Hair loss—whether gradual thinning or sudden shedding—can take a toll on self-confidence, leaving many people self-conscious about their appearance. While some opt to cover up with hats, others are turning to affordable treatment brands that claim to tackle the root causes of hair loss. One such brand, Hims Hair, is drawing attention after users reported results impressive enough to prompt comments from their barbers.
Starting at less than £1 a day or from £28 a month, Hims Hair offers a range of hair loss treatments formulated with doctor-trusted ingredients designed to slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth. The brand provides multiple options, including sprays, serums, oral chews and combination kits, allowing users to tailor a routine to their needs.
One reviewer said his results were so noticeable that his barber suspected he had undergone a hair transplant after just two months of treatment.
“After two months, my barber accused me of having a hair transplant! I’m 35, my father is bald, the crown of my head was very thin, I’d tried Regaine, and it didn’t work—Hims saved me a trip to Turkey,” he wrote.
Accessing the treatment is designed to be straightforward. Customers begin by completing an online quiz about their hair concerns, routine and goals. Although the process is streamlined, it still includes a required online consultation with a healthcare provider, who determines whether treatment is appropriate. If approved, personalised products are delivered directly to the customer’s home.
Hims is not the only option on the market. For those who prefer a simpler, non-prescription route, UKLash offers a £29 hair growth serum containing pea sprout extract, phytic acid and turmeric to nourish the scalp and promote thicker-looking hair. Superdrug also provides a hair loss treatment plan following a short medical questionnaire, including options such as Regaine for Men, priced at £65.99.
User feedback for Hims has been largely positive. One customer said: “Between months four and five, the progress blew me away! I went back to the barber, and he couldn’t believe it.” Another added: “Hims has really given me my confidence back. My scalp was no longer showing as prominently, and the fullness I had when I was younger started to reappear.”
Others echoed similar sentiments, with one user saying the treatment made them “more confident” and eager to recommend it to friends experiencing hair loss. Another wrote: “Within five months, I got my edge back and my hair and confidence is restored.”
Not all feedback has been flawless. A small number of users reported issues with the spray bottles, with one noting: “Product itself is good, but the bottle cap keeps sticking and won’t spray.” Despite these complaints, the brand holds an average rating of 4.39 out of 5 based on 1,876 reviews, with many customers reporting visible improvements within a few months.
As with any medical or cosmetic treatment, Hims requires an online consultation with a healthcare provider, and certain restrictions apply. Still, for many users, the combination of accessibility, affordability and reported results has made it an appealing option in the growing hair loss treatment market.
