With so many hair loss products available online, you may be unsure which ones are worth your money. Healthline aims to provide our readers with practical, reliable information so they can make an informed purchase.
We vet all brands and products before featuring them in our articles, assessing them for safety, reliability, and effectiveness.
Healthline’s product testers then use each product extensively, providing honest and insightful feedback.
Before testing hair loss products, we thoroughly check that the brand meets our high standards.
When vetting products, we consider:
- composition and ingredients
- safety and effectiveness
- the company’s reputation and business practices
- marketing claims
When selecting our testers, we consider their hair health goals, treatment experience, and product preferences.
Healthline’s testers use each hair loss treatment for at least 3 months to gain a thorough understanding of its function and effectiveness.
We ask the testers to use the product as directed on the label and, if possible, in isolation from other hair loss treatments. We encourage testers to document their experience with the product through regular photos of hair development before, during, and after use.
The testers then provide detailed feedback, considering key points such as:
- How did the product arrive? In good or poor condition?
- Were the directions easy to understand and follow?
- Was it easy to use?
- Did the product have a noticeable smell, texture, or, if edible, taste?
- Did you experience any side effects?
Selecting the right hair loss product may feel overwhelming or confusing. Healthline carefully selects and reviews the products we feature to give you confidence about your choices when treating and managing hair loss.
