Hair
Density, coverage, peace of mind
Minoxidil works. GHK-Cu helps. The receipts run on years, not weeks. Here's what each month should look like.
The short version
What this is and why it works
Female pattern hair loss affects roughly 40% of women by age 50, and it starts earlier than most people think. The part widens, the ponytail thins, and by the time you notice it's been happening for years. The good news: the interventions work — but they work on a timeline of months to years, not weeks. Minoxidil is the proven floor. GHK-Cu and other peptides are the emerging layer. This plan gives you both, in order, with the evidence behind each.
The plan
Three levels, one stack
Start at the top. Go as deep as you want. Every item has an HOD Score (how strong the evidence is) and a real price.
Start here
The proven foundation. Apply to the scalp daily. Works by extending the growth phase. Over-the-counter, no prescription needed.
Low ferritin and vitamin D are common, treatable contributors to hair loss. Get labs before you stack anything else.
Go deeper
Anti-androgen. Reduces the DHT that miniaturizes follicles. Prescription, needs monitoring. Not for pregnancy.
Copper peptide that supports follicle health and scalp circulation. Emerging data, promising user reports.
Full stack
Systemic version of topical. More consistent, better coverage, but needs a prescriber who monitors blood pressure.
Platelet-rich plasma injected into thinning areas. 3–4 sessions to start, then maintenance. Clinical data is mixed but promising.
What to expect
The timeline
Month 1–3: shedding phase (the dread shed — it means it's working). Month 3–6: new growth starts. Month 6–12: visible density improvement. Year 1+: maintenance. Hair is a long game. Set your expectations in seasons, not weeks.
Where to go
The provider path
Start with a dermatologist who specializes in hair loss (not a general derm who sees hair as a side case). Ask about a scalp biopsy if the pattern is unclear. For spironolactone: any prescriber, but ideally one who'll monitor potassium. For PRP: derm or trichologist with a centrifuge in-office.
