Best Minoxidil for Men

Every product here contains 5% minoxidil, the only topical hair regrowth drug the FDA has approved for men. What separates them is the vehicle, the irritation risk, and what you pay per month for the next decade.

Best Laser Cap for Hair Growth

Low-level light therapy has real, if modest, clinical support for pattern hair loss, and several home devices are FDA-cleared. But they cost hundreds to thousands of dollars, so the right choice depends on your hair loss, your routine and how you will actually use it.

Best Minoxidil for Women

Minoxidil is the only topical drug the FDA has approved to regrow hair in women. It comes in two women's forms, a 2% solution used twice a day and a 5% foam used once, and the choice between them matters more than the brand on the box.
