hair in bald scalps of stumptailed macaques, and early treatment is more effective.
research Topical minoxidil reduces blood pressure
Minoxidil can lower blood pressure in some people.
research The effects of two doses of spironolactone on serum androgens and anagen hair in hirsute women
Spironolactone reduced hair thickness and some testosterone levels in women with excessive hair growth.
research Percutaneous Absorption of Minoxidil in Man
Minoxidil absorbs poorly through skin, with low risk of side effects at 1-2% concentration.
research Topical Minoxidil Therapy in Hereditary Androgenetic Alopecia
Using minoxidil on the scalp can help grow hair for people with hereditary baldness.
research Oral spironolactone therapy for female patients with acne, hirsutism or androgenic alopecia
Spironolactone is effective for treating acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia in women with few side effects.
research Topical minoxidil for hair regrowth
5% minoxidil helps hair regrowth in androgenic alopecia.
research Effective medical treatment for common baldness in women
Antiandrogen therapy helped increase hair growth in women with hormonal imbalances related to baldness.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Cutaneous Blood Flow in Human Balding Scalps: Pharmacodynamics Measured by Laser Doppler Velocimetry and Photopulse Plethysmography
Minoxidil increases blood flow in balding scalps, possibly reversing hair loss.
research Alopecia Areata Treated With Topical Minoxidil
Minoxidil can help regrow hair in alopecia areata patients.
research Direct Effects of Minoxidil on Epidermal Cells in Culture
Minoxidil promotes hair growth by increasing cell division and DNA synthesis.
research Effect of Minoxidil on Cultured Keratinocytes
Minoxidil helps hair cells live longer and grow longer.
research The stimulation of hair growth in the flank organs of female hamsters by subcutaneous testosterone propionate and its inhibition by topical cyproterone acetate: dose-response studies
Testosterone increases hamster hair growth; cyproterone acetate reduces it.
research The unit area trichogram in the assessment of androgen-dependent alopecia
The unit area trichogram is a reliable method to assess hair loss and treatment response in people with androgenic alopecia by measuring hair density and thickness.
research Sex hormone-binding globulin and saliva testosterone levels in men with androgenetic alopecia
Men with hair loss have lower SHBG and higher saliva testosterone levels, suggesting increased androgen activity.
research Management of the Hirsute Woman
research The effect of the antiandrogen IIα-hydroxyprogesterone on sebum production and cholesterol concentration of sebum
The antiandrogen 11α-hydroxyprogesterone effectively reduces skin oil and cholesterol when applied to the skin.
research Treatment of Hirsutism With Spironolactone
Spironolactone is a safe and effective treatment for reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research Low sex-hormone binding globulin levels in young women with diffuse hair loss
Young women with diffuse hair loss may have low SHBG levels, which could lead to more active testosterone and contribute to their hair loss.
research PLASMA TESTOSTERONE GLUCOSIDURONATE: A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF FEMALE HYPERANDROGENISM (IDIOPATHIC HIRSUTISM AND ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA)
Measuring plasma testosterone glucosiduronate is a reliable way to detect high male hormone levels in women.
