Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change From Baseline in Participant Rating at Week 12	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. Each score on the individual 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.
Change From Baseline in Investigator's Rating of Standardized Global Photographs at Week 12	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. Investigator global photograph rating were assessed using 7-point Likert scale. Each score on the individual 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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Participant in Each Response Category Based on Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire	At Week 4,6 and 12	Participant's satisfaction questionnaire was used to specifically collect the participants' feedback on the treatment regimen, the level of satisfaction and future usage. Participants were asked to complete a cosmetic acceptability questionnaire. This 10 item questionnaire had a 5-point Likert Response Scale (1=Strongly Agree; 5=Strongly Disagree).
Mean Change From Baseline in Shed Hair Count	At Week 12	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.
