Minoxidil: Commonly known as Rogaine, this FDA-approved over-the-counter topical treatment can help thinning hairs grow back longer and thicker as well as stimulate resting follicles to grow once again. The 2-percent solution is the only FDA-approved drug for women's hair loss, and is considered the first-line of defense against the problem. However, Dr. Bauman notes that many women opt for the 5-percent extra-strength version "off-label."

Nutritional Modification: advocates that good nutrition, especially adequate protein intake, is critical for growing healthy hair. And, while there is no "magical vitamin" for hair growth, many patients report improved hair quality and nail-strength after taking supplements like Viviscal, Biotin and Zinc for several months.
Microsurgical Hair Transplants: Unlike your father's old "hair plugs," advanced microsurgical techniques now allow living and growing hair follicles to be comfortably and undetectably transplanted one at a time into thinning areas of the scalp for both men and women. Hair transplants for women can effectively improve density and coverage in the scalp - like the hairline, temples and part-line - as well as the eyebrows and even eyelashes.
