Hello,
No...rather the contrary is true. Studies have shown that Diane-35 actually decreases the loss of hair, hair thinning and seborrhoea in young females.
While newer contraceptive pills such as Yasmin and Diane 35 ED can promote hair growth, older pills like Levlen were triggering a genetic predisposition for hair thinning in women.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. AJEET SINGH
