    TLDR 60% of women who didn't respond to 5% minoxidil for hair loss showed significant improvement with a 15% minoxidil solution.
    In 2016, McCoy J and his team conducted a study on the effectiveness of 15% minoxidil topical solution in women who were non-responders to 5% minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia. The study found that up to 60% of these women showed a significant response to the 15% minoxidil solution. This was a notable advancement in the treatment of female pattern hair loss, considering that only 40% of women had previously shown efficacy with the 5% solution.
