Meant to strengthen and regrow your hair. If you’re interested in a prescription product, we recommend starting with the Hers free hair quiz — this short survey will help your Hers provider determine what treatment is best for you.While we’ll discuss the hair care products from Hers below, you can find a full breakdown of the products’ details, ingredients, benefits, and more in our review of Hers hair.Hair loss treatmentsPhoto by Innerbody ResearchHers currently offers several prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) products intended to treat hair loss in women. However, as we go over them, you may notice that the main ingredient in each and every one of them is minoxidil.Originally meant for treating blood pressure, the topical form of the drug minoxidil is currently the only FDA-approved OTC treatment for hair loss in both men and women.14 15 And low-dose oral minoxidil is a prescription-only drug that’s more recently started to be investigated (and prescribed off-label) for hair loss.
