My besties from college and I have a very active group chat where nothing is off limits: pelvic floor pain, toddler meltdown solutions, even tastiest alcohol alternatives. It’s all pretty much fair game. When I recently dropped into the chat asking if anyone else was experiencing hair loss that was more than just that postpartum shed, well, you could’ve heard a pin drop.
30 minutes later the chain went off: Yessss, finally, thanks for bringing this up. Is anyone noticing ugh, a receding hair line?? My friend used an OTC cream, do you think it works? My brush is also sooooo full of hair!
The only reason I could think that a group of very successful, unapologetic women in their 40s would hesitate to discuss hair loss is that there’s still stigma surrounding it—for no good reason imho.
Hers is on a mission to change that by normalizing speaking openly about women’s hair loss and providing accessible and affordable hair regrowth treatment options (no insurance required). They’re a 100% online platform boasting over 2 million subscribers, offering access to customized wellness solutions from anxiety relief to weight loss. Their newest product, a Biotin + Minoxidil gummy, which claims to regrow hair in 3-6 months*, all thanks to two clinically-backed hair-growth ingredients in one convenient and tasty gummy. I decided to put it to the test (the group chat is eagerly waiting).

Effective and Custom Treatment Options
According to Harvard, about one-third of women experience hair loss (alopecia) at some time in their lives and among postmenopausal women, as many as two-thirds suffer hair thinning or bald spots***. For me, this tracks. I experienced the normal postpartum shed after having both of my kids, but 5 years later, I’m still finding the same—if not more—strands of extra long hair in my brush, in the drain and on the floor. It’s gotten to a point where my kids run away every time they see me with our little handheld vacuum.
I realized it was time to find a solution that worked for me. I turned to Hers since I heard so much about their other hair regrowth solutions, which include a pill, chew and serum. Their newest product, a Biotin + Minoxidil green apple-flavored gummy, is the only prescription hair regrowth gummy on the market helping women grow thicker, fuller hair in 3-6 months*.
The gummy is formulated by dermatologists and is made with minoxidil to support hair regrowth and biotin to support healthy hair. According to Hers, minoxidil is the only FDA-approved medication for the treatment of female pattern hair loss (also called FPHL) as well as male pattern baldness. In fact, minoxidil is one of the most researched hair loss treatments on the market, and numerous studies have shown that it works safely and effectively for both men and women as a hair loss treatment, says Hers.
The ingredients pack a serious punch and the flavor is shockingly good. Since it’s just one gummy a day, it slips seamlessly into my vitamin routine. With a million other things competing for brain space, I love that taking it feels effortless—no extra reminders, no fuss.
A Convenient Prescription Process, No Doctor’s Visit Required
Because Hers Biotin + Minoxidil gummy is a prescription hair regrowth solution, you can’t just give them your name and address and expect Hers to mail the gummies immediately. In fact, if this was the case, I would definitely question their ethics.
To start the process, you’ll answer a series of simple questions (that you can easily complete on your computer or phone), like what changes you may be noticing in your hair, whether you’re experiencing common symptoms like seeing more hair in your brush or shedding in the shower (yes and yes), and what type of product you’d prefer (pill or gummy). The questions aren't exhaustive, but gives the licensed providers an idea of your personal challenges and goals. I appreciated that there were check-ins along the way assuring me that my experience is ‘normal’ and educating me that I wasn’t alone.
Once I answered the questions, a medical provider through Hers reviewed it and determined that I was a good fit for a prescription. The whole process from first question to approval to shipping took less than 24 hours, and the gummies arrived 5 days after that.
It’s worth calling out the convenience of this whole process. I can barely find time to go to my yearly OBGYN appointment so the fact that I don’t have to haul myself into a doctor’s office to answer the same questions is seriously game changing. It’s all done online and products shipped promptly and discreetly to me. The total cost was $147 for a 6-month supply. This comes out to about $1.22 per gummy.**
Early Takeaways From 2 Weeks In
I’ve been taking Hers Biotin + Minoxidil gummy for two weeks and I am noticing slightly less shedding than before, though this may be wishful thinking on my part as I know it’s too short of time to see any significant hair regrowth. Hers claims that their gummy will reduce hair loss in 3-6 months, and I’m very optimistic I will see the results.
Of course, hair regrowth solutions are all about taking the medicine consistently, while also practicing healthy hair and scalp habits like brushing gently, eating a healthy diet and reducing stress (the latter may be a bit more challenging for me personally with two very rambunctious boys).
The Verdict…So Far
While it’s still too early for me to see any major hair regrowth, I’ve been blown away by the ease of use, surprisingly good flavor, and straightforward prescription process. Being consistent is half the battle with any sort of treatment and because Hers makes it so simple and tasty, this will never be a challenge.
I especially respect that Hers takes something many women still hesitate to talk about and makes it feel normal and approachable. If the promise of thicker, fuller hair in 3-6 months holds true, I may have just found an affordable, convenient and hassle-free solution. And you better believe my group chat will be the first to know.
