    TLDR Minoxidil helps hair growth and reduces shedding in women.
    Topical minoxidil therapy is an effective and safe treatment for androgenetic alopecia in women, according to multiple studies. The use of 2% minoxidil solution was found to be significantly more effective than a placebo in promoting hair growth and reducing hair shedding. The treatment is well-tolerated by patients, with few adverse effects observed. The success rate of the treatment ranges from 40-60% when used in combination with other treatments. Minoxidil is available under the brand names Regaine and Rogaine.
