Hair growth plans, built around you

The most common cause is female pattern hair loss, an inherited condition influenced by hormones and age that causes gradual thinning over time. Other factors such as stress, nutritional deficiencies and hormonal changes can also cause shedding which affects the appearance of hair.

Clinically proven treatments like minoxidil are the most effective option - up to 8 in 10 women see improvement in hair density when using minoxidil. Where other factors are contributing, such as nutritional deficiencies, addressing these alongside treatment can support a better environment for regrowth.

Female pattern hair loss can't be fully prevented, as it's partly driven by genetic sensitivity to hormones. Some factors that can worsen hair loss, such as nutritional deficiencies, poor sleep, and hormonal imbalances, are worth addressing proactively.

Starting effective treatment early, before significant thinning has occurred, is generally the best way to preserve hair density over time.

Evidence supports minoxidil as the preferred treatment for female hair loss, with up to 8 in 10 women seeing an improvement in hair density.

Minoxidil can be used either topically on the scalp or as an oral formulation - a clinician can help determine which is the better fit based on your background and needs.

Female pattern hair loss is treatable rather than fully reversible - but women who start treatment early are more likely to achieve hair that closely resembles its original density and appearance.

Most women see meaningful improvement with consistent treatment, with initial results typically appearing after 4–6 months.

Vitamins and minerals support hair health where deficiencies may be contributing. Iron is particularly relevant for women, especially those with heavy periods, as low levels may contribute to increased shedding.

‍Vitamin D, biotin, zinc, and other B vitamins also play a role in follicular function and hair protein production.

Voy Hair Vitamins are formulated to cover these key nutrients, alongside collagen, selenium, and additional ingredients to support overall hair and scalp health.

For women using minoxidil, results can generally be seen after 4-6 months of starting their treatment. 

Continued daily use is required to maintain these benefits, with maximum effectiveness being achieved around month 12 of treatment.
