What the Study Says

Hair Loss in Women


Listen Later

Are you noticing widening parts or thinning hair and wondering if it’s just stress or something more permanent? In this deep dive, we break down the definitive 2025 clinical practice guidelines on Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL) from the New England Journal of Medicine. We explore why the old term "androgenetic alopecia" might be misleading for most women and reveal the surprising role of the "Kenogen" phase in stalling hair growth. From comparing topical Minoxidil to the game-changing low-dose oral Minoxidil, to understanding the critical safety warnings for Spironolactone and Finasteride, we cover what actually works. We also discuss how to distinguish FPHL from lookalikes like CCCA and Telogen Effluvium, and why micro-inflammation might be the next big target for hair loss therapy.
