Genetics

The most common reason for hair loss among men is male pattern baldness (MPB). This is a hereditary condition where hair follicles are more sensitive to a type of hormone called DHT, which can cause hair loss. MPB can begin after puberty and may lead to baldness if left alone.

Medical conditions

Some medical conditions that may cause hair loss include diabetes, coeliac disease, ringworm, and iron deficiency. The hair loss may stop when the underlying condition is treated.

Medications

Hair loss may be a side effect of some medications, including beta-blockers, retinoids, antidepressants, and NSAIDs. Hair loss usually stops when the medication is stopped.

Anagen effluvium

Men undergoing chemotherapy may experience anagen effluvium, a type of hair loss that temporarily shuts down hair production. In many cases, the hair loss will be reversed when treatment is stopped. Give it time and your hair usually grows back. Unfortunately, in some cases it doesn't grow back as thick and strong as it used to be.

Stress

When your body experiences a severe shock, the stress can disrupt your hair growth cycle, leading to sudden hair shedding about 3 months after the event. This is usually a temporary hair loss condition known as telogen effluvium. In most cases, your hair will recover after about 6 months.

We're obsessed with making hair loss a thing of the past.

Did you know?

The most common cause of hair loss is genetics. By the age of 70, almost 80% of men experience hair loss as a result of male pattern baldness which is a hereditary condition.

Almost all men experience hairline changes in their teens. The resulting “mature hairline” is slightly higher and less defined than what came before but it is not hair loss.

The most common prescription treatment for male hair loss, stops testosterone from turning into DHT, the hormone that causes hair loss. But it’s more effective if combined with other treatments.

Testosterone is not the enemy. Hair loss doesn’t happen because you have too much testosterone but because you have hair follicles that are more sensitive to another hormone called DHT.

Get the FAQs…

Why do men lose hair?

Most men lose hair as a result of a hereditary condition called androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern baldness. Hair loss usually occurs because of a genetic sensitivity to a type of hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which causes the hair follicles to shrink.

Male hair loss may also be caused by a severe stress to the body, a medical treatment, medications, scarring, infections, or an autoimmune condition.

I am starting to bald now. How fast does hair loss happen?

Everybody's hair loss journey is different so the progress of your hair loss can be unpredictable. It takes on average between 15 and 25 years for a man to go bald.

This personalised journey is why it’s so important that your hair loss treatment is also tailore to you. Everybody has different needs.

Am I too late to start my hair loss treatment?

It's never really too late to start treatment if you want to try and stop further male hair loss and stimulate hair growth. We have male patients from 18 to 85.

In general from the moment a hair follicle stops producing hair, it will take around 20 years for the stem cell inside the follicle to die and make recovery impossible. In the meantime, there’s no telling how much hair you can regrow until you start treatment.

What if I'm currently using a hair loss treatment?

Not a problem. There’s a strong chance The Hairy Pill® will replace your current treatment. Our partner doctors and pharmacy can match your current dose of a particular active ingredient (if relevant) or convert it (e.g. from topical to oral, if relevant) all into the one single, compounded pill.

It may also be possible for you to finish your current treatment program in conjunction with our treatment to avoid any waste. If you need any further information on this, it will be provided when you order. Alternatively, you can reach out and ask our team anytime.

Will this impact my fertility?

Put simply, no. The treatment will not impact fertility. If you're looking to conceive now and wanting to begin treatment or in the future whilst on the treatment, ingredients can always be excluded during that period and added back in later as needed.

The effectiveness of the treatment will not diminish, as the doctors are able to increase doses of other active ingredients to compensate. Our number one concern at all times is your comfort. As such, the treatment is never a one-size-fits-all, set-and-forget treatment like most others in the market.

We're always happy for you to speak with the doctors and make changes to your medication (without additional charges) to make sure you feel good both inside and out.

Can I cancel my subscription once my hair grows back?

It can be exciting when you start to see those first baby hairs and it’s natural to wonder if “that’s it” and you can go off the medication.

You’re free to cancel your subscription with The Hairy Pill® at any time. There are no lock-in contracts or cancellation fees. However, in most cases once you stop treatment, your hair loss will return.
