If hair thinning is caused by androgenetic alopecia, minoxidil can be applied to the scalp under medical guidance. If topical medications are not effective, drugs such as spironolactone may be used in combination. If hair thinning results from weight loss efforts, hair volume typically gradually recovers about three months after stopping the weight loss regimen. If hair loss occurs postpartum, new hair growth usually begins around three months after childbirth.
