Facts About Hair Loss is an editorial review site covering the products, treatments, and research that matter for people dealing with hair loss. We review the supplements, topicals, prescription medications, and devices that compete for your attention in this market — and we tell you what the evidence actually says about each one.
Most hair loss information online falls into one of two categories: aggressive sales pitches written by the people selling the product, or vague generalities that don’t actually help you make a decision. Both leave you guessing. This site fills the gap with research-backed reviews, plain-language explanations of what causes hair loss and how each category of treatment works, and honest assessments of who each product is actually a good fit for.
We cover all the major categories: FDA-approved drug treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, low-level laser therapy devices, prescription and over-the-counter supplements, dermatologist-recommended topicals, and the broader landscape of less-proven approaches that get heavy marketing budgets. We name the limitations of every category and every product.
How we work
Every review on this site follows the same structure: what the product or treatment claims, what the research suggests, who it appears to be best suited for, what to watch out for, and what users typically report. We do not promise outcomes. We do not write personal testimonials about products we have not used ourselves. Where we recommend something, we explain why — and where we have concerns, we say so.
Most of our reviews include affiliate links. That means if you purchase a product through a link on our site, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This funds the work we do here. It also means we have a financial incentive to send readers to specific products — which is exactly why we tell you about it upfront, and why every review names both the strengths and the limitations of what we cover.
What this site is not
Facts About Hair Loss is not a medical practice, and nothing here should be read as a diagnosis or treatment plan. We are journalists and researchers, not physicians, dermatologists, or trichologists. The information on this site is intended to help readers ask better questions of their own healthcare providers, not to replace those conversations.
Hair loss can have many underlying causes — male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common, but thyroid disorders, autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata, nutritional deficiencies, stress, certain medications, and other medical conditions can also cause hair loss. If your hair loss is sudden, patchy, accompanied by other symptoms, or significantly worse than what would be expected for your age, please see a dermatologist or your primary care doctor to identify the underlying cause before purchasing any treatment product.
Our editorial standards
- We disclose affiliate relationships on every page.
- We do not write fabricated personal experiences. If a reviewer has personally used a product, that fact is stated clearly. If not, the review draws from research, user reports, and published evidence.
- We update reviews when significant new information becomes available.
- We do not accept payment for positive coverage.
- We name the limitations of every product we cover. Nothing works for everyone, and most hair loss treatments produce modest results at best for most users.
- We distinguish between FDA-approved treatments with strong evidence (minoxidil, finasteride) and supplements or devices with weaker or no FDA evaluation.
