research What women want - quantifying the perception of hair amount: an analysis of hair diameter and density changes with age in caucasian women
Caucasian women's hair appears thickest in their 20s, with perceived thinning after mid-30s due to both decreasing density and diameter.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Recent Study finds Laser caps are more effective than 5% minoxidil for AGA
Laser caps are found to be more effective than 5% minoxidil for treating hair loss, and when combined with minoxidil, they are even more effective. Some users report positive results with laser treatments, while others see no change; the devices are FDA approved, but opinions on their efficacy vary.
community Oral Minoxidil Study of 60 AGA patients
Oral minoxidil treatment increased hair density and shaft caliber in AGA patients. Side effects included hypertrichosis and lower extremity edema, with younger patients experiencing fewer side effects.
community Am I the chosen one? Minoxidil experience.
A user applied Minoxidil foam to their face to grow a beard and experienced increased hair density and darker hair as unintended benefits, despite initially using it for diffuse thinning on the scalp. Another person suggested that the user's heart rate increase might indicate a high conversion rate of Minoxidil to its active form, similar to taking oral Minoxidil.
community Went for hair transplant. 3200 grafts.
A user underwent a hair transplant with 3200 grafts and plans to update others on their progress. They previously used minoxidil and finasteride to stabilize hair loss but opted for a transplant for better results.
community Follicum releases some data from previous phase 2a trial
Follicum discovered that their drug FOL-005 increased hair count by 12 hairs per cm2 in patients with less than 255 hairs per cm2 and is planning a phase 2b trial. They are currently fundraising for the trial, and the drug may also be effective for women.
