Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

1. Female patients age 18 to 60 years at the time of enrollment.
2. Women who have self-perceived thinning hair.
3. Women who have presentation of female pattern hair loss/androgenic alopecia (Ludwig I and II).

Key Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of allergic reactions or severe intolerance to minoxidil and Botanical Hair Solution product ingredients.
2. Plan to use any other concomitant therapy to treat hair loss, regrowth or volume during the study.

3 Subjects taking or planning to take topical or systemic prescription or OTC medications for treating hair loss and/or hair volume.

4. Any significant history of concurrent medical disease, which in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry to this study including history of skin disease that may confound study results.

5. Subjects who have recently (within the last 6 months) started the use of hormones for birth control or hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Women currently using hormones for birth control or HRT must have been on a stable dose (6 months or longer) in order to be eligible for the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Investigator's Rating of Global Photographs at Week 12	The Investigator or a trained grader rated each participant's standardized global photographs for improvement from baseline for parameters like hair thinning, hair growth, impression of scalp hair coverage and overall perception of treatment benefit using a 1-to-7-point Likert scale. The score on the scale ranged from 1 (minimum) to 7 (maximum), that is, (1) Entirely Disagree; (2) Mostly Disagree; (3) Somewhat Disagree; (4) Neither Agree nor Disagree; (5) Somewhat Agree; (6) Mostly Agree; (7) Entirely Agree.	At Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Participant Rating at Week 12	Participants rated the parameters like appearance of hair, growth of hair, satisfaction with Hairline at the front of the head, satisfaction with hair on the top of the head and satisfaction with hair overall as an overall improvement from the baseline by conducting their own assessments by looking in a mirror and evaluating improvement from baseline using a 1 to 7-point Likert scale. The scores on the scale ranged from 1 (minimum) to 7 (maximum), that is, (1) Entirely Disagree; (2) Mostly Disagree; (3) Somewhat Disagree; (4) Neither Agree nor Disagree; (5) Somewhat Agree; (6) Mostly Agree; (7) Entirely Agree.	At Week 12
Mean Change From Baseline in Shed Hair Count	Participants collected their hair full day, including after combing and hair-washing. Participants turned in these hair collections at each visit. The results were averaged weekly. Mean change from baseline in hair wash/shed hair count was reported at week 12.	At Week 12
Number of Participants in Each Response Category Based on Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire	Participant satisfaction with the treatment experience data was collected via a written questionnaire This questionnaire composed of 5-point Likert scale questions, as well as free-text responses. Participants were asked to determine overall satisfaction with the treatment. The choices were: 1-2 = Agree; 4-5 = Disagree; 3 = Neutral.	At Week 4, 6 and 12
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)	AEs were defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a study product in humans, whether or not considered study product related. An AE could be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a study product and would not imply any judgment about causality. An AE could arise with any use of the study product and with any route of administration, formulation, or dose, including an overdose. Thus any new sign, symptom or disease, or clinically significant increase in the intensity of an existing sign, or symptom would be considered as an AE. Any new clinically relevant sign or symptom suffered by the participant, which appeared after the study procedures was reported as an AE. Any worsening in scalp dryness or itch score from baseline was also reported as an AE. The Investigator or designee had the final authorization to determine if a reaction was considered an AE.	From start of study drug administration up to Week 12
